Although, I still think it's worth repeating that this is an assumption based on the somewhat naïve belief that if you take a bunch of people out of the economy, there will automatically be exactly that amount of food available for everyone else. This is virtually never if not, in fact, never the case (unless the environment is a small and enclosed community with a limited food supply - say 6 men on a life-boat or a castle under siege). I doubt that the common denominator of so many 'social experiments' being food shortages is an accident.Sid, it's worth noting that considering that there were six million Jews murdered by the Nazis in total, their removal would have still allowed a whopping 600,000 Germans to be fed by your own calculations (since 6 million divided by ten equals 600,000)!
Not only that, but the fact that large swathes of Germany's population were locked out of making an independent contribution to the economy in various ways (concentration camps, ghettos, armed forces etc) was also the choice of the government.You are absolutely correct that the decision to spark World War II was exclusively Germany's own and was completely avoidable, though.
