I'm not in the least surprised
But he can still go fuck himself
No, it doesn't.
But that doesn't mean we should forget about the actions carried out against a whole group of people simply because they're a minority. Let's not forget, it wasn't just Jews who were slaughtered by this madman's regime. "Gypsies" and others who were considered "subhuman", including the mentally ill were slaughtered in their thousands.
And you're right, Hitler likely didn't kill anyone himself in the war. But he and his underlings either ordered it or were fully aware of it and did nothing to end it. Delegation is a wonderful thing, isn't it? It was a common excuse among those who carried out the atrocities that they were "just following orders". As the "man" at the top of the regime, he is ultimately responsible.
And yes, he MAY have been fighting domestic "terrorists" at first. Though that doesn't excuse the actions of his underlings or explain the targeted killings of specific groups in areas his armies conquered. The einsatzgruppen didn't follow up the advancing armies to fight partisans. They were specifically tasked to locate and wipe out parts of the population.
Does this justify ignoring the atrocities of other groups at the time or since? Of course not.
But let's not ignore a terrible event that left millions dead.
It makes us appear just like the Turks denying the Armenian genocide.
Oh, and I know you didn't, but please never use the term "ethnic cleansing" around me.
