Both suggests equal value.
The experience of enduring physical hardship, of being struck and continuing to fight, is irreplaceable. Skills add to it, but are of uncertain worth without it.
Until you've had your face beaten in you wouldn't understand. Bare knuckle combat is borderline spiritual the way it changes how you view yourself and the world.
It looks like *Mein Kampf* does not include a reference to six million. Here's the passage, which is in the first footnote of chapter 9:
> Its training must not be organized from the military standpoint but from the standpoint of what is most practical for party purposes. Seeing that its members must undergo a good physical training, the place of chief importance must not be given to military drill but rather to the practice of sports. **I have always considered boxing and ju-jitsu more important than some kind of bad, because mediocre, training in rifle-shooting. If the German nation were presented with a body of young men who had been perfectly trained in athletic sports, who were imbued with an ardent love for their country and a readiness to take the initiative in a fight, then the national State could make an army out of that body within less than two years if it were necessary, provided the cadres already existed.** In the actual state of affairs only the REICHSWEHR could furnish the cadres and not a defence organization that was neither one thing nor the other. Bodily efficiency would develop in the individual a conviction of his superiority and would give him that confidence which is always based only on the consciousness of one's own powers. They must also develop that athletic agility which can be employed as a defensive weapon in the service of the Movement.
I'm guessing that whoever quoted this put the six million number in as a joke.
