Final answer:

Stanley Milgram would likely say that under certain circumstances, anyone can behave like the Nazis during World War II.

Step-by-step explanation:

If asked about the blind obedience of the Nazis during World War II, Stanley Milgram would most likely say that under some circumstances, anyone can behave like the Nazis did during the Second World War. Milgram conducted research on obedience, specifically to test whether people would be willing to inflict pain and suffering on others simply because they were ordered to do so by an authority figure.

In his famous Milgram Experiment, he found that nearly two-thirds of the participants were willing to administer what they believed to be lethal shocks to another person. This demonstrated that obedience to authority can lead individuals to engage in harmful actions, even against their moral judgment.
