A history teacher asked a simple question. Five days later, 200 students were saluting him.

In 1967, Ron Jones faced an impossible question from his Cubberley High School students: "How could ordinary Germans claim they didn't know about the Holocaust?" Instead of lecturing, he decided to show them. He created "The Third Wave"—a fake movement built on discipline, community, and superiority.

What started as a one-day demonstration spiraled into something terrifying. Students reported their own parents. They created membership cards and rituals. They enforced conformity through peer pressure and intimidation. By day five, over 200 students had joined—and they believed it was real.

When Jones finally revealed the truth by showing footage of Nazi rallies, students wept. Some couldn't accept that they'd been manipulated. The psychological impact lingered for decades.

The Third Wave wasn't just an experiment—it was a warning. It showed how quickly ordinary people embrace authoritarian structures when given purpose, belonging, and an enemy to blame.
