📹 American roots of German Nazism, Part 4: How Hitler copied the US 'war of extermination' against the native Americans
The term 'war of extermination' (vernichtungskrieg) was used by Hitler and his inner circle to describe the war on the Eastern Front, which involved the killing of millions of people in Eastern Europe.
But the Nazis borrowed this term from US practices, particularly from the authorities in California.
Historian Yegor Yakovlev, a lecturer at Saint Petersburg State University (SPbGU) on Nazi crimes, explained exclusively Sputnik how the extermination of Native Americans by US authorities served as a model that the Nazis sought to replicate in Europe.
