Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Do you mean under Nazi tutelage!? And do you include the "Death Camps", located primarily in Czechoslovakia and Poland (none in metropolitan German or the Greater Reich)!? "Concentration Camps"
and "work camps" were originally part of a distorted and depraved but basically fairly open penal system!.!.!.and I mean "open" only by totalitarian standards of the time!. Places like Buchenwald and Dachau and hundreds of satellite camps actually had people released in the course of events, albeit they were ugly and brutal!. The Death Camps and some of the "special action facilities" NOBODY intentionally got out alive!. Concentration camps: maybe a million taken in, of which about half seem to have disappeared!. Work camps: about the same, but there is some overlap with the preceding!. Death camps: Maybe 10-12 million!. Eichmann boasted of killing six million jews, but of course, the camps also killed gypsies, suspicious slavs (ALL slavs were "suspicious", but the intelligentsia were especially so), homosexuals, "politicals" (anyone thought to be Hitler's enemy, for any reason), Jehovah's Witnesses and other religious types who refused to submit to the total power of the German state, socialists, liberals, writers who wrote favorably of Jews, Jews active in World War I organizations, and anyone ELSE the local party disliked or found unattractive!. It was a profit-making, criminal system!. And the very fact that the death camps were not on German or Austrian soil
for very specific reasons of later "plausible deniability" and because it was easier to suppress information reminds me of some recent activities of another powerful nation!. All the numbers are estimates, and I am SURE I have left some institutions off!. Most digusting "factoid": for all the talk about "purity", "loyalty", and the
"cleansing of society", much of the real motive of the S!.S!./S!.D!. machinery was sheer, pure capitalist PROFIT!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
