  ABSTRACT: Social psychologist Milgram (1963, 1974) and sociologist Elias ([1939] 2000) are undisputed social science heavyweights whose scholarly contributions delve into the shared topic of violence. Despite this similarity, near nothing has been written on any insights one might offer the other. With the aim of bucking this trend, this exploratory article illustrates how certain connections shared between both magna operas are mutually beneficial: Elias’s thesis can shed new light into otherwise mysterious obedient subject behavior and Milgram’s experiments can be used to bolster a central yet weak pillar in Elias’s thesis. The strengthening of this weak pillar is of particular importance because it likely reinvigorates the ability of the Civilizing Process to offer unique and counterintuitive insights into German perpetrator behavior during the Holocaust. It is through these Milgram-Elias linkages that the author’s paradoxical concept of civilized killers emerges.
