And yeah, Dachau was originally for political dissidents as opposed to Work Jews to Death, but I don't think it's safe to say Hitler started engaging in genocide because he declared war


But would it be the Holocaust or "just" genocide, as it would have been confined to the boarders of Germany (possibly Austria as well), rather than stretching across much of Europe?
It would likely have meant it was easier to get away as well, since it would have just needed them to get to Poland, France, Belguim etc.

It is fairly large, but yes - 18/08/2010 02:21:25 PM 741 Views
Well, yes, it WAS a purchase, but then, it would be. - 18/08/2010 03:22:23 PM 1185 Views
