You've got over 20 posts in less than 24 hours and it seems like you are mostly just interested in hearing yourself talk. Nobody is interested in your unsupported opinions.
This thread does not meet the standards of the Debate board. Your next post had better be a serious effort to present serious arguments. If it isn't you will be banished to Quarantine.

Consider yourself warned.
Baseless opinions? In the other threads, I showed how Hitler caused the war that killed more Europeans than any other in history, but anyway, let’s get to the point. These are my arguments; here’s what I’d been writing a few days ago:
Heim ins Reich (“Home into the Reich”) was a real, large-scale Nazi resettlement program that started in 1939. The goal was to bring ethnic Germans—Volksdeutsche—living outside the Reich’s borders back into the expanded German territories, mainly the annexed parts of Poland like the Warthegau. These people came from the Baltic states, Volhynia, Galicia, Bessarabia, Bukovina, Romania, Yugoslavia, and parts of the Soviet Union.
The program was run by the Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle (VoMi) and the Reich Commissioner for the Strengthening of Germandom under Himmler. They organized transports, transit camps, racial screenings, naturalizations, and the assignment of farms and houses—often taken from Poles and Jews. Between 1939 and 1944 they moved hundreds of thousands of people (official figures run from about 600,000 to 870,000, with some estimates higher). We still have the paperwork: transport lists with names, naturalization files (the EWZ records covering more than two million individuals), farm-allocation lists, property inventories, camp records, and citizenship documents. These files are sitting in German, Polish, and American archives. The settlers got land, houses, jobs, and citizenship. Their descendants are still around, and there are postwar records of them.
Deniers claim the Jews deported to the East were “resettled” the same way. But look at the difference. For Heim ins Reich there is a mountain of ordinary bureaucratic paperwork—names, origins, destinations, house assignments, naturalizations, property lists, the works. For the Jews sent East there is nothing like it: no arrival lists at any destination settlements, no housing assignments, no ration cards for new colonies, no birth or marriage registers from those places, and no surviving communities that can describe life there. What we do have are documents that count those same people as “processed,” “specially treated,” or “liquidated”—the Höfle Telegram, the Korherr Report, and the rest.
The real question isn’t whether the two programs were similar. It’s this: why does a genuine mass resettlement of ethnic Germans leave behind hundreds of thousands of pages of routine administrative records, name lists, property assignments, and archives that still exist, while the supposed “resettlement” of more than a million Jews to the East left behind not a single arrival list at any concrete destination, not one housing record, not one surviving community, and not one internal SS report describing the running of those colonies?
1. If the Jews deported East were resettled the same way as the Volksdeutsche, where are the equivalent farm-assignment lists or housing-allocation lists that name who got which property?
2. Why do we have hundreds of thousands of individual naturalization cards and EWZ files for the ethnic German settlers, but not a single equivalent residency or citizenship file for any of the Jews supposedly resettled in the East?
3. How is it that the VoMi and RKFDV archives are full of detailed reports on transports, transit camps, property inventories, and final destinations for the Volksdeutsche, while the Jewish deportation files only contain documents that count people as “processed” or given “special treatment”?
4. Why did the Heim ins Reich settlers leave clear demographic traces—births, marriages, local censuses, and postwar communities—while the supposed Jewish settlements in the East left no census, no civil or church records, and not one surviving community?
5. If both were genuine resettlements, why do we have photographs, personal diaries, letters, and firsthand accounts from the Volksdeutsche describing their new farms and houses, while the only accounts from Jews deported East describe arrival at gas chambers and crematoria?
6. Where are the internal SS or civilian administration reports that detail the building of infrastructure, food supply, labor organization, or day-to-day running of the “Jewish colonies,” the way we have for the ethnic German settlements?
7. Why were the belongings of the resettled Volksdeutsche inventoried and in many cases compensated or transferred, while the property of the deported Jews was systematically looted under Aktion Reinhardt and shipped back to the Reich with no compensation and no record of delivery to any “settlers”?
8. If the Jews were resettled in the East, why do the Operation Reinhard and Auschwitz documents give exact arrival numbers that match the numbers of people murdered, not the numbers of people living in any actual settlements?
9. How is it that after 1945 tens of thousands of Heim ins Reich settlers and their children could be located and interviewed, while out of more than a million Jews “resettled” East not one single person has ever come forward to describe life in those settlements?
10. If the Jewish “resettlement” was real and comparable to Heim ins Reich, why did Himmler, Eichmann, Höss and the other officials who ran the deportations never produce a single internal document discussing the success or the administrative problems of those colonies, when they produced mountains of paperwork about the ethnic German resettlement?
