Summary/Abstract: Recent applications to cognitive disciplines’ tools, endorsed by a series of various experiments which were designed to replicate situational forces with higher accuracy, in order to further apprehend perpetrators’ inner mechanisms, should continue to be extended to an upper level of scientific examination. Whereas the purpose of any scientifically-conducted case study is to extract as many learning points as possible from a certain historical development, so that the conclusive knowledge be further implemented and exploited to several others, it is also to be considered that such studies can be altered by a series of limitations. There would always be matters and occurrences in every study which will prove out of the researcher’s management and jurisdiction. The purpose of the case-study proposed hereafter consists of an indepth analysis of the Waffen-SS war-crime phenomenology, seeking those specific patterns and causes of behaviour that generated those respective actions. In order to pursue an appropriate cause and effect investigation, we need to assess the institutional framework doubled by contextual factors – battlefront occurrence alongside its related emotionally and legally-generated behaviours – and the actual activities evolved within the military developments.
