- nashashmi 6mo agoNo one calls the japanese persecution of the Chinese a holocaust. For generalplan ost, “The plan, prepared in the years 1939–1942, was part of Adolf Hitler's and the Nazi movement's Lebensraum policy and a fulfilment of the Drang nach Osten” which still makes it a later development.
