Was Hitler a Christian?

[abaris]

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).

They didn't really change. Death camps like Treblinka or Sobibor were designed to kill the maximal number of people without any delay. But, according to the Wannsee conference, led by Heydrich, working to death was the goal, with the caveat of the survivors being put to death, since they are the most resilliant part of the people.
