    Sorry for the harsh language but no I think you do know about it but just not how much it did have in line with industrialized slaughter that the Nazis did.

    For example buffalo skulls and native scalps were valued equally in state mandated bounties because they literally paid militiamen and frontier settlers by the kill to exterminate them as efficiently as possible to pave the way for settlers.

      I apologize if I was aggressive and defensive as well. I do not want to even begin to seem like I am attempting to say that the depravity of both genocides was not equal. I was attempting to say that the methods used may have had overlap, but were extremely different. State mandated bounty hunts are a sick extermination tactic, as were the multitude of other depraved methods used, but it is not similar (Note that does not mean it is lesser to, or less important) to a system in which a psychopathic man spends months refining a camp system so that he can exterminate 2,000 people every hour round the clock, 365 days a year, at the camp he oversees that kills a further 10,000 a day from disease, malnutrition, gunshot, exhaustion, and torture. Then that being only one camp out of hundreds in a system designed to leave no trace of its targets in only a decades time.
