Have you come far right?
No it isn't.
I understood that 'The Final Solution,' both as term and concept, emerged from the Wannsee Conference in January 1942. It was presided over by Reinhard Heydrich, who had been tasked to do so by Hermann Göring, who, in turn, was having cosy conversations with Adolf at Berchtesgaden. There's enough hideousness to spread around, no one need feel deprived.
And yes there were death camps before the conference, but there were also inconveniences like International Red Cross inspections that wasted precious time and resources. The whole process needed streamlining. That was the purpose of the meeting, and The Final Solution itself.

Oh, I didn't think for a minute that you were, and I get that you were trying to understand them without endorsing them.
Regarding the final solution: My understanding is that Himmler was the driving force behind the idea.
But even so, even if Hitler didn't come up with it, he wouldn't have diverted so much by way of human and material resources to the extermination of Jews (and others!) if he didn't fully and enthusiastically support it.
So is it significant if the final solution didn't originate in Hitler's mind?
