" The elaborate bureaucracies and rituals of power were all part of this obscene economy of enjoyment. The Nazis were in this sense playing bureaucratic roles in order to enhance their pleasure. Secretly they knew that the rituals of duty were a pretence to disguise the enjoyment derived from doing something horrible - even the guilt feelings generated here served to enhance their pleasure. So it was a kind of perverted game. "
