The reference to die polizei is a reference to Nazi euthanasia programs from the 1930s until the end of the Third Reich.

"Useless feeders" and "life unworthy of life" ring a bell? I'm sure you can translate them into zehr gut Deutch.

It's interesting that you mention that, because we had those same types of laws on the books in THIS country for even longer than that... from the 20s, up until in some cases the 1980s...

Hitler wanted to "EXTERMINATE" the Jewish race period, because of a deep seated hate for the race in general.
"Euthanasia" was not known in the late 30's and 40's.

"Die Polizei" as you put it, was not involved in the process, it was the "GESTAPO" (GEheim STAats POlizei") loosely translated into "State Secret Service" which was responsible for the job, among others!
