This week Sparty discusses the start of a 100 day period of mass murder which sees more victims murdered than any other period of the Holocaust. Entire cities, communities, and regions are abducted, treated as if they are not even living being (let alone human beings) and murdered on a systematic and industrial scale never before seen in the history of human cruelty.

It is extremely difficult for the human mind to comprehend the scale of human suffering brought about during this time period. To even begin to understand just how much pain and horror was caused we need to look at it on a much smaller scale. Thank you for your continued support to allow us to remember these people in a way their murderers never treated them, as human beings.

Asia is not given equal time I hate having to use space bar to go to next line Ya a lot of ppl (around 6 to 7M were murdered by Germans and their allies) but we have no idea how many the Japs did in in Asia Some say as few as 3M other have the # at 50M It is my opinion that it was some where around 30M Yet we westerners still think of only Europa.

I both look forward to and fear each new episode of WAH.

Sparty, I wonder, how much manpower was spent by the Nazi's on these atrocities, and do you believe that if the Axis had instead used all of it's manpower and capital on building supply lines to the eastern front that it could have made a difference considering the problems Fall Blau is facing as this was occuring

The use of the photos and names as ages really hit me hard. Normally I listen to this and other TGH and TGW videos as though they were podcasts while I drive. So perhaps the names, ages and pictures isn’t new. But I’ve seen it for the first time today and it hit in the same way ww1 in colour hit me. No longer is it just black and white pictures on a screen. It’s a person, it’s a person I’m watching breath their last painful breath. Same here. No longer is it 6 million Jews and another 6-11million others. It’s Hanna aged 30. I was initially going to ask why it slowed down, I would have thought these things have their own momentum and once it hits peak performance it doesn’t slow until it is slowed. I was gonna ask why the 100 worst days happened so early. But frankly I’m grateful that it didn’t last 789 more days.

Are you seriously asking why Europeans are focused on European events?? Probably the same reason I as an Australian of English decent focus more on the war in Singapore and png than on what happened at Kiev. Because it directly relates to me. My relatives endured that. That being said Spartacus Olsen Astrid, and Indy give a near live version of coverage, so consider that there are 2 very reasonable reasons not much was covered in Asia this week. 1. The Chinese and Japanese may not have kept detailed recordings of things. Certainly the Chinese given its divide between mao a s Cheng could mean that anything that makes either of them look bad in relation to atrocities (eg failure to launch a raid to prevent atrocities) would almost certainly be destroyed, add to that their records could well be inaccurate propaganda in of itself in an effort to shift blame for the very real atrocities committed by the Japanese to either nationalists or the communists. 2. The atrocities may not have happened yet or be in an all to brief interlude between atrocities and therefore Spartacus wouldn’t have a lot to report this week.

It is the best we can do to remember.

I think that the rate of killing in those 100 days has only recently been understood. Previously historians had considered that rate of killings of Tutsis in the Rwandan genocide had exceeded the Jewish Holocaust at its peak. Now however with more complete research into those dreadful 100 days in summer and autumn of 1942, it has been confirmed that humans have never been killed at such a fast rate ever before, for months on end. This record must stand remain forever, in every sense.

I think it may have had a lot to do Germany being both so close, and previously considered both cultured and civilized. This came as quite a shock to most Europeans. I'd say the old racial views of the Japanese and all Asians (The Yellow Peril idea) probably meant that most westerners never expected any better from them. I also suspect that the victims of the Nazis were better placed after the Second War to keep the memories of what the Nazis did alive and in the popular press. By contrast I'd say that with so very many of the victims being Chinese, the Communist takeover of China effectively shut off westerners interest in what the Japanese got up to. Certainly in Winnipeg, Canada we remembered for a while because The Winnipeg Grenadiers , a local infantry battalion, fought at Hong Kong and the vets and their families tried to keep the memories alive. Now that they're gone i think the knowledge will fade very quickly.

I really appreciate including the names and pictures of the victims. It is really important to hit home that these weren't just numbers being murdered.

ghostman

Japan committed unspeakable atrocities and the victims should never be forgotten but the nazis literally industrialized the murder of humans as efficiently as possible. This is why they get more coverage.

The usage of manpower was surprisingly low and efficient. The SS Cadre of most death camps numbered less than 100, at least in the Aktion Reinhard camps. With gaurding tasks and other "grunt work" being delegated to the Trawniki men recruited largely from Soviet POW Camps (Hiwis or "those willing to help"). Which meant they could be paid little to nothing compared to their SS counterparts. Auschwitz on the other hand had quite a few thousand germans at various posts or on standby in the vicinity to rapidly respond to internal or external threats.

A big strain on logistics did come in the way of Eichmann's train schedule. Especially later in the war, the ever ambitious Eichmann would sometimes divert needed Wehrmact supply trains in order to facillitate his Hungarian death trains efficient arrival to Auschwitz. Even during the annihilation of Army Group Center during Operation Bagration, Summer 1944.

Also, phases of the killing often reflected the military and political needs of the time. For example, during Reinhard the need to consider having "enough" food for the German people resulted in part to the deadliest period of the holocaust. At other points, labor shortages were an issue (after periods of major mass killing) and the need for slave labor were championed by Nazis such as Albert Speer.

Because as sad as it is to say, after this period. The holocaust was largely carried out. Most of the children and elderly had already been exterminated. With the exception of outlier nations like Hungary, partisan resistance, and the slave labor forces still clinging onto life within the ghettos and concentration camps of the occupied territories whose fate was simply postponed for now.

There may have been worse peaks of killing from the Mongol Invasions but no records exist.
