The
broad theory of WWI is that the Allies won and the Central Powers lost. What does that have to do with "cowardice and monumental stupidity" on the part of officers during the war?
History is not just about "broad theories", it's about details. People still believe in soap and lampshades to this day. Why is it desirable that people still believe something that is a lie? The Holocaust was a terrible enough event without needing ridiculous myths to 'support' it.
Why is it acceptable to examine and discuss the numbers of people killed in every other event in history, but not the Holocaust?
You said yourself "large" numbers of Jews died. Who is denying that?

Early evidence begins in the late 20's with Mein Kampf, the rise of National Socialism, the Stormtroopers, the street battles against the communists. The Nazis begin to have some democratic success and Hitler eventually becomes chancellor. Throughout this period his speeches and writing are filmed and widely reported in German and foreign press. His anti semitism is a central part of the political narrative. The first concentration camp is opened within weeks of Hitler taking office.
Then as soon power is cemented via imprisonment and murder of his rivals the lot of the Jews of europe takes significant turn for the worse. The Nuremberg laws remove Jews from positions of authority and ban them from owning property.
After the invasion of Poland and the outbreak of war the Jewish problem becomes acute for the Nazi leadership. The sheer numbers of Jews they are encountering in the conquered territories of the east (5m in Poland alone) drives them to increasingly barbourous acts. Commando groups are formed from particularly ardent anti semitic members of the SS, they roam the villages of Eastern Europe murdering whole communities wherever they find Jewish settlements. However this policy is slow and inefficient. A final solution is required.
The Warsaw ghetto is emptied and the wholesale industrial murder is now in full flow.
I could go on.

Could you? Because that reads like it's from a book or transcript.
