Why should they kill them?
With peace in the summer of 1940 - the original plan- hundreds of ships are availiable to ship the Jews to Madagascar.
Then theres propaganda for Hitler: Look at me Im such a jew-lover I give them even their own country.
Even if they decide otherwise and use the death squads and extermination camps - thats one year time where Jews are shiped to Madagascar instead of beeing killed.
The possibility was there since it was planned and the plan was serious.
You are joking right?
Madagascar was death on a stick. Forget about the unquestionably hellish condtions the deportees would have faced (a regime that MURDERED around 9 million people isn't going to care about deaths during the voyage), just look at the reality:
The original plan was to transport 4,000,000 Northern Europeans to a tropical island that had, at the time, a total population of 25,000.
There was no infrastructure.
NO INFRASTRUCTURE at all.
There was no food source for 4 million people.
There was no source of potable water.
The following diseases were endemic: Malaria, Dengue, Rabies, Plague along with the usual alphabet soup of tropical diseases. None of the deportees had any immunity to these diseases.
The plan called for moving 4+ million people to a location that had been studied for a much smaller scale movement and found to be incapable of supporting 60,000. The actual number of Jews that would have would up being deported would actually have been 7,000,000+. You send 7 MILLION people to an enviroment that can't support 60 thousand and you wind up with 7 million dead deportees.
The plan was idiotic and an utterly transparent plot to obliterate the Jews of Europe while keeping the blood hidden.
BTW: I am locking this thread before we have to start banning people.
