On May 21, 1940, a “special unit” carries out its mission-and murders more than 1,500 hospital patients in East Prussia.
Mentally ill patients from throughout East Prussia had been transferred to the district of Soldau, also in East Prussia. A special military unit, basically a hit squad, carried out its agenda and killed the patients over an 18-day period, one small part of the larger Nazi program to exterminate everyone deemed “unfit” by its ideology. After the murders, the unit reported back to headquarters in Berlin that the patients had been “successfully evacuated.”

“successfully evacuated” was the term that could be used in polite society and the media.

As horrible as the Nazi were Atheistic Communist killed 100 million over 100 years. Stalin killed over 20 million, Mao, who Biden quoted in his Coast Guard speech killed between 60 and 80 million, Lenin killed 2 million, Khmer Rouge killed 6 million Castro and Chavez and there successors killed thousands more. Yet there are people that think Marxism/ Communism are viable forms of government.
