i just don't understand the numbers of people claimed to have died. I've heard 8 million or more. Was there even that many jews in Poland and Austria?
Most prisoners of war died from disease, a shitload died because the allies bombed the railroads, no supplies=starved prisoners. 500,000 thousand died tops as a result of the aforementioned and random murders of prisoners, probably lower. Gas chambers were never used as they were just not feasible in any way, science bears this out. There was also zero literature or orders pertaining to eradicating jews.
Sounds good though and generates a lot of people a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
