He killed more than 12 million in the camps, about half were jews. A lot of labor lost
Speer had just taken over the economy, which was not yet on a full war footing. Most middle-class homes still had domestic servants (Putzfrauen). Those Putzfrauen should have been in the factories, along with the comfortable middle-class housewives. Consumer goods no longer produced in America, Canada and Britain are still being produced in Germany. After three years of war and staggering losses on the Eastern Front...unbelievable!
It is good that Hitler was a scatter-brain.
