    I wouldn’t say it’s banal, though. It’s pretty aggressively evil. And you write about “eventually genocide”, when ethnic cleansing efforts are well underway already.

      For decades now, I’m been warning about the era of this regime, and got a lot of oh yeah? Where are the death camps?

      Dachau was operative in 1933. The Wannsee Conference was in 1942, after which the Auschwitz model was replicated at other camps, and the final solution to the Jewish question was applied to the general contained population, rather than just disabled, mentally ill and gays.

      So in the timeline of the German Reich, the death camps appeared rather late, and I tend to err on the side of understatement, even though officer involved killings, and punitive fatalities in US prisons have been routine for decades at a rate of ~1000/year
