This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not to defend the Nazis here, but working prisoners to death predates them by a couple millenia. They just did it on an unprecedented scale.

Ironically, what the Nazis did in the extermination camps was mass executions, i.e. the very thing anon finds wasteful.

The Extermination Camps only served the purpose so exterminate people(couldn't have guessed). After 1942 however, Concentration Camps were used to produce stuff and to lend the prisoners to other businesses. Before 1942 Concentration camps were exactly what Anon described. Treat your prisoners poorly, so they die.

No, even in extermination camps they kept the hairs to make wigs and used melted fat from bodies to make soap... yeah.
