To What Extent Was Nationalism Used By The Nazi’s to Justify Mass Murder and Unspeakable Torture?

In 1918 Germans lost WW1, they felt really embarrassed and felt that they needed to blame someone for their loss, so they blamed religious groups, (mostly the Jews). While blaming other people for what happened. Adolf Hitler soon rose to power and started putting ideas in the Germans head that their country was the better than all the other countries, and that they deserved to rule the world, that is was the Jews fault that they lost. He used Nationalism to change their mindset to make them think that killing and torturing the Jews was appropriate.
