Perhaps a thread on the problems of the over-commercialism and decline of the BBC would have been useful.

What's the problem with that. Kids love war toys. You can get toys from every army that ever existed good or bad. At least hopefully whilst playing with them it'll make them want to learn about what they did.
Countrys banning anything nazi seems so stupid to me. Your trying to bury something, that should never be forgotten. If you don't learn from the past it will happen again.
They have plenty of attractive news readers/weather readers.they do have Susanna Reid though
They're still an outdated media agency that's going down the pan.

The problem is that the figure is not an appropriate toy for a child IMHO.
why not?
He was a leader of a huge army. Would you ban Roman gladiator toys as well as that's killing for sport?
Or is it just because it's recent history?

I think its poor taste as a child's toy, I did not say ban or not make or not sell, just poor taste. Different strokes kind of thing.
What is it though that makes you think it's poor taste. Just trying to understand the reason.

No, but selling these dolls on the high street is just immoral, especially in Ukraine. Ukraine has been through a lot of **** compared to us, genocide, chernobyl etc. The country is still not fully developed. Last time I went there, the mains water came on in the morning and was switched off at mid-day, so you had to make sure you had enough water reserves; and this was in the city!
Ukraine needs to move forward ASAP; leave the past in the museums, make sure nothing bad is brought up that reminds people of the bad times, and strive to become a better MEDC.
NO SWEARING
That never does anyone any good.

This is true, however bad past events are they have a use, kept in the public eye they show how things should not be done. Im not sure where I read it but it go's something like this.
Without knowing the past you cannot know the future because you don't know where you are going if you do not know where you came from.
Or something like that, but the above statement has a lot of weight. A person as an individual or a whole society cannot move forward into better things if they do not have the experience and education of past mistakes to learn from.

I fail to find any merit in your posts. My position as a paganist stands firm.
I would remind you: do unto others as you would have them do unto you

Stands firm?, have you been at the polyreligionist viagra again? It will do you no good at all, if you can't stand on your own your not doing it right. You should talk to Ned Flanders more and take onboard his ideas, he says his religion stands firm with no additional help and despite what Homer has to say.
Anyway where you been?, your posts lend so much more weight and credibility to even the least enlightend among us. Without you posting it makes the rest of us look uninformed. Have a good Cheekykid, and lay off those enhancement pills you are just making things hard for yourself

Are you asking if there is a universally agreed number killed in the concentration camps? If so the answer is no, full records don't exist, many having been destroyed as the camps were captured or just before, so it is very difficult to do anything more than a best guess type of estimate. Then of course there are the holocaust deniers/diminishers who either totally disavow that the camps killed anyone or the more "reasonable" of them will not deny as such but will downplay any figures that are presented.

There are many clues but no firm figures, a site administered by a friend of mine has many resources and links to documents and statements.

This page shows those who posted in this thread and do have a good idea of the real facts are not too far from the accepted figures.

Getting back on topic. This is the same figure released by 3R in the USA over a year ago which sold out very quickly. Good old Auntie Beeb for stirring up tensions over a collectable toy (even if it is in bad taste).

Differing countries have their own idea of bad taste,

But I wager the Hitler doll would sell out in a storm in Iran
, with their very sensitive view of Jewish people.
