решил почитать что же пишут об "окончательном решении".

и видим очень интересные ссылки на высокопоставленных нацистов того времени
After this decision, plans were made to put the Final Solution into effect. For example, on December 16, at a meeting of the officials of the General Government, Hans Frank referred to Hitler's speech as he described the coming annihilation of the Jews:
As for the Jews, well, I can tell you quite frankly that one way or another we have to put an end to them. The Führer once put it this way: if the combined forces of Judaism should again succeed in unleashing a world war, that would mean the end of the Jews in Europe. .... I urge you: Stand together with me ... on this idea at least: Save your sympathy for the German people alone. Don't waste it on anyone else in the world, . . . I would therefore be guided by the basic expectation that they are going to disappear. They have to be gotten rid of. At present I am involved in discussions aimed at having them moved away to the east. In January there is going to be an important meeting in Berlin to discuss this question. I am going to send State Secretary Dr. Buhler to this meeting. It is scheduled to take place in the offices of the RSHA in the presence of Obergruppenführer Heydrich. Whatever its outcome, a great Jewish emigration will commence. But what is going to happen to these Jews? Do you imagine there will be settlement villages for them in the Ostland? In Berlin we were told: Why are you making all this trouble for us? There is nothing we can do with them here in the Ostland or in the Reich Commissariat. Liquidate them yourselves! .... Here are 3.5 million Jews that we can't shoot, we can't poison. But there are some things we can do, and one way or another these measures will successfully lead to a liquidation. They are related to the measures under discussion with the Reich.... Where and how this will all take place will be a matter for offices that we will have to establish and operate here. I will report to you on their operation at the appropriate time.
это была ссылка на слова Адольфа Гитлера. смущает несколько "we can't shoot, we can't poison". Я понимаю эти слова как "вы там сами разберитесь, как их лучше извести, а как меня не волнует". Очень перекликается с пресловутым планом "Ост" в который FatCat не верит.
Что интересно, перед тем как перейти к плану физического уничтожения, предыдущий план был ... переселять евреев из Германии, "
The Madagascar plan". Но так как не сложилось (его собирались претворить в жизнь после падения Британии), то перешли к другим методам.
И еще интересная цитата:
SS chief Heinrich Himmler stated, "However cruel and tragic each individual case may be, this method is still the mildest and best, if one rejects the Bolshevik method of physical extermination of a people out of inner conviction as un-German and impossible."
Т.е. Гимлер назвал физическое уничтожение методом большевиков и неподходящим для немцев. Я право удивлен.
насчет идеи, выбирать кем быть во время ВОВ, русским или евреем, скажу так - из двух зол выбирать нечего. вы еще это предложите моему деду, который не был евреем, но в концлагере побывал.
Я уже спросил вверху "а что, бывали случаи когда евреи прятали русских, когда русские были целью?"
в данном случае не нашлось.
