** The supposed pretext of the meeting was to discuss this and how to resolve it, but in actuality it had already been decided that Heydrich and the RSHA would be in charge, and that the other agencies were expected to follow their orders. Very early in the meeting Heydrich makes it clear that Hitler had already given his verbal approval to give the mandate to Himmler, and Heydrich is acting as the representative of the Reichsführer-SS.

** In general, there's a very clear contrast between the SS and the civilian bureaucrats, both of whom are seated at opposite ends of the conference table. The only exception is Stuckart, who wears an SS uniform, but is an honorary member. Klopfer is wearing his SS-uniform, since he held senior ranks in both the SS and NSDAP.

* BurningTheShips: Heydrich’s unofficial objective. As he tells Eichmann afterwards, "There’s no more flirting with the West. No turning back now.

With Germany and the US now at war, the US could no longer be relied on to act as safe harbor for jews with the means to pay for such an escape, and thus the jews no longer had any value to Hitler, something he made plain at a meeting on December 12. Heydrich was at that meeting and would have known that the final solution would now reach its brutal conclusion: the eradication of all jews in Germany and its occupied territories.[[/note]]

If ''Conspiracy'' is an examination of the psychology of genocide, ''Die Wannseekonferenz'' is a glance at the banality of evil. It doesn’t include passionate arguments or doctored minutes like the English film does. It simply re-enacts a ninety-minute meeting held by mid- to high-level officials in January 1942. The reason? To execute the will of their superiors. Given a stalled war in the east and the impending arrival of America from the west, it’s been decided that what the situation truly needs is for them to kill every Jew in Europe.

Defined by Merriam-Webster: "to adapt or modify for a desired end by alteration or special treatment". Eichmann signaled the stenographer to leave things out, i.e. special treatment. I stand by it.
