Answer 2

Old people Blacks people Catholics Gypsies homeless people Polish people Russians ect

Answer 3

Anyone who opposed Hitler was discriminated against.  Not only in Germany but every country that he conquered.

If you are talking about the concentration camps than it is a very long list. --- germans who were against him, soldiers that failed to do their duty, handicapped people, people of any race besides white, political prisoners from other countries, political germans that threatened his power and children from other countries.

Its a common known fact that 6 million Jews died in the concentration camps, but it is not widely known that 5 million others (different races and countries) were murdered in these camps also.

Poland was one of the worst countries hit and suffered severe casualties (about 5 million, which 3 million were Jews).  Russia lost over 20 million people in this war.

Its hard to really pinoint who suffered the most. Jews suffered the most in the camps but all of Europe and the world suffered too.

Answer 4

WW2 is not simply about Hitler.  The roots of the war itself are quite numerous and stem much from the inability to settle WW1 to anyones ideal conclusion.

Yes, the n***s had a systematic program to eliminate all elements they deemed un-satisfactory in the German state.  German or not, homosexuals, the mentally ill, social misfits, and the racially impure were forced out of the Reich.  Their beliefs were based on racial Nordicism, a quite common ideology in much of Germanic societies including in Britain itself.

During the war itself, apart from the n**i victims, there were over 3 million German citizens who died from Allied bombings.  The rape of East Prussia by the advancing Russians is known by that name for the 2 million women raped in a 6 month period.

The war caused death and turmoil in all corners.  The various factions of Yugoslavia behaved no diferentely than in the modern Bosnian wars.  Civilian attrocities were the norm there.

Almost every person in Europe was affected by WW2.

Answer 5

Hitler also put these people in concentration camps: the mentally disabled, physically disabled, homosexuals, people who opposed him politically, Jehova's Witnesses, and gypsies.
