>>130977>Nazis were über racist and hated every other raceLol no. Pic related, and go fucking actually read Chapter 5 of Mein Kampf, where he talks about race and where ever jew to points at racism. Praising the Japs and Chinese is hardly evil, and neither is acknowledging race.
Pic related.
>>13101470,000 people died, legally, under the only involuntary euthanasia program in Nazi Germany. This action, Aktion T4, was active from 1939 till it's shutdown in 1941, after protests. Yes, that's right, protests, during war time, in Nazi Germany. Maike Rotzoll attributes this policy coming to fruition by the wet dreams of geneticists, who after achieving relative political power were able to implement such a policy. Furthermore, any other case of euthinasia had to be either authorized by the patient, or the "Next mentally capable guardian".
Now, pay attention to the fact that even considering these high numbers, the people that were killed under T4 had to be"deemed incurably sick, after most critical medical examination" and only then could they be administered a Gnadentod, or Mercy Death, which explains the intention of this policy. The people who wrote it up intended it to be used to deal with the mentally disabled, yet through court scrutiny it ended up being implemented almost in the same way legal euthanasia is implemented in the Netherlands today, minus the fact that only the physician had the final word, rather than whatever guardian they had. Brain dead patients were laid to rest under this practice. Completely mentally incapable people were laid to rest under the program. So, while many believe this to be unethical because of consent (including within the nazi party), in reality it ended up being more grey than that. Extreme racialists wanted it for purity. The program got through because the other interpretation was "good enough." That it happened to be used for ideological reasons as well as practical ones should surprise nobody.
Plus, it has to be said that Hitler personally never authorized the program. Philipp Bouhler did, who was a Reichsleiter. Every single source I have found "Linking to Hitler" saying that it was ordered by him, often don't. Many (((historians))) like those at Yad Vashem say that Bouhler did it under order of Hitler, but the links are dubious. The Bundesarchiv artikel over the Euthanasie im Dritten Reich does't even mention Hitler, and all the documents that it's based on come form Bouhler, yet it's a prime source that even wikipedia uses to ascribe the crime to the higher power. While it's certainly possible that Hitler authorized it, it's also equally as possible that he wanted nothing to do with it, as he often preferred to do on issues regarding racialism, the ill, and any kind of killings whatsoever. Another common source from Michael D. Miller, is also dubious, as he simply outright claims it in his book, Leaders of the SS and German Police, Vol. 1 (2006), which is why you don't source modern books that don't know what they're talking about.
Therefore, I invite you to link me to definite proof that Hitler personally had anything to do with T4, and then after that go bring it to David Irving to redeem a thousand dollar prize for proving Hitler had anything to do with the killings of innocents in Nazi Germany.
The next thing I will dispute is the source of 300,000 dead. Official records that currently reside in the Bundesarchiv list 70,000 recorded dead, which may not be inclusive, but after 41 the program was "officially" halted. So while the claim exists that these rest died after the program "ended" this was carried out outside of legal precedent, and the numbers therein are so disputed it's hard to get anything straight. One french historian lists 200,000 dead foreigners. Most (((mainstream))) historians list this number closer to 100,000, instead focusing on more interior killings (read: jews) that might've been killed after the program. So, when articles claim that there's "Around 300,000" dead, it's quite disputed even within their own circles, leading to most articles not having a solid source with any evidence, instead relying on the conjecture of what a general consensus might be. However, they rely on that, and then don't give a damn source to how they even came to that consensus! Every bloody "Historian" seems to have a different idea on how many died, and once again, a large portion leading these claims came at one point in their life under Yad Vashem. What a odd (((coincidence.)))
