I think it’s often tempting for people to, on considering the holocaust, look for a reason that Germany is special and something like that couldn’t happen elsewhere. It’s reassuring.

It doesn’t really stand up to scrutiny, though; genocides have been committed from everything from borderline failed states to states that appeared a lot more functional than Nazi Germany (which really wasn’t all that ordered).

I don't think German engineering is particularly tied to the Holocaust in the same way German order is. It was used by countless people as a defense of their actions [1].

Now if you were writing an article about German engineering, I would be mildly surprised if there was no reference to their rocket program in WWII. But given the topic, I think that wouldn't leave the same negative taste in my mouth.
