The Nazi's were monsters. What are reading that says 95% of the German atrocities never happened? That's nuts. Let me guess, was it David Duke?

Hey, AE. Do you have any links to cites which would support your statements? I'm finding hard to believe that fighting against the Nazis was a mistake. However, I agree with Patton that as long as we were over there, we might as well take down the Soviets. In his words, "We're going to fight them someday."

My understanding is that Xylene gas was cost prohibited and just not available. Shortly after the Nazis just ran a exhaust hose from a diesel truck engine to like a shipping container. Jump to the next paragraph if you are squeamish. The account I read on this was from the Jewish survivors whose job it was to pull out the bodies. The babies and small children were always on the bottom. Then the elderly, then the women and at the top where the men. It was simply a fight to get the last gulp of oxygen.
We were forced to sit thru Nazi atrocity films in Parochial school. That stays with you forever. Also, a guy I work with father is a Holocaust survivor and gives inspiring speeches throughout the area.
I don't think Bill Clinton is a total madman. He is a narcissist with many flaws. Hitler was a total madman. Check out Frankl's "Man's Search For Meaning." Originally Posted by gnadfly

Ah, but it has.The claim of genocide is that 5 million Jews were rounded up from all over Europe and gased in death camps.
That IS genocide, and the actual number is much higher. Originally Posted by I B Hankering

Here's some real evidence.
After Steven Speilberg produced the fictional "Shindler's List" he produced a non-fiction film, "The Last Days."
Unfortunately after the film's release it turned out that most of the "survivors" in the film were liars. They were a small number of such liars who have made handsome livings out of fabricating tails of mass murders in the camps, consistent with the hoaxes of the Nuremberg trials.

After these "witnesses" were discredited Speilberg wanted to get to the truth of what really happend, so he endowed USC with millions of dollars to track down and record on film the testimony of as many living camp survivors as could be found.
This project, the "Shoah Project of USC" has provided for the first time an accurate account of what life was like in the camps, told by thousands of camp survivors instead of the handful of liars who are otherwise the only ones heard.
According to 99% of these survivors there was no mass killings. There were however hospitals, football leagues, theaters, and at Auschwitz even a swimming pool. All of this is totally consistent with what the International Red Cross found on their many visits to the camps.
BTW the IRC also cooperated with the CIA and the Vatican to help German "war criminals" escape from Europe.
Just because the public continues to believe these myths doesn't mean there's any evidence.
The public also believes that Stalin died from a stroke when he didn't [he was murdered in a coup on March 23, 1953]
The public also believes that Hitler died in a bunker and his body burned [Hitler and Martin Boorman escaped to Argentina and lived there for years with CIA assistance].
While Hitler and Boorman were safely in Argentina having children and eating bratwurst Hitler's chief intelligence officer, Reinhard Gehlen, was set up with his entire apperatus by the CIA as West Germany's new Intelligence Service. Gehlen and his group remained in control of all West German Intelligence until their respective retirements. Originally Posted by theaustinescorts
