Riga 3:

Le idee sulla colpa collettiva e la punizione collettiva nacquero verso la fine della guerra per mano della classe politica inglese e americana, quando cominciarono a essere diffusi orrendi video sui campi di concentramento nazisti per indurire l'opinione pubblica e renderla più conforme a quella dei politici.

A partire dal 1944 fu iniziata una campagna di [[propaganda]] negli USA che sosteneva una pace con condizioni molto dure per la Germania e che era volta anche a porre fine alla consuetidine di vedere il nazismo come un'entità separata rispetto al popolo tedesco.Already inDelle 1944dichiarazioni prominentdi USalcuni opiniongovernanti makersinglesi hade initiated a domestic propaganda campaign (which was to continue until 1948) arguing for a harsh peace for Germanyamericani, withfatte apiù particularo aimmeno tonel endperiodo thedella apparentresa habitdella inGermania theindicavano USl'intera ofnazione viewingtedesca thecome Naziscolpevole andmoralmente theper Germanle peopleazioni asdel separateregime entities.<ref>Steven Caseynazista, (2005),usando Thespesso Campaigni totermini sell"colpa" a harsh peace for Germany to the American public, 1944 - 1948, [online].

Statements made by the British and U.S. governments, both before and immediately after Germany's [[Surrender (military)|surrender]], indicate that the German nation as a whole was to be held [[moral responsibility|responsible]] for the actions of the Nazi regime, often using the terms "collective guilt" and "[[collective responsibility]]".<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=FiyHJ8MiR1gC&pg=PA262&dq=collective+responsibility+german&sig=NHnIn8bNfr_WYo4F_AZ2Gea0cc0#PPA262,M1 Balfour, pg 264]</ref>

To that end, as the Allies began their post-war denazification efforts, the [[Psychological Warfare Division]] (PWD) of [[SHAEF]] (Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force) undertook a psychological [[propaganda]] [[Political campaign|campaign]] for the purpose of developing a German sense of collective responsibility.<ref name="janowitz1946">[http://www.jstor.org/stable/2770938 Janowitz, 1946]</ref> The Public Relations and Information Services Control Group of the British Element of the Allied Control Commission began in 1945 to issue directives to officers in charge of producing newspapers and radio broadcasts for the German population to emphasize "the moral responsibility of all Germans for Nazi crimes."<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=FiyHJ8MiR1gC&pg=PA262&dq=collective+responsibility+german&sig=NHnIn8bNfr_WYo4F_AZ2Gea0cc0#PPA263,M1 Balfour, pg 263]</ref> Similarly, among U.S. authorities, such a sense of collective guilt was "considered a prerequisite to any long-term education of the German people."<ref name="janowitz1946" />
