    Yes it was dropped after he questioned that "6 million" number (you know >what I mean) during a podcast. He also talked about race on more than
    one occasion and suggested segregation is a good idea.

    Hadn't heard about either though with respect to the Holocaust does it
    really matter in terms of depth of evil if the number is 6 million, 4
    million or 12 million? It was one helluva lot of deaths that were
    indisputably planned with industrial precise by all sorts of means
    throughout the way including up to the last week of the war.

    (I suppose if it had been that last number there wouldn't have been a
    state of Israel since with only 15 million Jews worldwide there
    wouldn't have been enough survivors to have a state of Israel but you
    get what I mean - once you get past a certain number genocide is
    completely unimagineable especially when done with the precision it
    was. Note that half the Holocaust deaths had already been done by
    September 1942 well before the tide of the war had decisively changed
    against them and that the killings didn't stop until literally a week
    before the Germans surrendered - that's well documented and was a LOT
    more people than just Dietrich Boenhoffer who was the best known
    victim of the last week of the war)

    (Back in my student days I sat in the university library and read
    several hundred pages of the Nuremberg Trials transcripts
    until I just couldn't take it any more - what was 30 or 40 musty
    volumes then is a Harvard Law School website now https://nuremberg.law.harvard.edu/)
