The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

For the cult? Yes. 100% and they will never come around. There were people in the concentration camps (single digit not trying to rewrite history, this is all according to eye whiteness accounts of soldiers that freed the camps) who were still 100% dedicated to nazism and Hitler.
Interesting do you have a source for this? I would like to learn more about the history. If not that's ok I can try to search for it.
The first hand account I personally heard was a man named Johnson, don't recall his first name, but his son is named Eric and he was my high school history teacher, who also served as a green beret, the father was a medic, he was traveling with a British group of soldiers, he had to do triage at a camp, lost of details stuck out to me, the nazi staff threw grenades into the offices to destroy documentation, the train tracks had been blown out for days at least and there were carts full of human remains they were transporting to who knows where. When they were gathering all the survivors they found a man alive hung on a meat hook, and he said there were a single digit number of men who came up to them, did a nazi salute and explained they were in the camp mistakenly and wear always good obedient nazis. He focused a lot on a man carrying around his brother, he did triage and told the man his brother was only hanging on by a thread, his eyes were already dry was his main concern and he marked him as ''aid last'' basically, he likely wouldn't survive under any circumstances. Then decades later he was commuting to work in SF where he lived, and stopped to by a paper got the train, and after he spoke a man he didn't recognize stopped him and asked if he remembered the man carrying around his brother, and he did, the man was the brother who was carried, he somehow managed to survive and recognized his voice after all those years. They stayed in contact for the rest of their lives. And lastly a student asked him what the most shocking thing he witnesses, and he said the most shocking thing that he really still didn't understand is that the people who survived the camps and walked out weren't destroyed, even so soon after liberation they had the capacity for joy, love, and lived their lives. I've talked to two men who were American soldiers and witnesses the camps in that context, and believe me, just being there for a day or two was a burden they could hardly carry, it was a living nightmare. But people survived. Anyway, That's all I remember about it, I haven't been able to find anything on my own to point to, but that's enough to at least connect the story to a person I know he talked about it publicly at some point.
Not a direct answer, but the nazis created hierarchies inside the camps:

It stands to reason that some of the prisoners thought they were better than the Jews.
