You chose to focus on “bogus” posts instead of the informative posts. I don’t see how recognizing that fact is an attack upon you.
Quote:False. I just call out Fred on bogus posts. Saying that he gets me all worked up fits your preconceived opinion about me.
Bogus. BS. What’s the difference? All I suggested was maybe you focus on Zona’s post instead of fred’s.
I don’t have preconceived opinions about your interactions with Fred. I have fully conceived notions based upon years of reading.
Quote:It wouldn't have taken a terribly large amount of time to plan a mission to bomb the tracks, especially since there is a photo from one plane's bomb hatch that shows the tracks below.
Time is a planning consideration, but this is a question regarding target priority.
Quote:Historians continue to search for answers, which you see on a simple Google search, yet you seem to think you know the answer.
My college history professor, who taught a class on the Holocaust, didn't have the answer, but you do?
Well, if you’re going to ignore Zona, doubt me, and call out fred’s bogus posts then I suggest you discuss this with your professor rather than a message board full of people less knowledgeable than your professor.
Quote:You act like it would have taken a large amount of resources to bomb some railroad tracks. The Germans would have had to fix them, occupying supplies and men, or they could have bombed them so badly that they couldn't be fixed, saving millions of lives.
Only 6 camps were death camps.
Bombing them also wouldn't have been an easy fix, especially if the land was badly destroyed.
We knew by 1941 (or 42 at the latest) because the Polish government was in exile in England and told of everything.
It would take German civilians less time to repair the train tracks in their own country than it would take the US to manufacture a new bomber, train a new crew, and ship the necessary fuel and munitions to a forward deployed theater.
Quote:If everything was done, why do historians still question why bombing the tracks didn't happen?
Historians. Not military planners.
