Was Hitler a Christian?

Considering that in less than half a year, by the end of 1941, about half a million Jews had been murdered within the areas of the Soviet Union conquered by the Nazis I would hardy tell that Nazis had trouble with efficient killing. Shooting was deemed to be too hard on psychic of executioners.

First camp was supposed to be used for imprisoning communists, socialdemocrats and Reichsflagge members. All in all camps were designed as a terror instrument [Richard Evans, The Coming of the Third Reich,s. 351, 352 of Polish edition].

Extermination begun with invasion of Poland, though it was Polish intelligentsia that was targeted at first [Timothy Snyder, Bloodlands. Europe between Hitler and Stalin, s. 148 of Polish edition]. That does not mean that Jews weren't being killed though.

It doesn't do the overall inhumane nature of the regime any justice and adds insult to injury to all the other victims. Of course, the largest homogenous group have been jews, but Sinti and Roma have been nearly as efficiently exterminated as other and less known groups.

Term "Holocaust" is used to describe Nazi policy towards Jews and in wider meaning also towards other nations so narrative easily can focus on one particular group of victims, depending on what writer have in mind when he is using the term. But in good literature of the subject Sinti and Roma aren't being neglected. Books about T4 aktion also are available.

As for inhumane nature of regime I think that Evans, Snyder, Kershaw, Burleigh or Longerich are presenting it rather well.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Quote:The camps raison d etre changed over time. They started off as work camps, with the jews etc being worked to death making the stuff the Nazis needed, but they later transformed into death camps with camps such as Sobibor and Treblinka having no purpose but the industrialised killing of jews. They were cynical killing machines consisting of nothing but a mock train station, "shower rooms" next to the mass graves. (a small camp was adjacent for the jews used to bury the dead and sift through the belongings of the slaughtered masses).

The Nazis released prisoners from Treblinka after they had completed their sentences.

The Jews were selling the idea of a "holocaust" in 1905.  http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.ht...946497D6CF  They are masters of playing the victim card whenever someone looks at them askance.

Yes, he was. No, he certainly wasn't a conventional or consistent Christian. But is anybody really a completely conventional or consistent Christian?

Who gives a fuck? Today's Israeli Jews do hide behind the Holocaust far too much to excuse what their right wingers do, not all Jews, but far too many, in provoking fights, to excuse land grabs. Same shit European settlers did with Native Americans. But that still would not justify what Hitler did to Jews. 

I am sick of the isms and race and "he started it" crap, all that is are points of view and Muslims and Christians all play victim too and that allows others to hide behind real victims to justify cruelty in response. 

Fuck the words "Jew" and "Muslim" and "Christian", we are still all humans regardless. And pointing to the others transgressions does not, nor should ever excuse more transgressions in response. The core reason these three cannot get along is simple. Regardless of all the claims of being peaceful or wanting peace, they all set up social pecking orders  based on a tribal book that respectively tells them the are chosen. And because of that pluralism even in modern Israel and the west, is still held hostage by that concept.

No, don't fucking blame Jews or Muslims or Christians, blame the idea of tribal grouping, blame the idea of being chosen. But so what, Jews have their baggage, yes, but no group, not Jews not Muslims not Christians, not Hindus ect ect ect, nobody deserves to be treated like Hitler did with Jews, for the same reason it was wrong what we did to blacks and Native Americans and even Japanese during WW2.

Jews don't get a pass either no, but mass demagoguery especially at a political level leads humans to do very cruel things to others, and cherry picking points in history is what gets us stuck on forgetting we still are the same species.

Oh, great response.

Might give us some additional clues from the extended historical library you obviously read to come to that kind of conclusion.

Between 700,000 and 900,000 people were murdered at the Treblinka extermination camp. You may be thinking of the Treblinka forced labour camp which served the extermination camp and where the survivors of the camp came from. At the Treblinka extermination camp there was nothing but instant death for its victims in the most cynical show of deceit and depravity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treblinka_...ation_camp

When I was growing up there was a woman next door who had been a kid at one of the concentration camps I'm thinking Belsen but I can't really remember, she had the tattoo and even then had a haunted look about her.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.

As I've said before, if the Nazis intended to kill all of the Jews they did a piss-poor job.  No wonder the dummies lost the war.  They were incompetent.  

The intent had always been to get the German Jews to go steal the Palestinian land.  A few did but the majority wasn't interested.  They didn't want to leave Europe.  So the Zionists ratcheted up the pressure to force them to leave.  Once the war broke out Germany couldn't afford to have that many domestic enemies running loose so it locked them up.  And then it couldn't feed that many non-productive people when its army and loyal citizens needed the calories.  So it killed a few.  But in the end they did save a countless number of them and a lot of them are still alive and bitching today. 

All of that happened because too many dummies believed in the biblical fairy tale about how that area is the Jews' "promised land".
