Wouldn't it have been smarter for the nazis to use those

they did, gassing them was an afterthought assuming it even happened in en mass

They did. They gassed them when they weren't fit to work anymore or when they had too many prisoners in the concentration camps for it to be viable.

What the fuck do you think "Arbeit macht frei" means?

The original plan was to create a prison state in Madagascar. While this was the plan, all the jews, slavs, gays and other "degenerates" were shipped to concentration camps which did exactly as you said, forced labor. However, when Hitler got completely fuckled while invading Britain and later getting slaved by Stalin, Hitler realized that his plan could not work and as such enacted the "final solution", which is when the death camps were built and the mass genocides started. The only camp that was both a concentration camp and a death camp was auschwitz.

OP are you retarded or just supid?

They did moron, most camps were work camps not death camps.

I should add on to this by saying that that Madagascar plan was to ship the degenerates there so their ethnicity and genes could be bred away with africans without affecting the aryan race. The final solution was enacted when Nazi Germany realised after 1940 that they could not bring out the extinction of the jews through breeding and so resorted to genocide to kill them all off in the final solution before the Third Reich fell

>he thinks the Holocaust actually happened the way "history" says it did
top heh, there was no systematic killing of any Jews, they were far too valuable as slave laborers, especially on the Eastern front where they were utilized in mass numbers. More slaves working in filthy, malnourished, disease-ridden conditions means more deaths, and the need for facilities to dispose of the dead to prevent further spread of disease. Disinfection and cremation is the most efficient way to dispose of corpses, hence the ovens, but mass graves did become more common as the war neared it's end and Soviets pushed into Poland.
Jews were gassed with Zyklon-B, certainly, but not in the massive numbers that the >muh 6 gorillion folks claim: typhus, dysentery, malnutrition and pure exhaustion killed far more than poison gas did.

No holocaust actually happened.
No gassings happened, no executions happened.

>implying babies, toddlers, women, grandmas and emaciated, weakened prisoners are worth keeping around for slave labor
Are you literally retarded? They did use Jews as slave labor, but you can't tell an 8-year-old to make Tiger parts, nor can you use an 83-year-old grandma to pour cement for pillboxes in Normandy. Plus, having forced laborers requires manpower to guard them, so using every single Jew as a forced laborer is impractical for that reason alone, given the manpower shortages the Nazis were having by the time the Soviets started mass conscripting. They would do selections for forced laborers when trains of Jews arrived from the ghettoes and those who were too young, old or physically weak were sent to be killed. Stop acting like you're smart, because you know literally nothing and are embarrassingly stupid.
