Explain how the Third Reich, fighting a war in Europe, Asia and Africa, could spare the personnel and fuel required to gas 6 million Jews. Germany had a manpower and fuel shortage, especially after the allied forces bombed the Ploesti oil refineries which supplied much of Germany's gasoline and oil.
Germany was so short on manpower they were forced to use children as soldiers. Since Jews were about the only labor available to produce Germany's weapons and military supplies, why would Germany kill them?
It makes sense that those Jews who died did so from disease and starvation after the allies destroyed Germany's supply lines to the concentration camps.
