1. The Nazis never stopped the "extermination" of mentally or physically
handicapped people, they just didn't make it public anymore...(in their
opinion, such people polluted the gene pool)..."worthless" non-jewish people
were then "brought to Hospitals" (but were brought to the KZs) or "given the
honour to fight on a special mission" which turned out to be a suicide
mission with zero chance of survival...but officially they all died an
honourly death for the Fuehrer...

2. the outcry (or the lack of it in the latter case) was more a result of
propaganda. People felt empathy for the disabled, as they didn't hurt
anyone...but everyone knew that jews were bad people and deserved no
mercy...
