April 27, 1942:

• "One thousand Jews are deported from the Theresienstadt, Czechoslovakia, camp/ghetto to Izbica Lubelska, Poland; one, a woman who escapes after arrival, survives.
  
• "Other Theresienstadt deportees are sent to their deaths at the Sobibór and Belzec extermination camps."

"The Jewish spider entangles the capitals of Europe.
Positioned directly on top of Berlin, the spider is poised to dominate the continent.
The 'international Jewish conspiracy' was a prominent theme in Nazi propaganda."

I wonder when the first flicker of doubt started to enter the minds of the men in the Reichstag. I wonder how many, if privately sorely regretted the Eastern front. I understand the even Goering tried to talk Hitler out of it. Never mind Stalingrad; even now the war was probably lost.
