Okay, fine, if you're not going to take this seriously, i'll start us off with a good one: The first trains with German Jews expelled to ghettos in occupied Poland began departing from central Germany on 16 October 1941.
These were called Sonderzüge.
Now you do one
trains are man made
your turn
Most of the Jews were forced to pay for their own deportations, particularly wherever passenger carriages were used.
The SS forwarded part of this money to the German Transport Authority to pay the German Railways for transport of the Jews.
the total area of contact between train wheels and rail is little larger than one silver dollar.
That's a good train fact!
Powered mainly by efficient steam locomotives, the Holocaust trains were kept to a maximum of 55 freight cars on average, loaded from 150% to 200% capacity - German ingenuity didn't just start with Volkswagon, folks!
If someone commits suicide in Japan by jumping onto an oncoming train, the train company can/will sue his/her family for cleanup fees, loss of income and negative publicity brought on by the suicide
Of the more than 245,000 Jews who passed through the Łódź Ghetto, the last 68,000 inmates, by then the largest final gathering of Jews in all of German occupied Europe, had been liquidated by the Nazis after 7 August 1944. They were told to prepare for resettlement; instead, over the next 23 days they were sent to Birkenau by train at the rate of 2,500 per day, with some of the crippled selected by Josef Mengele for his "medical experiments"
Obviously I was just being edgy, but now im down a bit of a rabbit hole reading about these
Luxury trains are the best way if anyone wants to travel the world’s most beautiful places. They promise to deliver the most exciting, unforgettable journey across the world’s most famous tourist places. Anyone willing to spend some good amount of money to experience the elegance of Kings and Queens, luxury trains are truly the best way to do it.
the SS was paying the German Train Authority, the ReichBAHN, the equivalent of a Third Class train ticket for every Jewish prisoner transported to their final destination. Calculate: 0.5 pfennig X 8,000,000 prisoners X 600 Km (pro media of voyage length) and you get about 240 millions Riechmarks.
8 million you say? 🤔
I can practically hear you rubbing your hands
Don't worry, the nazis weren't completely heartless; children got to ride the trains half price. Children under 10-12 years of age paid half price, one-way ticket. All this money went to the German Rails Authority who regarded the evacuation as a simple local freight transportation matter.
Stalin: "Rookie numbers, i can do more, for less, and no one will care in the future".
Yes but I bet the Germans turned a profit with this
Well they did get resource procurement on the other side in soviet land.
This is the shit I don't get about holocaust denial.
We got pretty meticulous documentation from the Germans about how everything operated.
Which, I mean, is an upside for a country of autists.
Look all im saying is if the nazis really killed that many jews, then how come there's so many running our media organizations?!
I am obviously joking and being edgy, I don't have a problem with jews at all
and holocaust denial is indeed bs
The weird part is that any discrepancy is taken as "proof" nothing happened at all
There were also Jews that were killed by Soviet Russia - those figures got bundled with the Nazi figure and all blamed on the Germans... that's where the discrepancy comes from, not because it didn't happen.
what the fuck is this ^
don't defile the history channel, it's still young
good point - forgot I wasn't in general
Most Commies were Russians and Ukrainians
We jews are just naturally good at taking high positions cuz were smart
