Undeserved reply to CJ on population statistics

Goebbels is very clear in my opinion in his diary, after they crossed the Reich they did not care much about what would happen to them, that is, the primary objective was to get them out of the Reich so as not to cause disturbances and acts of internal sabotage, if they also got ready in the east they would be shot as many were, I do not deny, but the objective was not to contaminate German society with their agitations and black market.

The Wannsee Conference attendees discussed resettlement, at the same time as the minutes recorded huge drops in the Jewish population in the east. How do you explain that? Resettlement in the east should have meant a rise in the Jewish population.

Lebensraum was the policy to seize land in the east for Germans, primarily to farm. If Jews would "contaminate German society" and the plan was for an expanded German society in the east, why would they resettle millions of Jews there?

I don't know of any decline in the Jewish population in the East. They counted 5 million Jews in the USSR, although the 1939 census listed 3 million. Perhaps they considered the annexations of 1939-40.

The final solution was only a single step: first, concentrate Jews in the East and then decide what to do with them after the war. This aligns with what Hitler said at the height of the supposed extermination, a major contradiction. One of the drafts of Generalplan Ost involved settling between 5 and 6 million Jews in the Urals. A large portion of Soviet Jews fled to the Russian interior. Perhaps this is where the suspicion of a decline in the number of Jews in the East stems.

Wannsee Minutes, January 1942;

"Estonia - free of Jews -
Latvia 3,500
Lithuania 34,000"

The Jewish populations were Estonia; 1000, Latvia; 93,000 and Lithuania; 210,000. That is a huge drop, when you suggest resettlement was taking place, which would mean population rises. Also from January 1942, was this map, showing the number of Jews killed by the Einsatzgruppen;



The east was being cleared of Jews, which is at odds with claims it was being used for resettlement. No wonder, with all of that evidence, you have been dodging answering my questions.

Are you talking about this evidence here:

Here comes that talk again about the Jäger Report, reports of this, reports of that. The only thing these reports don't say is where the bodies and remains ended up.

No one believes the German reports of German massacres at the hands of Poles, but they do believe in the existence of a genocide they were supposedly hiding even from themselves.

Stahlecker's report (and others) claim Estonia was 'Judenfrei' as of the beginning of 1942. But this is evidence that 'Judenfrei' wasn't about the entire territory being absolutely cleared of all Jews. In fact, labor camps for Jews (which were not the focus of the Einsatzgruppen since these Jews were already imprisoned and, hence, not a security threat which was EG's focus) remained open, filled with Jews. Here's one that remained open another two years (at least -- Dec 1943 is merely a 'last mention'), where Jewish women worked at a shipyard for the company Phillip Holzmann AG:

Reval (Tallinn)

Area: East Iceland Convention General District

Opening: December 1942

Closing date: December 1943

Deportations:

Inmates:

Gender: women

Deployment of prisoners at: Philipp Holzmann AG

Type of work: work at the shipyard

The Einsatzgruppen (hence, Stahlecker), had an administrative focus that excluded Jews already fully "under wraps". This is apparently true across the areas which EG was active.

Regarding the infamous 'Stahlecker map', I have myself counted four different versions of it online. More discussion here: https://archive.codohforum.com/20230609 ... 404#p93517

Correction: this camp opened in December 1942, then remained open for at least one year. In other words: Jews were being brought into Estonia, long after Estonia was supposed to be 'Judenfrei'.

Yet again, you dodge my point that the attendees at Wannsee discuss resettlement in the east, at the same time as they record huge drops in the Jewish population in the east. That means resettlement was not the actual plan.

That fits with the Wannsee plan of making the east Jew free, using some Jews as labourers until they die and ridding the rest with supposed "resettlement", a bizarre form of resettlement that somehow involved a drop in the population, so it was really mass killing, as reported by the EG.
