There was a history teacher, I believe his name was Rob Jones, in a grades 6-9 level school, I think in the 1960s. Students asked him how the Germans ever went along with Hitler. He had an idea to start a “secret” Fascist Movement in the school, without telling anybody what he was doing. He used chanting in unison, orderly discipline, gave kids jobs that made them feel they were important “stakeholders” in the Movement, telling them they were special and would be placed in more and more important roles, even nationally, when the President, some time in the future, revealed the Movement officially. He created a monster. Soon kids were cutting other classes to come to his, and the school was completely disrupted. Concerned parents broke into his classroom at night to try to figure out what was happening. He held his mud and wouldn’t tell. Finally he decided to bring it to an end. He made the announcement that there would be an official government disclosure of the secret program by the President on Television at 11 a.m. the following Monday. By this time the entire student body was plugged into it and they all gathered in the auditorium for the 11 o’clock reveal. Ron Jones stood on stage with a .TV set up and at 11 o’clock sharp turned it on and just stood there and watched. As the minutes went by people started to realize that the whole thing had been a hoax. Many students were crushed to lose their hopes of being an important part of something important. He explained that he had done it to demonstrate “ how the Germans fell for it.”

Have you ever seen this? It's similar to the experiment you posted.
This was in the late 60's conducted by a 3rd grade teacher in Iowa.
It is chilling and worth watching:

It is mind boggling to me, on these stacks', that people still do not understand the dangers of othering people
