Why Wasn't Auschwitz Bombed?

Yeah, Reitlinger is OK. By the way, A., do you reject the testimonies of non-Jews about the camps? See Borowski, above. Though he's just one example. Polish memoirs of the war, and the Holocaust, are very, very numerous and detailed. Or do you hate Poles, too? (NB: Poles are just one example. Representatives of every country ended up at Auschwitz -- I seem to remember hearing about even some American POW's, near the end.)

ETA: I don't mean that Reitlinger's use as a source means that Himmler was trustworthy. Heaven forbid. Just that Reitlinger's quotation is probably reliable.

I liked it better when A-Train was trying to figure out a way for his intrepid Jew commandos to secretly exit an airliner at 500+mph. That at least was humorous.

This Holocaust denial crap is just mean.

With this clarified, I now re-pose my question. Did the P-51 pilot commit a war crime when he machine-gunned the German pilot, and, if so, should he have been punished, in order to avoid starting down the "slippery slope"?

AFAICT from Gumboot, he might have been court-martialled, but couldn't have been prosecuted by the enemy. The same would apply to the German pilot.

In practice, things done in the heat of battle - i.e. during actual combat - are of a different nature to things done when the battle is over. It would mostly be wrong to punish soldiers for what goes on in a firefight. They are trying to kill people. They can be punished for not killing people.
 
A-Train has intrepid Jew commandos? How come he gets intrepid Jew commandos? I don't have any intrepid Jew commandos.

And sometimes I really need some intrepid Jew commandos. Let me tell you.

A Train has Joined MaGZ on my list of people this site would be much better off without.

You want intrepid Jew commandos? YOU WANT intrepid Jew commandos? You gotta EARN intrepid Jew commandos, mister! Do you think we just give out intrepid Jew commandos at the drop of a hat?!
 
Would somebody mind explaining to me, why the Allies would bomb Auschwitz if they were trying to rescue the prisoners inside Auschwitz?

You don't rescue people by bombing them.

Oh, sure. Make the thread get back on topic, huh? You've got some nerve.

You are correct. Twinstead indeed refers to "his" (A-Train's) "intrepid Jew commandos."

Clearly something is going on. A-Train him/herself is clearly an agent of the NWO, since she/he has control of, at least, a team of IJC's. Twinstead let one slip there.

So, A., are any of your commandos, ahem, uhm, oh how to say this... Hot Female IJC's?

I have got to get out of here.

The idea would have been to bomb the train lines leading to the camp; or the gas chambers (which were not small rooms, but huge); or who knows what else around there -- SS barracks? The guards' pleasant resort site, recently publicized with a contemporary photo album?

The debate as to whether it should have been done, or even could have been done, can go on forever. Ideally one would like to believe so. But under the conditions of the war, the demands for resources on many fronts, the relatively primitive air war technology (relative to today's), and never forget the fanatic determination of the German leadership and indeed rank-and-file to eliminate the Jews... Who knows?

Thats a good point - Many dont realise that Germany actually impacted it's ability to wage war by the continual funneling resources into the final solution. Bombing railway lines would have simply meant the detainees would have died locked in rail cars rather than the chambers of the camps

Never mind what George Bush and the mainstream media have to say this is a more credible answer as to why Auschwitz wasn't bombed -

Because it wasn't a ball berring plant. Schweinfurt for fifty pfennigs, Adolf. :p Precision bombing was a bit of a misnomer, all credit to the Norden bomb sight considered.

If I understand your position, the Allies should have bombed Auchschwitz and thus performed a mass mercy killing, eliminating the need for Adolf and friends to do that work themselves.

Not even a nice try, Mondial.

I think recent experiences ought to have taught us that governments, especially intelligence services, are incapable of proper coordination, even with the aid of computers.

The western Allies had some information about Auschwitz but mostly via the Poles who of course, called it Oswiecim. This arrived usually via the Foreign Office or State Department. That this might have had any relevance to the economic intelligence on the nearby Buna plant at Monowitz basically got lost in the shuffle. Economic intelligence would have had greater interest to the USAAF than what was essentially classified as political intelligence.

Throw in creaking bureaucracies lacking computers or good communications, and the fact that top-secret classified info on Birkenau was available to the OSS in Washington by early '44 meant zip when it came to target planning for the 15th Air Force in Italy 3-4 months later. The result, the USAAF photographed Birkenau from the air, and nobody took notice of the pictures until someone did a check on the films 35 years later.

If the FBI and CIA could compartmentalise information about Al Qaeda in 2001, then sure as hell would the US and British governments compartmentalise information in 1944.

You have provided no evidence to support your assertion that the deaths in the concentration camps were not deliberate while there is much evidence to show that the deaths were deliberate.

However, even if what you wrote was correct, the Germans were still responsible for their deaths. Those people (who were innocent of any crime and included young children) would not have died if they hadn't been imprisoned and hadn't been malnourished and mistreated prior to their incarceration.

The nazis were still responsible for their deaths, irrespective of how they died. I know this is hard for fans of the Nazis to accept, but it is true.
