And it’s not even the only nazi apologia in the thread. In fact, as i write this, there’s mainly nazi apologia there.
EDIT: some worst posts including the one about Natives got purged by a mod.

They dragged Jews from their homes and gathered them in public places before deporting them. They did this in the open, in broad daylight. They had them standing there in parks surrounded by dense urban housing. They checked everyone walking in the vicinity and grabbed any Jew that happened to wander to close. They seperated the men before deportation from the women and children. The commotion and wailing must have been loud. The cruelty plainly visible. In the midst of densely populated cities like Munich, Berlin, Hamburg.
Even my greatgrandpa in some Podunk Swabian village knew. He went to Poland as a teacher, fervent Nazi and came back shook while the eastern front was still advancing. Saying “we will pay for this dearly, everyone of us”. Still sent his daughter to the Napola the coward.
Everyone knew. There is no excuse.
The same applies to the people making excuses for these crimes today.
There was also, as you surely know, some level of public killing towards the end, babies dashed on walls, disabled people thrown from windows, etc. There was a huge level of violence even in the observable background of public life, though magnitudes less than in the camps, of course.
