A lot died of starvation and disease . When the Russians pushed west into Poland the Germans left the prisoners in a bad state . There is no denying that the SS were killing off huge numbers using Zyclon B (cyanide) in the so called shower blocks . As i said earlier , most of these were elderly , women and children . Most able men were used as slave labor at the likes of IG Farben and other companies that today are respectable companies .
Poor old ninelives believes that Hitler had a thought bubble in 1939 that he would kill them all - not so . Tried to explain to nine tails that logistically the movement of Jews into Eastern Europe was uncontrolled to the point where they could not sustain the numbers coming through . The only thing that was well controlled was the rail movements (Eichman)
