Now that Darryl Cooper has had his say, I will have my say: Darryl Cooper is wrong. There is too much documentary evidence that refutes him.
Starvation was a deliberate part of Nazi genocide. It was used against all opponents of Nazism: Jews, Russians, Poles, Ukrainians, Dutch and the Low Countries, even the French. Herman Goering was the Nazi minister implementing it in Eastern Europe. The meticulous minutes of Wannsee Conference is proof of Nazi intentions.
Winston Churchill was one of the few men of his time who recognized the threat of Nazism, years before many. He was a champion of the oppressed while the rest of Europe buried their heads in the sand.
His point was the mass murder in Poland was done out of expediency rather than anti-Semitism. The Nazis didn't have a plan to hold those they captured so murdering them was more convenient.
If true, that doesn't make what they did any less evil.
But, his point was that this was another example of the government putting a spin on an event to push a narrative.
In this case, that narrative has established the principle that one act of murder is worse than another. That principle is the one behind hate crime legislation. It's created multiple double standards and tiers of justice in this country.
