3. So....where are the bodies of the Nazis' victims?
This is where we get into the history that is less than common knowledge.
The Nazis called it "Aktion 1005."
The Nazis knew what they had done was indefensible, and knowledge of same would cost them any possible leverage when they lost the war....so, they tried to wipe out the evidence of their crimes.
a. " “It seems that rumors of our activities in the east have started to reach the ears of our enemies. We’ve also got a problem with one of the sites in the Warthegau region. Complaints about contamination of some kind.”
“If I may ask the obvious question, Herr Gruppenführer, what difference does it make if rumors reach the West? Who would believe that such a thing was truly possible?”
“Rumors are one thing, Erich. Evidence is quite another.”
From the novel "A Death in Vienna," by Daniel Silva
" Operation 1005 was instituted by the Nazis to wipe out the traces of the mass murders they had perpetrated in Eastern and Central Europe. It began in mid-1942, when information concerning the mass slaughter of Jews and others by the Nazis first began to circulate in the West, and ended with the last days of the occupation .
.... units of Einsatzkommando 1005 were established in various geographical locations These units consisted of SiPO–SD members who organized and directed the operation, scores of German police guards and hundreds of slave laborers, mostly Jews,....
Because this operation was to be ‘Top Secret,' Berlin ordered that the slave laborers were to be murdered after the completion of the work in the area, and the German staff, who were sworn to secrecy, were not sent back to their units. As a result of this operation many mass graves were obliterated, making it impossible after the war to ascertain the exact extent of the Nazi crimes, especially in the Soviet Union and Poland."
AKTION 1005 EFFACING THE MURDER OF MILLIONS
I don't believe that for a minute.

You can quote me whatever you want, I do not believe in the gas chambers , or the digging up of mass graves at Babi Yar, to burn the bodies. I guess if there are no bodies one must make up a story right.
What you really believe is evident.
And it's not pretty.
War is never pretty is it, esp. when they say 65 to 85 mil were killed.
