“Nacht und Nebel, German for “Night and Fog” was a directive of Adolf Hitler on 7 December 1941 that was originally intended to winnow out all political activists and resistance ‘helpers’, ‘anyone endangering German security’ throughout Nazi Germany‘s occupied territories. Until the decree, prisoners from Western Europe were handled by German soldiers according to national agreements and procedures such as the Geneva Convention. Hitler and his upper level staff, however, made a critical decision not to have to conform to what they considered unnecessary rules.”
