Why kill them right away if you can use them as free source of labour first. They wouldn't have kept those in the camps alive if they weren't useful.

Then they would have killed those who couldn't work, but they didn't, in fact no evidence of a kill order from hitler exists. almost as if there's a tightly controlled narrative surrounding nazi germany. They used them as slave labour once Germany started running out of young men to work because they were either fighting or dead. And they continued to feed, staff and supply the camps even when all Germany was starving under the trade embargoes against them, almost as if it was important to Germany that they lived even if they couldn't work. I guess it's a mystery of history though.

You claim no evidence of kill orders, but then make up some stuff about it being important to keep them alive with just as little evidence. Your narrative is just as made up to serve your own interests as the organised holocaust crowd.
Reality is that they wanted those in the camps removed from German society, originally not by killing them but by relocating them. But as the war progressed they started using them as forced labour, working them to death. There was no grand scheme to commit the holocaust, it gradually grew into that. Every small step along the way justifiable by those doing it, when they would never agree to the overall picture. Humans are funny like that, easy for us to lose sight of the big picture, when faced with whatever issue is at hand now. Then use the previous step as an excuse to justify the next.

Why kill them at all, then? In fact, why put them in camps when they would contribute a lot more to the economy as autonomous workers?
It's almost as if, there was a war on, and he was trying to maintain stability by putting potential dissidents in one place.

Read my other replies.
Their was no plan to kill them. It happened because that's were things ended up.
The other guy is claiming the camps were Disneyland. How good they had it. Give me a break, they were forced labour camps were you died if you couldn't work. That was not the initial plan but that's what happened as the war went on.
