Yes, the Nazi mass murders actually began about 1939 with handicapped and mentally defective people, to the Nazis "lives not worth living". Also fit for slaughter were any eastern Europeans or Slavic people, Gypsies especially, and homosexuals. Common criminals, political prisoners, prisoners of war, any Russian. The Nazis were remaking society, and it was to be a society free of all undesirables, from the Nazi point of view. The Nazis intended to create a new area for Germans to live in to the east of Germany, and the people already there....needed to go. They were only "untermenschen" (subhumans) anyway.
