Nasty Germany in 30s without AH [Digest urth.v030.n163]

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I can easily accept that a non AH Germany would be nationalistic
and anti-Semetic; I find it hard to believe that it would be so
impractically idealistic as to do more than rob and mistreat=20
worker-units of the low-status groups; that would be a waste of
good worker-units.  Devoting precious rail-transport bandwidth and
army/police time to extermination just weakens the State.

As many have observed, the Soviet Union is the obvious example
of how a natioanlistic, totalitarian, anti-Semitic country
treats its Jews and Gypsies if the Leader isn't an idealist:
it's not nice, but it's not a Holocaust.
