After an experimental gassing there in September 1941 of 850 malnourished and ill prisoners, mass murder became a daily routine. By mid 1942, mass gassing of Jews using Zyklon-B began at Auschwitz, where extermination was conducted on an industrial scale with some estimates running as high as three million persons eventually killed through gassing, starvation, disease, shooting, and burning.) worker I know the horrors of what was done, even before The Death Camps.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure, in the late 1930's the Nazis killed thousands of handicapped Germans by lethal injection and poisonous gas. After the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, mobile killing units following in the wake of the German Army began shooting massive numbers of Jews and Gypsies in open fields and ravines on the outskirts of conquered cities and towns. Eventually the Nazis created a more secluded and organized method of killing. Seven extermination centers, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, Dachau(Dachau was the first concentration camp established and was opened on March 22, 1933. The camp's first inmates were primarily political prisoners(Communists or Social Democrats), habitual criminals, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and anti-socials (beggars, vagrants, hawkers). Others considered problematic by the Nazis were also included (Jewish writers and journalists, lawyers, unpopular industrialists, and political.) and Tremblinka; were established in occupied Poland where large-scale murder by gas and body disposal through cremation were conducted systematically. Victims were deported to these centers from Western Europe and from the ghettos in Eastern Europe which the Nazis had established. In addition, millions died in the ghettos and concentration camps as a result of forced labor, starvation, exposure, brutality, disease, and execution.
Nazi's destroyed my peoples culture, they destroyed our people, they hummiliated and de-humanized us blaming all there problems on us. They burned our children, gased our wives and daughters, killed our sick, took our money, took our homes and possesions. They exterminated us, and for that I will never forgive the German people who stood by idly as the Facist's took over our Fatherland and soiled the great name of the German people.
My point being, what was said about the actions of a few was a dramatic understatement. Six million Jews can't possibly have been killed by a few Nazi's, As for children destroyed by this "Select Few", Most estimates range as high as 1.5 million murdered children. This figure includes more than 1.2 million Jewish children, tens of thousands of Gypsy children and thousands of institutionalized handicapped children who were murdered under Nazi rule in Germany and occupied Europe. My grandfather has told me that all the German people of that time were like that. It wasn't only the Nazi's.
Now that thats out of my system... Doubly awesome loadout, it that Kar98 all plastic? or did you modify that to?
