In the phrase ““Die Gesetzgebung selbst aber, die allen Wert bestimmt, muss eben darum eine Würde”, Gesetzgebung gets translated as “legislation”. The question is this: is that “legislation” in the sense of a given statute, or “legislation” in the sense of the process of passing laws in general? Would the second interpretation be plausible?

In the closing stages of WWII he saw some atrocities that flipped him out somewhat, and he started summarily executing German POWs personally, rather against the old Geneva Convention.

From what my father has said, towards the end of the war when the Jerries were getting rather desperate, they turned to the use of 'wolves' - kind of brainwashed child suicide bombers. They weren't hugely effective as they were easily captured.
Yes, my grandfather shot some children.

Things that could send you insane, like what you just described for example. How many of your pals would you see blown up or maimed by one of these 'wolves' before you started shooting before you asked any questions.
Not very many.
I suppose after you had killed 5 or 6 people, and seen many of your own blown to pieces, run over by tanks etc. You would be pretty desensitised, and would effectively become a killing machine. Well, at least being very capable of ending someone's life without much in the way of a second thought.

based on an estimate of the ammunition supplied and the numbers killed; it suggested that the vast majority of soldiers on each side was shooting high, or into the ground, or something like that.
I realise that I'm going to get a ton of [citation required] responses to that: I can't remember where I saw the research, though.

that on my father's side of the family we have been in documented military command for several hundred years - including generation after generation of truly brutal Border warfare for and against the English, the desensitisation (is that a word?) was already massively ingrained before he'd seen a moment's action.
My father and his brothers used to have to line up in their kilts for inspection and they all called him 'sir' until the day he died. A formidable soldier but a rather poor human being as a result.

I know there are still wars and what not grinding on at the moment, but the lack of actual World Wars and conscription etc mean that the people who are out doing the killing, are doing so out of choice, to a certain extent.
The thought of being 'called up' and given a gun after a weeks and told to get on with it is a horribly chilling and happened within living memory, so there is every possibility that it could happen again....I would just tell them i was a junkie bender autism, and hopefully get told to fuck off.

I think it would start by presenting mrs vipros with your latest commisions.
Then impregnating her and bringing up the resulting offspring.
Next I would make sure that anything you pass, be it closed or open, which contains fermented grape of grain juice should be immediately poured down your gullet.
I feel then that some sort of course on the benefits of observation should be undertaken, possibly followed by detailed study on the soldering and bending of copper pipes and the correct way to attach them to radiators.
Now, although you have extensively renovated your current abode, I think the next challenge would be to construct a dwelling from scratch.
Then you should ensure that nothing you ever do or say could be considered incorrect.
And finally, you should have a nice cold beer. But don't let Mrs Vipros know.
