''When we think of Nazi killing, genocide immediately comes to mind,
particularly that of "6,000,00 Jews." But they also murdered for
reasons other than race or religion. For one, the Nazis slew those who
opposed or hindered them, whether actually or potentially. This was
why Hitler assassinated hundreds of top Nazi SA's (Sturmabteilung)4 in
June and July 1934, who under Ernst Rohm were becoming a strong
competitor to the SS (Schutzstaffel); or executed perhaps 5,000
Germans after the 1944 plot on his life and attempted coup d'etat.
Indeed, it is why critics, pacifists, conscientious objectors, campus
rebels, dissidents, and others throughout the twelve-year history of
the regime in Germany, were executed, disappeared, or slowly died in
concentration camps. The Nazis thus killed some 288,000 Germans, not
counting Jews, homosexuals, and those forcibly "euthanized." If these
are included, then the Nazis murdered at least 498,000 Germans,
probably 762,000. As shown in table 1.2, this was one out of every
hundred Germans. ''
