Spike 5,107 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Controversial topic but sometimes I wonder how many Jews the Nazi did kill, I mean there are so many conflicting sources, some say 4mil, others say 6mil. I wonder if the number is inflated so Nazi officers would look better to their superiors. Somebody did the maths once and it turns out over six years the Nazis would have to have killed a Jew every 1.9 minutes or something ridiculous to get to 6mil. History is very fascinating and it's quite interesting how it changes because people to believe it to be so. Look at how a comic in England changed history's perception of Napoleon, he wasn't actually short but thanks to poor conversion from French to English it's popular culture that he was a midget.

Devil-Dick Willie 3,254 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 The actual figure is probably closer to 2-3 mil. Horrific either way, genocide is genocide and I don't know why it's been inflated. But yes, many many issues concerning time and man power if it were 6 mil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Throughout history the only thing for sure is that the country(s) that lose in the war, are made to look much worse in the history books. Not saying this is the case here, but it's always important to keep an open mind and not always believe what you hear or see on the internet. On a side note, I have a good buddy in my neighborhood. He's probably 70 or so and an absolute great guy, and Jewish. I was able to meet his mother-in-law who is a Holocaust survivor. Having never met one before, I was floored and will always think of her whenever I think that my life sucks. What an amazing woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If six million people were exterminated it can't be proven if they were all Jews as well. Could have just as easily rounded up some poor Polish villager to make up numbers or by mistake.

Devil-Dick Willie 3,254 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hungarian grandfather was in the army, and he reckoned it's not much like history tells it. Take that with 10 pinches of salt though as he hated the jews and communists and was cheering when he got to invade Russia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toinho 2,210 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) How many people are aware of the genocide of Germans after world war 2? The Savage Peace is a great documentary that tells and shows of the revenge parts of Europe undertook after the war ended.

Guest Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Began to look for a radio job. I'm expecting to get rejected by most if not all but with my experience its certainly possible. I know a few people still students who have gotten those sort of jobs near my age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco 3,008 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Man, I am absolutely exhausted. Had my 2 tennis match in as many days yesterday. Have another one today before I can take a couple of days off. I can't seem to get the house clean or ready for the return of my wife since so much tennis is taking so much out of me. My match on Tuesday took 3.5 hours, and last night took just under 3. I'm on pace to play 10 hours of competitive tennis in the span of 3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
