Although Jews were the primary victims of Nazi racism, others targeted for death included tens of thousands of Roma (Gypsies) and at least 200,000 mentally or physically disabled people. As Nazi tyranny spread across Europe, the Germans persecuted and murdered millions of other people. More than three million Soviet prisoners of war were murdered or died of starvation, disease, or maltreatment. The Germans killed tens of thousands of non-Jewish Polish intellectual and religious leaders, and deported millions of Polish and Soviet citizens for forced labor. Thousands of political dissidents (including Communists, Socialists, and trade unionists) and religious dissidents (such as Jehovah's Witnesses) were also targeted. Many of these individuals died as a result of incarceration and maltreatment.

Poles who were considered ideologically dangerous (including thousands of intellectuals and Catholic priests) were targeted for execution in an operation known as AB-Aktion.

Through the so-called “Euthanasia Program,” the Nazis murdered an estimated 200,000 individuals with mental or physical disabilities. From the early years of Nazi regime, they also persecuted male homosexuals, whose behavior they considered a hindrance to the preservation of the German nation. The Nazis imprisoned those they termed "chronic" homosexuals in concentration camps, as well as thousands of other individuals accused of so-called "asocial" or criminal behavior.

Nazi ideology identified a multitude of enemies and led to the systematic persecution and murderof many millions of people, both Jews and non-Jews.

1. Jews (six million estimate)
2. Sinti and Roma ( called Gypsies) and others (800,000 estimates)
3. Poles - Jews and Christians ( 3 million christians, rest Jews)
4. Serbs - (1.2 milion)
5. Bosniaks (500,000)
6. Soviets civilains in occupied territories including Russians and other East Slavic people that where considered mentally or physically disabled, homosexuals, africans, jehovah's witnesses, communists, political trade unionists, freemansons, eastern christians, catholics, and protestant clergy where gathered persecuted and killed.

These where civilains, personers of war, not people killed in combat.

Another number not considered are the poor souls mostly Jews that committed suicide to avoid the untold suffering of those caputured. Estimates in Berlin alone where about 1600 Jews between 1938 and 1945

All the numbers are considered estimates..

Although Hitler found all races inferior, he only aimed to exterminate Jews and Gypsies.
Other people, not races, in death camps were the mentally and physically handicapped and insane.
Although Arabs are technically Semites, many helped Axis forces in the Middle East.

JB has most of it right, but his main hatred is as follows:

1) Slavs
2) Semintics
3) Gypsies
4) Africans

He could stand the British, French, and Americans, but not too much else.

Slovaks, ****** any non white race. He was only Allies with the Japanese because they kept the Americans at bay. Had he won the war he would have turned on the Japanese because he wanted it all.

Think of it this way, the Germans were the 'master race'. From that description of themselves, it's easy to derive that all other ethnicities, races, etc...were inferior to what he called the 'master race'.
