    Not really relevant to the POS Musk, but: it is interesting how few people were actually involved in murdering such a massive number of victims. The Treblinka death camp by itself, for example, was operated for 18 months by a staff that consisted at any one time of around 25 German officers and soldiers and around 100 local workers. Using only a salvaged diesel engine from a Soviet tank, they murdered approximately 900,000 people. Had German defeated the Soviet Union, they could certainly have exterminated the entire country had they so chosen (though the long-term plan was geared more towards enslavement).
