The possibility of killing prisoners while bombing the gas chambers seems stupid to me and like a cop-out because they were likely going to die anyways, especially if they could bomb the actual gas chambers, and we would have saved so many more lives.
Makes sense but it just doesn't seem like it would have detracted too much from the main war effort.
I don't think it was a cop out, I think there truly was a moral dilemma. Why is saving the life of one person worth the price of someone else's life? I get that you could have MAYBE saved more people in the long run, but there's no way of knowing that.
Even if the camps were bombed and destroyed I find it hard to believe the Nazis wouldn't find a new way to murder thousands of more jews a different way.
