The entire Normandy invasion was top secret. It was never announced to a large majority of people until the day before the invasion.

That always catches me by surprise when I see people just bolt out on the street.

Haven't seen that particular documentary but one pattern that I've noticed when it came to Nazi documentaries is that they treat it as though the camp guards and perpetrators were this foreign obscure thing that "just happened" or happened because of materialistic reasons. My understanding from me doing my fair share of reading and looking into the psychology behind it is that it is very much ingrained in humans to do that. For instance there's a very high chance that if you lived in Nazi Germany at the time, you have a high enough of a chance of becoming a Nazi.

What I've read that brought this point forward.

The Rape of Nanking - Iris Chang

Ordinary Men - Christopher Browning

This psychologist definitely brings this to point

And this is the lecture where he details this further
