Never attribute to malice what incompetence can explain

It's so sad that the Nazis wanted to give Jews a Zionist homeland but had made so many political enemies they couldn't help them emigrate them anymore... And then those disease outbreaks in the holding camps, whew, that was some bad civil engineering. And when they installed the delousing showers they should really have fired the guy that made the delousing gas release valve dump too much into a closed space, but that's the for of war for ya.

Malice exists, and people like making excuses for themselves. That quote, even in its original form, has never been good advice.
