The countries were in a terriable econmice depression and millions of people were out of work. Of all Hitler's intended victims Hitler wanted jews and Gypsies to be exterminated completely. To justify thier complete destruction, the Nazis labled them socially "inferior" "racially impure" and "criminals". German society had long shunned and persecuted homosexuals.
