Mischlinge Challenges. Nazi Germany Spared German Quarter-Jews and Half-Jews: Death Postponed Until After the War–As With Poles

Holocaust supremacists insist that the Holocaust is special because, for example, Stalin never tried to kill all the Ukrainians in the HOLODOMOR. This argument is doubly disingenuous, because on the one hand Hitler did not kill all the Jews either and in addition Stalin was in no position to even contemplate the killing of 50 million Ukrainians. It would have disrupted the Soviet Union beyond recognition!

In like manner, Hitler could not have exterminated all the Poles without causing major wartime disruptions, so the non-disappearance of Poles does not count as an argument for the validity of Holocaust supremacy. As this article shows, Hitler ironically could not destroy all traces of German Jewishness either, without causing major disruptions!

GERMANS BACK OFF FROM EXTERMINATING GERMAN HALF-JEWS

Tabb introduces this subject, “Heydrich proposed that first-degree Mischlinge, with exceptions, now be treated as ‘full Jews’ and included in the measures of the ‘Final Solution.'” (p. 11). This did not happen, simply because there were too many of them! It would have destabilized the German war effort. So Hitler instead chose to focus his murderous instincts on a smaller subgroup of Jews. Note that a large fraction of first-degree Mischlinge (half-Jews) are Jews according to Jewish definition.

NAZIS COULD NOT EVEN STERILIZE QUARTER-JEWS AND HALF-JEWS

By way of introduction, Tabb writes, “Sterilization was a familiar tactic to those present at the Wannsee Conference. Hitler introduced compulsory sterilization of those with hereditary diseases just months after taking the position of chancellor.” (p. 14).

Mass sterilization, proposed for the Mischlinge, was totally unworkable in a wartime context. Tabb gives us the particulars, “On the agenda were the administrative obstacles of sterilization, including the ‘700,000 hospital days’ this would allegedly entail for Mischlinge, when these beds were needed for wounded soldiers.” (p. 20). After the war, it would be a totally different story. (p. 14). In like manner, the Poles would have been exterminated largely by mass sterilization. See:

MISCHLINGE CHALLENGES? HARDLY. THE MISCHLINGE WERE SPARED FROM THE HOLOCAUST

Despite the tightening of restrictions on the Mischlinge that took place after Wannsee, the German authorities never exterminated Germany’s quarter-Jews and half-Jews. Tabb comments, “Scholars on the whole conclude that most Mischlinge owe their survival to Hitler’s indecision…” (p. 13). The author focuses on Nazi German concerns about public morale. He adds, “These concerns fueled Hitler’s unwillingness to decide upon the fate of Mischlinge in regard to the Final Solution.” (p. 13).

So, concerns about public morale overruled the presumed Nazi desire to rid Germany of the so-called existential enemy–anyone remotely Jewish. The Nazis retreated from their Jew-killing program, in the face of practical difficulties, just as they did from their Pole-killing program…at least until after the end of the war.

NAZI GERMANY WOULD HAVE SPARED SOME JEWS EVEN IF MISCHLINGE HAD BEEN EXTERMINATED OR STERILIZED

Far from having a unique obsession of destroying every single possible Jew, the Nazis were very pragmatic about this, even after Wannsee [January 1942]. Tabb opens our eyes as she writes, “For example, on March 16 [1942], the Reich Minister of the Interior discussed how the Fuhrer could in some cases reclassify ‘valuable’ Jews as Mischlinge and valuable ‘half-Jews’ as ‘persons of German blood.’..Letter from the Reich Minister of the Interior dated 16 March, 1942.” (p. 14. Emphasis added).

This is another nail in the coffin of the Holocaust supremacist talking point that insists that all Jews were inevitably slated for annihilation.
