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

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 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. -John
