I’m surprised you don’t have another one of your imaginary bar fight stories about this topic where you seriously assault a stranger in a bar and receive back slaps and free beer all night for your efforts.
The most poignant one I’ve left till last, one set of the shoes had fresh flowers on it when I went. It was blazing hot, so they couldn’t have been more than a day old. Someone is still suffering the pain of that barbaric cruelty, and unimaginable horror.
The third picture mentions arrow cross militiamen - Nyilaskeres. It is worth noting that around 20% of Hungarians voted for their successors in 2018 parliamentary elections. And no, it wasn’t a reaction to the migrant crisis as the neo-Nazis were making steady gains before that, only then they were claiming to be “friends of Palestine”.
What the hell are you liking my post for when I basically spelled out that the Nazis murdered people at a much more furious post than you are calling possible?
As to why the Allies didn’t bomb the camps, many were beyond the easy range of Western Allied bombers, which was most of the bombing, and there was a shroud of secrecy as many weren’t allowed to simply walk near a camp. It wasn’t until late in the war when a rabbi was allowed to fly into Berlin and have a face to face talk with Hitler that it really sank in to the outside world that there really was an extermination policy. I think the rabbi was allowed a whif of Cyclone B fumes to get a better scope of the situation.
i think I remember from my readings that the camps were, and more particularly at a fast rate late in the war, when the Nazis didn’t want as many of their enemies alive, gassing thousands, maybe tens of thousands, per day.
And I think it was Thunderbolt a bit back who said the Nazis kept records of all this themselves.
They kept meticulous records of everything, and when buildings keeping them were in danger of being bombed a lot of it was moved to an abandoned salt mine, there would be no mouldering because of the salt.
One early indication the Allies had that at least the concentration camps were terrible occurred when an IBM technician actually went inside a camp to service the system used to record the reasons people were there, Jewish, homosexual, Jehovah’s Witness etc, and other information.
