(129,725 posts)The Nazis' "final solution" started out with a plan to deport Jews, not kill them. In 1940 they came up with a proposal to round them up and send them to Madagascar, which at the time was a French colony, and the idea was that France would hand over control of Madagascar to Germany as part of a peace settlement. However, by 1942 due to a British naval blockade the plan could not be carried out and was abandoned. Then they considered deporting Jews to the Soviet Union, but that plan collapsed when they failed to defeat Russian forces. It was only when they no longer had any workable means to deport the Jews that the Nazis decided to move them to concentration camps in order to exterminate them themselves.
Hitler loved the idea of America's Native Reservation program. But even as he was pitching it early on, people in his inner circle had very different ideas.
