Conceded by some orthodox/antirevisionist historians but kept vastly concealed from the public for deception purposes, just like with the falsely captioned pics of typhus mass graves and the silence of orthodox/mainstream historians on that misleading trick.
Such an admission would have been a dumb and nonsensical political strategy anyway. Liars, real liars, don't warn their victims and future victims about themselves and their dirty tricks. For obvious reasons.

IMO, the economic side of globalization is publicized and used to conceal the political-religious side of the Globalist enterprise, just like it is in the EU district of Jewry's global plantation. More a distracting sideshow than anything else if I'm asked.
....
As far as EU/Globomania are concerned: One could also argue that the publico-political shenanigans are just a distraction from the real corporate and power politics there. People can talk about immigration, 'racism', Holocaust or how many genders there are in the end this doesn't really change the power structure in the US, Germany or Australia. But on the other hand. Certain aspects of the public debate are about more than distraction. They are about controlling interpretation power within society. That's the case with the Holocaust.
What it does is the following:
* It paints 'Nazis', a stand-in for Germans (or even Christians) as demonized enemies.
* Portraying Jews as victims, followed by Communists, Moochers, Criminals, Homosexuals, Gypsies, etc.
* Those that 'fight the Nazis' can earn a 'hero'-role or this is put up as an expectation to them.
'Nazis' are of course nationalists and hence 'enemies of globalization'. They are also 'enemies of democracy', 'tolerance' and 'diversity'. If someone disagrees with the 'political mores', call him a 'Nazi'. Attacks against such people are then justified or 'not as bad'. That intimidation tactic works and compels people into compliance with the advertised 'political mores'. All kinds of would be losers feel encouraged to 'play heroes'. Not necessary with maximum aggression, but by acting nasty against those that deviate from the 'political mores' in some way.
Just analyze the socio-political structure of various countries and the various characters you find therein. The mass is of course middle or working class people nowadays. Differences are there in income and education. They'd work 8 hour/day job and participate in social life in some way. They probably have kids, likely on school or the kids left the home already and are now doing something similar their parents did. But there is also subdivision in this, strongly dependent who or what they work for. E.g. they may work for private companies (commerce, industry, crafts) or for government or for 'ngo's. I count teachers and academics as government workers. While churches, trade unions, pressure groups are ngo's. Within those you'd find different characters as well. Those that are just compliant, but also enforcers of 'political mores'. Those enforcers will act once one of the otherwise compliant people dances to far out of line with comments, questions or remarks. If he doesn't shut up, they will get aggressive. The work people do, what they learned/studied has influence on how they think about political views as well. It deals with how they think, what they are exposed to and what their interests are. An engineer is likely to think more logical and in terms of feasibility. He will talk more with people that reason similar of things. And his interest is earning incomes from medium sized companies as well as 'good industry' locally or having international clients. So there can be splits within interest as well. And they may 'rationalize what is based for them'. People are more prone to be particulists (The "me") than being holists (the 'us')... But there is still some realization that things need to be balanced in some way. That is with folks that are still ordinary in some degree. There is of course characters that function a little different. Even people with malice, which actually are often experts in camouflaging this. As for the internationalization/globalization people are often divided on this (unless there world view has certain dictates of course). On the one hand people would like to travel and trade with anybody, on the other hand they don't like competition and becoming the dumping ground for trashy people of other countries. They also would like to have a say on what happens IN THEIR communities. And that should be in line with their norms, mores, values, preferences. So there is conflict potential in this. What you want and what you get can be totally different things in many cases. And it can become rather unpleasant. The bigger the a political unit is, the bigger the power of those calling the shots in it, but also the smaller the say each citizen type member would have in it. Being able to influence political decisions via media and organization also depends on the resources a person or group does have. So with more internationalization/globalization the power of the individual will diminish. The power of governments will increase and with that the power of corporations, NGOs, mass-media and a number of other institutions will increase. So it would be more logical to be a nationalist/regionalist/federalist than a globalist/internationalist. But while the argument is simple, people struggle to think that way.
Another issue is the question of ethnicity. What type of society is better...? One that is ethnically unified or one that is 'diverse', 'multicultural' or whatever the buzz-word is that is envogue at the moment.
If society has a common value system among its individuals, it is more self-managed internally. Meaning that conflicts are either easily resolved or don't even come up at all. If the social mores are healthy this society will thrive without being a tyranny, at all.
