1944: When The US Wanted To Bomb Auschwitz | Should We Bomb Auschwitz? | Timeline

In April 1944, two Jewish prisoners miraculously escaped from Auschwitz. When they recounted what they had left behind, their harrowing testimony revealed the true horror of the Holocaust to the outside world for the first time. They described in forensic detail the gas chambers and the full extent of the extermination programme. The news they brought presented the Allies with one of the greatest moral questions of the 20th century: Should we bomb Auschwitz?

One of my favourite escape stories.. when I first learned about the story of Vrba and Bretzel I can't believe it was a real story.

It blows my mind on how people could be so evil to do such things to another human being. It's beyond evilness to me.

This was the worst thing that could happen to humanity it’s really sad sometimes people are put in these spots and feel like they need to do what they need to do to survive but did you know the United States brought their scientist to work in NASA they kept those minds alive

[@alechamid235]

@@Loveiseverywhere10 Yes, the U.S took in more than 700 scientists, because they were so advanced in their fields. So, they brought their minds here to advance America. There is nothing wrong with that. But you can't compare that to the mass killings of millions of innocent people in some of the worst ways imaginable.

[@andrewbird57]

Most of the reasons why Auschwitz wasn't bombed were touched on in this vid. But one reason was not fully explored, and that is the military men running the war for the Allies had one objective - to win. They assumed those running the war in Germany had the same objective, and they couldn't fathom Germany would divert such massive resources from their war effort to carry out an ideological pursuit that had no military value. The Germans were losing on three fronts. It didn't make sense to the Allied military commanders and I'm not sure they fully believed or understood the reports coming out of Auschwitz. My dad was a POW at Lamsdorf, in the same part of Poland as Auschwitz. I've been to Auschwitz and have talked to guides and the local historians about this.

In regards to stopping the Holocaust, there's not much the Allies could've done. Take into account that there are 42,500 camps total, the Holocaust would've continued and not to mention the severe reprisals that would've happened. The only way to really stop the Holocaust in its tracks for good was to win the war. If anyone wants to know more about the story shown on screen, I highly recommend a book titled The Escape Artist by Johnathan Freedland. It's easily my favorite book despite the grim subject it pertains to.

Or a holocaust? I've listened to scores of holocaust survivor's stories . They talked about how the nazis would force them out of their homes, at gunpoint, and crowd them into ghettos where people literally starved and died of disease. The European ww2 refugees came in and did the SAME EXACT THING. And kept it up to this day. You should search for some interviews with a Jewish historian originally from Iraq. Very highly regarded . A little short round old man and I cant remember his name. Bald on top with white hair. Glasses. Very informative about the regional events of the last 80 years. Genocide I'd defined as trying to destroy a people. It doesn't matter what their numbers are. And several officials including Netanyahu have made public statements about their intent to destroy Palestinians ( and Christians by the way) out of the area, and absorb parts of lebanon, syria and Jordan . Not muslims, just Palestinians, arabs and Christians. Some muslims they seem to feel they can live with.

Agreed. Bombing would have sent a statement, but it would have been quickly spun by the Nazis.

I can't comprehend the suffering that must have been endured. That being said, this documentary clearly states those who were gassed were done so almost immediately upon arrival. It also shows multiple survivors that were deported and arrived there more than a year before the war ended let alone many others before that who would have almost certainly been killed by a bombing raid . Please listen starting at 42:25 IF the bombers even managed to hit to crematorium and gas chambers and destroy them, given hitler's dedication to the final solution; would have been rebuilt as soon as possible. He denied frontline troops supplies to transport people to the camps. Also look at the raids on german oil production or other (for example aircraft) factories, rebuilt back to 75% or more capacity in sometimes less than a month, if not 1-2 months. In the meantime the condemned would have been deported to other death camps while future survivors would have needlessly been killed and would not be here today to share their testimony . Just my view, but have studied both world wars for easily 14-15 years.

