        Just at Treblinka alone the Nazis murdered 900,000 over a span of 18 months. The camp was staffed at any one time by 25 German officers and soldiers and 100 local workers. Almost all of the victims were murdered with the exhaust from a single tank engine. Other camps were generally much larger-scale operations because the Nazis were trying to extract useful work from their victims before murdering them; Treblinka was purely for mass murder.

        Anyone who thinks the Nazis couldn’t have murdered a lot more people than they did if they had a little more time is misinformed.

        Yes, which is exactly what I said would happen here. History is useful in that way.
