In fact, he offers that there were smaller planes that could have done it but were instead focused on tanks and the actual supply trains themselves.
I figured some people might do some research to look into it to see if they could find things that I couldn't. That wouldn't fit your narrative, though.
The posts about using military equipment to end the war, rather than save lives, is a decent answer, but I also just found out where people in our own government were antisemitic: [url=And last but certainly not least, antisemitism. The US Department of War and Department of State were filled with antisemites, particularly at the highest levels. Jewish concerns fell on deaf ears.][/url]
And then there's also this:
That points to the fact that I've been saying and that's that it's not like we'd be redirecting our entire air force to the destruction of the tracks and it wouldn't have taken many planes or resources to bomb them.
It would, however, take men and resources away from the Germans in order to repair them.
This site says that the allies knew about the Germans' attempt to exterminate the Jews as early as 1942.
That also contradicts most people's claims in this thread that the allies were unaware.
The information I have read reinforces what I and others have relayed to you. Would you believe it if I posted any of it.
