The modern death camp was invented by Lenin and super sized by Stalin. These two were Hitler’s real role models.
It's not as crazy as you think. We forget that during the 1920's, a number of Germans got secret military aviation training in the Soviet Union--and those Germans may have heard about the labor camps that the Bolsheviks created right after the Russian Revolution and were already quite active by the late 1920's when Stalin took power and tremendously expanded them.
