In the earlier part of the century they (Jews) were seen as mentally unfit.

Prove it, statistically; I don't buy it. The early exterminations were of the aged, insane, and those with serious birth defects.

I see no reason for you to be a sarcastic jerk, especially since that link you provided had no specific information about why Hitler wanted to get rid of the Jews.

Name calling already? You misread what I wrote in the first place, and condescendingly chose not to investigate it, taking the post as an attempt to refute the accuracy of the facts in your thesis rather than it's obviously erroneous claim to be the comprehensive cause. Your post implied that the sole reason a well-educated and industrial nation like the Germans were murdering Jewish doctors, lawyers, scientists, and technicians because they were considered "genetically inferior." That contention fails the test of simple logic.

Contrary to what you say there's no real consensus on why Hitler was so intent on their annihilation.

Of course not. Between Jewish victimhood and neo-NAZI apologists there never could be a consensus. There is more distorted information over this history than there is anything else (whether by commission or omission), scholarly research consisting mostly of work somebody will fund. It's easy to select facts to support a position. It's even easier to omit them, whether by intent or selective blindness.

That's enough for today. I have to help prepare our facility for a bar mitzvah.

" Name calling already? "

'Jerk' is an appropriate word for people who are sarcastic with no reason. Your sarcasm was totally uncalled for. As I mentioned before, I didn't ignore any data you linked; there wasn't any data in that link about why Hitler wanted to wipe the Jews off the face of the earth.

"Your post implied that the sole reason a well-educated and industrial nation like the Germans were murdering Jewish doctors, lawyers, scientists, and technicians because they were considered "genetically inferior."

No, I implied no such thing. As I mentioned, Hitler specifically wanted to exterminate the Jews for some unknown reason.

I have better things to do than banter back and forth with you when you aren't even reading what I wrote.
