I know the "magic number" was already showing up in the newspapers around that time. They have been screaming 6,000,000 for 150 years. Yet I can find no evidence that it was a real number. There weren't that many in Europe. There were a lot in Russia, but Hitler wasn't controlling Russia. Also, the ovens couldn't possibly handle that many people, and the claimed burial places couldn't hold the numbers claimed. Even if they dug holes 100 feet deep, it was mathematically impossible.
