"I believe this theory has been in good standing for a long time. It’s not revisionist. The idea that Hitler intended from the beginning to kill every Jew requires believing he was willing to wait 8 years to put his dominant obsession into full effect. This is not logical."

Of course it is "logical." Hitler believed he needed the cover of war, and the absolute powers which came with war, to protect the secrecy of his extermination plans.

Hitler certainly DID NOT FIRST ORDER exterminations on December 12, 1941 -- that is pure neo-Nazi propaganda. He began exterminations with the invasion of Poland in 1939, though at that time did not uniquely target Jews. He further ordered, long before the invasion of Soviet Russia in June 1941, that it would be a "war of destruction," targeting especially Communists and Jews.

By December 12, 1941 the Nazis has ALREADY murdered a million, and were beginning to realize that shootings were a waste of good ammunition, and also detrimental to their troops' morale. So they were looking for, and experimenting to find a "better way," a more secret, almost invisible way to dispose of millions more.

But, has NO ONE here noticed the most astonishing part of this 1938 news report?!

"But for 700,000 Jews of Great Germany, it definitely means emigration as penniless refugees or EXTERMINATION WITH "FIRE AND SWORD." They themselves are the FIRST to realize this, with all the TERROR such realization entails..."

"...But hope of even that much is gone, because frank statements IN THE NAZI PRESS, unless the democracies and Jews in the outside world are willing to finance the emigration of German Jews, they will be put into ghettos and deprived of all normal livelihood, and the remaining "rich Jews" will be kept to support the poor Jews until all the Jewish capital has been eaten up, or some desperate Jews have taken to crime, when according to the Schwartz Korps, German Jews will be exterminated by "FIRE AND SWORD."

Now, what's so astonishing is that FOR YEARS I've read that NO ONE KNEW the Holocaust was coming. And yet HERE IT IS, spelled out in so many words, IN 1938!!

By the way, your "theory" is junk -- borderline neo-Nazi, or, in plain language: bull crap. You need to read some history books before spouting nonsense.

Thank you for making this point. This was another case where I was so focused in getting the material ready for posting that the most important part of the article went right by me.
