"their" meaning the German's. The reason Hitler hated the Jews was because of the subversion they did from positions of power, the same as they continue to do around the world. I am not going to claim that he was absolutely right about that belief as I don't have that evidence, but I acknowledge that that evidence would have been destroyed long ago as it is clear that those same subversive forces are in power again. It seems almost absurd to think that he wasn't right though, considering how today we send billions of dollars to Israel and everyone pretends this is rational (among so many other things).

Also a concentration camp is simply a place to collect and control a population that could pose a threat if allowed to roam free. It is the same as the Japanese internment camps in the US. I am not making any claims about the conditions of the camps, simply that their existence is not evidence for the claims that they were extermination camps.

It's important to realize that the Russian Federation was controlled by the Bolsheviks, who were a political party that was run by (guess who).

I agree that it does lend credibility to Hitler's claims when he was also able to make such a quick and drastic change to Germany. That does not justify his invasion of Poland or war against the rest of Europe and the world. He should have found a way to fix Germany without expansionism. He should also have found a way to stop Jewish subversion without demonizing them, and without putting them in concentration camps. If he had the power to do the latter, than he had the power to do the former.

If there was persecution of Germans in the annexed parts they certainly had the ability to move. I'm not a history buff, but I always had the impression that there was quite a bit of evidence that the reason was simply expansionism. Sure, they wanted to bring the German people back into the fold, but not because they were being persecuted, rather because they had a loyalty to them. They also considered Slavic people to be low quality. But the action taken (total invasion) suggest that they had bigger goals than simply repatriating people and former German land.