Can we not pretend there weren't people in the Allied governments who heard this and just thought "I hope they get all of them"? The United States, Canada, and Britain all refused to let jews into their countries, even when they arrived in their harbors in the thousands on ships. The people on those ships were sent back to Germany to be murdered. This is why Jews need a state: everyone needs a place where they know they can escape persecution if things go off the trails. We just saw this happen in Nagorno-Karabach when Azerbaijan invaded and forced the Armenians to leave, sending them to Armenia. Armenia has taken them in, despite the massive strain on their resources. Contrast this with the Kurds, who have been the victims of repeated atrocities because their land is spread between multiple countries where they're a minority, instead of having their own country where they're a majority. Even if it meant some Kurds living outside Kurdistan, they'd have the security of knowing they can leave.

@@vitamaltz the fact you still got the US deaths wrong is infuriating. As to Russia your number is pulled on a estimat of total deaths. With only 8 to 9 million being service members. Due to MULTIPLE issues. Let's list some Battle deaths: Soldiers killed in battle Mass executions: Deliberate genocide and massacres Forced labor camps: Soviet prisoners of war were deliberately mistreated and starved, and millions died in German captivity Mass deportations: Millions of civilians, including Soviet Jews, were killed in the Holocaust War-related problems: Civilians were hurt by bombings, disease, and starvation There's always more deaths when the war is in your country. And the soviet doctrine was to just throw men into fire for no other reason than they had the number to do so. I'll put it another way. So you'll comprehend it. Let's say there's one guy you need gone: The USA would use one bullet with a sniper Russia would use 500 bullets with a machine gun. Russia itself was its own problem. And again it comes back the the USA. If we didn't open up the second front Moscow would have fell. But WE forced Germany to fight on another front giving Russia a chance to survive.

I was wondering if the docu would address the Allied military strategic benefit in NOT bombing the camps - in order to keep them functioning at 100% capacity and uninterrupted so that there were fewer German soldiers divested from the frontlines. But this is the realpolitik stuff that no one wants to talk about.

[@chuckfrezzel348]

This topic is not so black and white as this documentary makes it seem. It is a dishonor to everyone that perished in the camp’s. Putting blame on the very soldiers that liberated the survivors.

They had no problem bombing the trains of food and medicine on the way to the camp

You think the food n medicine was for the Jews in camp?

[@scottcohen1776]

Maybe if the people of Gaza would have chosen peace, they would not be suffering due to the evils of their government.

[@skillz7119]

@@scottcohen1776 The last opportunity the people of Gaza had to vote and "choose peace" was in 2006. "Their" government has been beyond their control since then. Most citizens of Gaza were not even born in 2006. They were never given a choice.

@@scottcohen1776 civilians aren’t at fault for the ways of politicians

[@scottcohen1776]

@Ashen1Always the civilians in Gaza are absolutely at fault. Not only did they vote for the government they have, but nearly the entire population was ecstatic when they rampaged through the Israeli countryside and festival. At some point, they have to take control of their destiny. They've been offered peace countless times and they always turn it down. They're goal is the eradication of all Jewish people in the Holy Land.

[@scottcohen1776]

@Ashen1Always at some point, the people in Gaza need to choose peace. They have approved of their government's actions.

Those poor people who were herded into those camps must have felt that the entire world had forgotten them. Much the same feeling as the poor innocent Palestinians must feel today !

now Auschwitz in Palest1ne..75 year camp still going on..so sad what happen there

[@hodaka1000]

The holocaust victims weren't firing missiles at the Nazis

[@jdestefa1]

By summer 1944, US B-17s were escorted to their targets in Germany, Poland, etc by P-51 fighters. The P-51s could have taken out the anti-aircraft weapons so the bombers could fly lower and attain better accuracy. Or the P-51s could have rocketed and strafed Auschwitz locations with great accuracy. Not to act was poor judgement by the Americans and British. I think most Auschwitz prisoners would have welcomed the bombing regardless.

[@ExcavationNation]

Wake up dude. This is 1944. The technology wasn't there to begin to comprehend the location. Zero Google maps. No way to locate the actual camp with any certainty. No cell phones. Not a video game. No magical pointer showing what buildings were what. And with no precision weapons.
