Well, for beginners, I’m a semi-holocaust denier. (NO, I can’t explain what the semi-Holocaust was…I just have my doubts that the Genocide thing occurred the way we’ve been told) But, that aside, if there was a Holocaust, I believe that it was Himmler inspired, and Hitler may never have known about it.  
\*If \*there was a Holocaust, and \*if \*Hitler did know about it, it’s my understanding that German genocide (by actual definition of ‘-cide,’ not the UN version) against the Jews wasn’t codified until the 40s.

Point being, he wasn’t irrational. Maybe mean, but, not irrational, given his own standards of morality.

Best wishes,
