So it wasn’t when they were doing a genocide in Namibia?

How about when the Social Democrats turned on the Communists during the revolution?

It wasn’t when the german military gave guns, tanks, and aircraft to the Freikorps to use against other Germans?

What about when the were sending 10% of the social democrats (who were instrumental to nazi’s rise to power) and 80% of the communists to camps 5 years prior to the kristallnacht?
