Found this through [livejournal.com profile] gremliness.

This link describes the Third Wave experiment, in which a group of students were duped into acting like Nazis and thinking it was 'ok'.

I'm not sure if the story is true or if it was a tool used to illustrate a point. Check [livejournal.com profile] rialian a few posts down, for more additional discussion and some links - a movie was made of it apparently. A few people are attempting to check out the story. Anyway, whether or not it's true, the fact that it's quite possible is chilling enough...
