alleged Zyklon-B use for mass murder made no sense

[Hannover]

Hebden states:

Yes, shooting thousands of people in the holding camps of Drancy, Westerbork etc. wouldn't have drawn any attention at all.

Placing Jews in any such camp and then shooting them would make as little sense as transporting them great distances just to be gassed. Why go to the bother to put them in camps of any kind if murder is the plan?
That sort of pretzel logic just won't do.

Placing Jews in camps in order to make selections and killing those not needed to work is what you suggested would make more sense than transporting them across Europe.

Now you seem to suggest that shooting them in their homes would save even that trouble.

Hebden, you have not told the truth, you said:

Placing Jews in camps in order to make selections and killing those not needed to work is what you suggested would make more sense than transporting them across Europe.

What I really said was:

Why transport Jews thousands of miles just to 'exterminate' them'? The alleged 'selections' for work could have been done prior to transport, the remaining 'unfit' Jews could simply be shot with 1 cent bullets.

As anyone can see, I said nothing about putting Jews in camps for selections and/or killing. You have not told the truth.

But then you, Hebden, compound your problem with:

Now you seem to suggest that shooting them in their homes would save even that trouble.

As is becoming the norm here, you again did not tell the truth again. I said nothing about shooting Jews in their homes. I simply pointed out the alleged absurdity of shipping Jews great distances, or even short distances, to camps just to kill them.

Strawmen and 'untruths' from you, Hebden; not the sort of behavior from one in the know. Please cease.

Tell us where then, according to your scenario, these unfit Jews would have been shot?

That's a challenge, so no dodging or the Moderator will have to kick you off this thread.

Oh dear, we seem to be coming under friendly fire.

[Hannover]

Oh, that's easy. There was no policy to shoot those deemed unfit for labor.

Speaking of guidelines, we are way off topic here. Please start a new thread if you wish to pursue this.
