That is what the Nazis seemed to be doing. The process just wasn't complete before it was interrupted by war.
Gypsies were a bunch of wanderers, crooks, thieves and vagabonds. They weren't dangerous either, and to murder them served no real purpose.
There would seem to be some contradiction there. Surely the Nazis were doing the world a favor by killing them, if they indeed did.
The hatred Hitler seemed to have for the "inferior" Slavic race was also uncalled for.
Yes, if accurately reported, that does seem to be somewhat strange.
Too much of Germany's finest soldiers and brightest minds were wasted on guarding camps, overseeing forced labor
Yes. The performance of the SS Totenkopf Division attests to this. It was indeed a stupid and baffling decision to rely on forced labor rather than mobilizing German females to achieve greater industrial production. There never was a German equivalent of Rosie the Riveter. For that and his gutless wussing out at Nuremberg, Albert Speer will go down as one of history's greatest losers/assholes. But then what was a relatively small nation to do with the huge amount of prisoners they had?