On the other hand, if it is more 'diverse' ethnically one will either have segmentation in accordance with groups or the norms/mores will simply blur and become more unclear and uncertain. At first this may look like 'anything goes now'. But conflicts and higher criminality, corruption etc. are preprogrammed. The crisis mode will create demand for more intervention and actually dissatisfied people are also more 'eager customers', which they use as a substitute for happiness. That's exactly what power-hungry people want. Except for the economic and political side, there is a ideological-religious side to this as well. Concerning world view anything needs to be turned on its head. And this idea comes a long way. One could literally start on this with 'Adam and Eve'. But the starting point in the modern era, came with the enlightenment and phenomena like the French revolution. The slogans there were 'egalite' and it was directed against the monarchy and the organic order of society, which was the guiding idea for the feudal order. The feudal order was tri-functional (Oratores-Bellatores-Laboratores) and accepted the necessity for hierarchy and 'personal rights' and rules. The replacement ideas were 'freedom-quality-brotherhood' As well as a state with legislative-executive-juridical powers. The 'rights-of-man' were what was offered, as well. While the French Revolution collapsed quickly, the ideas of course persisted. As a response the restauration and romanticism came up. But with industrialization and capitalism, the progressive era emerged. This is where Marxism developed, which tried to use the workers as a 'revolutionary class'. Ironically the break-through was in Russia, which was less-industrialized than the Western European Nations, where the Marxists expected the Revolution to break through. With the idea of "World Revolution", the Marxists were also the first of the political movements to have a type of 'globalist vision'. It was however not unique to them. Clearly the Colonial Empires had some sort of global vision as well...although this was still tied to a nation state. A 'motherland' with dependent territories overseas. Great Britain and France being the primary examples there, with the Spanish empire having declined already and the Portuguese still struggling on. The Dutch empire was ones a bit bigger, but pieces were swallowed by the British during the Napoleonic era. Germany only came later to this, probably in an attempt to copy the others. First World War was a turning point in this. The Central powers caved in. The 'Russian' Revolution ended with the first Communist Regime. And the 'League of Nations' being the first attempt to 'bring all the Nations together'. It was followed by 'cultural change' as well. With Weimar Republic Germany perhaps being a primary example to the dismay of the majority of Germans (not only National Socialists). That of course lead to a reaction, with Hitler establishing National Socialism in Germany. This was meant to become an alternative to both Communism and 'Liberal Democracies' (Plutocracy) alike. It copied Fascism a bit in this. The social, but especially the economics policies that cut out the power of international banks was certainly not to the liking of International Bankers, who realized they would lose opportunities of maximized profits, if other countries started copying the model. Of course this wasn't said explicitly, since this would have exposed the ruse. So they went for 'racial' and 'religious' persecution. And claimed that the 'Third Reich' was 'repressive', since they put their opposition into concentration camps. The Jew-Card was however played up more than others it seems. Followed by claiming that "Hitler persecuted Christians", because some of the 'Confessing Church' people were detained as well. The later matter is however more complicated then presented nowadays, as are many others. The confessing church was initially not about 'worldly politics', but about some Protestants trying to change the churches teachings in line with some ideas of the day. But it quickly turned to a substitute platform for those that had some beef with National-Socialism. I'd guess many Protestant clerics were a bit concerned that e.g. Youth-Work was taken over by the Hitler Youth for example. Not to mention that Hitler had enthusiastic followers, while they didn't have really that many. Martin Niemoeller was a NSDAP voter himself, but had some beef with the "German Christians". Some of the quarrels were rather petty, but usually some of the more 'extreme' statements by outliers among the 'German Christians' are taken (to misrepresent the movement). More pronounced was the Swiss Reformed Theologian Karl Barth, who turns out to be a Marxist, Stalin-fan and pretty much a war-monger against Germany. Dietrich Bonhoeffer played a junior role there. But he's perhaps the best known figure connected to the "confessing church". The rest of the theologians, pastors that were members isn't really that well known. Guess they were less extreme (politically and theologically) than Barth and Bonhoeffer were. Niemoeller wasn't that extreme neither, but I think he was pretty naive and pliable to conform with what Barth wanted. E.g. the Stuttgarter Schulderklaerung. And Niemoeller winning (and accepting) prices from communist countries (for his 'peace' efforts). One saying ascribed to him was the "First they came for the Communists..." (Bet you they did, but guess why?).
The Post-WW2 German Protestant Church's conditions probably explain a lot about the condition in which Germany was after WW2. It seems as if they have been the main target 'to be sunk' via gas lighting. But there were many within that church's leadership strata that grasped the issues only to willing. I sense there was some sort of a 'generational struggle'. With your older pastors/theologians virtually all being in the Wehrmacht or NS-organization (and having a different POV on what happened), while the younger ones were indoctrinated from early on. There was of course some leftists among the older ones already and opportunistically this was a way to sustain their positions within the church. With millions of people mourning the situation is ideal to 'do a view changes' in the teachings and attitudes of the Protestant Churches of Germany.
They once were pro folk and nation, pro family, pro civic duty including military duties, pro 'protestant ethics', if you want. But that was over 70 years ago it seems... It changed slowly of course. The NS-debate, than the pacifism, later the 'social justice' issues and the anti-authoritarianism, Once the Holocaust rolled over the rails the pro-national stance was deconstructed and finally turned into the opposite. A bit close to home were the 'sex-related' issue. And well. They approve of homosexuality now as a 'normal life-style' in fact virtue-signal with rants against 'homophobia'. I wonder, when it is the turn for pedophilia/zoophilia in this regard. In that light it is refreshing that they lost half their members since WW2. But this is of course for a broad spectrum of reason. Their pesky behavior to indoctrinate people with foolish ideas is of course one big reasons, they will never admit. They blame it on 'the church not being modern enough'. But it is exactly the post-modernism and watered down messages that pisses people off. There is some Israel-fetishism with the mainline Protestants, but it not like the 'Christian Zionism' in the US. There is some of this with the 'free churches', though. They are Baptists so there may have been some connection to the US.
On the other hand. The government in Germany deals out money so 'freely' to Israel, don't think there is lots of need for 'Christian Zionism'. Those (Christians) that call out 'Christian Zionism' in Germany are a small minority, but they do exist. And get lots of bad rap from MS-media as well as the 'big churchlings'.
