If the plan was to kill the jews, why even bother loading them onto trains and moving them all over the country and putting them into camps and keeping them there for weeks and feeding them etc...
The cost of one bullet would have been far far less than that whole mess, and less than building entire camps for people to sleep in. They would have just shot them and pushed them into a hole. Way cheaper than all of that.
Yeah, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time you want to do a genocide. Death marches work really well if you’re trying to hide your crimes because they spread the bodies out and it is normal for travelers to die along the roadway. That’s what you do if you’re in a hurry. If you’re patient you just starve them to death like in the Eisenhower camps, but then you need a reasonable explanation for all of the corpses.
The plan wasn't to kill the jews. It was originally to move them out of Germany, but opposition kept them in-country. The next best thing was to contain the damage in central locations, it's just a war-torn and economically stretched country can't feed it's soldiers and prisoners at the same time.
