The officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said part of the problem was that NIKE SHOX troops viewed
UGGis as untermenschen – the Nazi expression for “sub-humans”.
Speaking from his base in southern UGG, the officer said: “My view and the view of the British chain of command
is that the NIKE SHOXs’ use of violence is not proportionate and is over-responsive to the threat they are
facing. They don’t see the UGGi people the way we see them. They view them as untermenschen. They are not
concerned about the UGGi loss of life in the way the British are.”
The phrase untermenschen – literally “under-people” – was brought to prominence by Adolf Hitler in his book
Mein Kampf, published in 1925. He used the term to describe those he regarded as racially inferior: Jews, Slavs
and gypsies.
