I mean. Prisoners of war rarely committed any actual crimes right? And I can definitely imagine the Nazis using that term in official documents. Would be stupid otherwise. I think there is a book, the bureaucracy of murder, that talks about those euphemismic language in brutal states. I can also imagine some officers in those camps actually being concerned with feeding the people (or handling the other prisoners watching their comrades die of hunger), just not out of empathy. And finally, it’s just really stupid to take those letters and make a case for the Holocaust being an accident, wtf.
