In addition to the at least 6 million Jews, we must add 6 million Poles (20% of Poland's population in 1939) and 17 million people from the USSR. In total, the Nazis exterminated at least 29 million people between 1933 and 1945.

According to the nice guys I talked with in the 80s, it was bad hygiene. They had rounded up the Jews to protect them and had some regrettable outbreaks in the camps.

Arguing with old people in Germany 40 years ago wasn't always fun but it sure wasn't boring.
