Makes sense. A couple of things happened: 1942 Wannsee Conference in January 1942 - which I assume took some time during 1942 to get into motion.

Germany started losing, they realized they did not have the logistics to feed additional millions of people in the occupied territories.

Right, I'm just shocked by the speed of it all and how many regular people had to be mobilized to kill so many in 11 months.
