I know we have a hard time sometimes, when we see how cruel people can be when they are left to their own devices. Hitler wanted to install 'Ideology" in which a perfect race would life in harmony with itself. There were two things Hitler didn't understand. One of them was the depravity of human beings. The other was the he was not God. He didn't realize that people live in a fallen world that had been cursed by God, when Adam and Eve disobeyed Him in the Garden. Ever since that time, people have lived in discord, and the thinking of human beings had been darkened. Not only that, but the whole human race became weak. People get sick. They die. Some people are born with deformities. Others have been born retarded. Yes, the world is not a pretty picture since the fall of mankind. But Hitler wanted to fix the problem with his 'Ideology'. He thought he could create a perfect human race by destroying human beings that had blemishes and faults. Only a certain type of people met his criteria for living. With that in mind, here is the event that took place today, in the year 1940:
On this day in 1940, a "special unit" carries out its mission-and murders more than 1,500 hospital patients in East Prussia.
Mentally ill patients from throughout East Prussia had been transferred to the district of Soldau, also in East Prussia. A special military unit, basically a hit squad, carried out its agenda and killed the patients over an 18-day period, one small part of the larger Nazi program to exterminate everyone deemed "unfit" by its ideology. After the murders, the unit reported back to headquarters in Berlin that the patients had been "successfully evacuated."
