.........I think I could take responsibility for my suggestion to have cases of open tuberculosis exterminated among the Polish race herein the Warthegau".
Why the use of alleged coded language for the Jews when the Germans talk openly of extermination for the Poles? Is this not discrimination?
One reason we'd like access to the entire German text of the letter is to check which word is used for exterminate.
Berlin SW 11, Prinz Albrecht Street 8.
1. Special treatment of the seriously ill persons.
For the planning, attention must be paid to different points of view of a practical, political, and psychological nature. Considering it most soberly, the simplest way would be the following: Aided by the X-ray battalion we could reach the entire population, German and Polish, of the Gau during the first half of 1943, As to the Germans, the treatment and isolation are to be prepared and carried out according to the regulations of tuberculosis relief. The approximately 35,000 Poles who are incurable and infectious will be "specially treated." All other Polish consumptives will be subjected to an appropriate cure in order to save them for work and to avoid their causing contagion.
According to your request I made arrangements with the offices in question, in order to start and carry out this radical procedure within half a year. You told me that the competent office agreed with you as to this "special treatment" and promised support. Before we definitely start the program, I think it would be correct if you would make sure once more that the Fuehrer will really agree to such a solution.
Whether Dr. Butz was aware of these relevant documents when he wrote his book, we shall have to ask him.
Since we only have alleged English 'translations' and no original German documents shown, and since we know that the alleged mass murder weapon and alleged body disposal are simply laughable and scientifically impossible as alleged, we then have much ado about nothing. There is no evidence to support the intended conclusions of these bogus documents....which is so typical of the 'holocau$t' as alleged.
What, if anything, does Ms. Weckert have to say about this group of documents in her article?
Weckert doesn't address those necessarily fraudulent 'documents' (there is no need to) which we have never seen any German originals.
Hebden wrote: What do you make of it? What does Ms. Weckert make of it, if anything?
Ingrid Weckert lives in Germany and denying or belittling the accepted "Holocaust" story would not be very healthy for her as a historian.
Her essay is a summary of the findings of well known historians, the trials and the two books Nationalsozialistische Massentötungen duch Giftgas and NS-Vernichtungslager about the camp Chelmno.
Neither Weckert, nor any one of those two books mention this letter by Greiser.
"ausmerzen" stands for stamp out, weed out, wipe out. In this context it could have meant "ethnic cleansing".
About "Sonderbehandlung" of Poles with open tuberculosis, I have no doubt that it meant in this context euthanasia, mercy killing through lethal injections.
The question is: Was it done?
Out of interest, have you read her book on Kristallnacht?
Perhaps the idea of including Polish Gentiles in the scope of the Holocaust didn't appeal to the authors of these books. Otherwise, people might start asking why Pope Pius XII didn't take a public stance against the Nazis for mass murdering his fellow Catholics. Inevitably this would lead to charges that Hitler's Pope was - wait for it - anti-Catholic.
True. In that sense this letter doesn't take us much further than the Korherr Report which indicated that 145,000 Jews had been filtered through the camp(s) in the Warthegau in the direction of the Russian East.
Therein lies the letter's particular significance. The apparent connection between Jewish Sonderbehandlung and that envisaged for tubercular Poles.
Pope Pius XII never took a public stance because there was no evidence from which to take a 'public stance'. It comes down to evidence, not received propaganda. Hebden has presented no evidence.
Once again the German original of this 'letter' has never been shown, revealing. Until that time it's fair to say that it doesn't exist, or we would see it.
the connection to 'sonderbehandlung' and mass murder of Jews cannot be established and there is no evidence to support such an assertion.
