“You know, Germany, look, they put themselves into a position in, Adolf Hitler’s chiefly responsible for this, but his whole regime is responsible for it, that when they went into the east in 1941, they launched a war where they were completely unprepared to deal with the millions and millions of prisoners of war, of local political prisoners, and so forth that they were going to have to handle. They went in with no plan for that and they just threw these people into camps. And millions of people ended up dead there.”

Apart from the blatant Holocaust denial, it's interesting that he completely discards the attack on Poland and puts the start of the war in 1941 when they invaded Russia.

Yeah, TBF

"And millions of people ended up dead there.”

is pretty disingenuous too. They ended up dead because they were systematically murdered. Plus they mostly weren't prisoners of war, it was a targeted genocide.

Apparently, when they were "reunifying" German lands, it was ok. Somehow, that wasn't "conquest." I was also struck by the two years of war that didn't enter the tabulations.

I think every piece of history written by a confederate or a nazi should have to have that perspective in the title.

What is a 'popular historian' and does such a person have any credibility at all?
