Ever wonder where Hitler got the idea it was all right to be racist, commit genocide, and try to take over the world? Look no farther than the glorious British Empire! Excuse me, but to compare the war we fought against the Zulus to the concentration camps is an unwarranted slur. Given the fact that our brave lads, a quarter of our army, are about to go into battle at your side, one would expect you to be a little more polite.
Do try.

The Zulu war no, the Boer war yes.

A much better comparison would be the Anglo-Boer war. I think in that war, the British did kill about 30 thousand dutch settlers in concentration camps. But it the Zulu wars it was basically a military affair.
