“the French as resistance fighters, not as collaborators for example”: Would be true without “Lacombe Lucien” movie…

“Yeah but it wasn't just Germany it was everyone.” Every one organising convoys ending in extermination camps?

Sorry, but the Final Solution is a specificity of the Nazi in the methods and in the Ideology.
Then, the Holocaust was single out because it was completely ignored at the end of WW2. The deportees were even not first to be repatriated.
Even Ben Gourion who can’t be suspected of anti-Semitism, had problem in accepting the Holocaust as specific.

The importance of this unique process, the understanding of this “exception” came later because as many in this forum, people wanted just to see as a result of the war and not as a result of a policy.
Nuremberg had to invent the charge of Genocide. If Napoleon, Tamerlan, Gengis Khan, and all the Great Conquerors were “Genocidors”, it would have been very easy to charge and sentence the Nazi.

I would say the denying of the Eastern Countries suffering and slaughtered was more than the Extermination was exaggerated for political purposes mainly.
Even today: Shimon Peres, Israeli President, visiting Jasenovac, declared that the Nazi Germans pushed the Nazi Croats… Sorry but no. The cruelty of the Utase didn’t come because the Germans. It was there and didn’t need to be pushed…
Again, it is a try to push on Germany the guilt and, by the same token, to put the Eastern Countries on the good side as victims.

“It is a big deal, but it would be nice to get a more objective viewpoint of Hitler and the NSDAP than we tend to get.” Like what? New explanation for the Crystal night, Long knives night, brutality as political tool, racism (in full sense) as foundation of an ideology, extermination as goal?

“All the while the rest of Europe simply stood there, pretending it didn't know what was going on.” Err, they were at war if you remember…

“642335465 Holocaust movies” Didn’t notice there are so much of them… Just top of your head, give me ten, specifically on the Holocaust…

“The systematic gassing of Haitians by Napoleon” Can you give me links for that, for personal interest. Gassing before the industrial Revolution…

“they exterminated the females and children of the Boers had a significant impact on the Second Boer War” Nope. It was not a extermination, planned as in Sobibor or Birkenau but a plain lacking of hygienic principles and moral principal together…
