just kill all of the Nazis?

Are you serious? A German factory-worker with a family (possibly a Nazi himself who happens to not be anti-semitic) should personally kill all the Nazis? This seems to you like a way to cut this particular knot?

Well, ultimately, that was sort of the collective strategy the world used, wasn't it? (Not quite; a lot of low-level Nazis were pardoned after the war.)

And you can't ignore the collective action, now can you?
