the Germans certainly had concentration camps originally for who they saw as enemies of the state. Communists Jehovah witnesses, insurgents even out spoken Christians to some degree the Jews and prisoners of war came later. Many became work camps and labour for the war production. Naturally there were some murders as with any war . But was it deliberate and planned murder. The question of Germany invading Russia and whether they had a choice is still hotly debated. As to wanting war with the other allies. No. It was the allies that declared war on Germany. Germany never wanted war with the UK nor France. Even after the fall of France. Extremely generous peace terms were offered . France would go back to being France and the Uk would not be threatened. Actually the war could have been finished in 1940. At least in the European theatre
I am sure that you are a well meaning and lovely Christian woman. I do not question that at all. What I question is your knowledge of history or at least your opinion of that history.

I guess that you do not know or maybe have forgotten that what distinguishes a
concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system.
The people in German CONCENTRATION CAMPS were not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.

You seem to be trying to validate the MURDER of 6 MILLION men, women and children because of one factor....they were Jewish.
Of course it was DELIBERATE. One or two or a hundred maybe explained as an accident,
but 6 MILLION!!!

No mamn it is not by anyone I know and I am a lot older that YOU. Hitler made the plans, and made the choice to invade Russia because
when he came to power in 1933, his combined traditional nationalist obsessions with his own ruthless Darwinian philosophy and vitriolic
hatred for the Slavic and Jewish peoples, whom he deemed to be backward and inferior had to be finalized.

That is also ambiguous at best, BUT that is always the way it is with "revisionist" theology.
The Allied Forces of Great Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand responded to
Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland by declaring war. Two days before war was declared, German forces had bombed Polish cities and towns, killing and injuring thousands. After the Germans failed to meet a deadline set by The Allies to retreat from Poland, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain announced on radio: "I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received and consequently this country is at war with Germany." This marked the beginning of World War II.
The real truth is that Hitler did not believe that Britian and FRance would go to war!
It was then Nazi Germany who declared War on the USA AFTER Japan had attacked Perl Harbour.
As for Hitler making peaceful offers to the Allies.
Let see if I understand what you are saying. Hitler/Germany broke the treaty of Versailles.
Hitler then promised he would not invade Czechoslovakia......but lied and did it anyway.
Hitler then promised he would not invade Poland.......................but he lied and did it anyway.
Hitler then promised he would not invade Russia........................but he lied and did it anyway.
So why in the world would Churchill believe him and sign any kind of peace agreement?????
I think my dear that you need to read and study REAL history and stay away from "revisionist" propaganda.
