Again, Zona gave you a logical and thorough explanation of strategic and tactical bombing which explained why the train tracks to the concentration camps had less priority than targets which would end the war more quickly and ultimately save more lives.
You can’t refute that targets with a greater tactical or strategic importance had a higher priority to bomb. Thus they were bombed instead of what you have suggested.
Quote:All of those targets also had a lot of planes defending them. There were hundreds of miles of tracks. We didn't need to let them know that we were even attacking the tracks, much-less a specific spot. You think it's going to be easy to take planes off where they are already attacking or defending and say "quick, so guard these tracks"?
The Allies didn’t let them know what they were attacking and yet they suffered losses of approximately 30%.
Quote:They also wouldn't need to fly as high, making it easier to bomb the tracks.
Thus exposing them to more effective anti-aircraft and ground fire increasing their losses thus reducing their ability to bomb targets of greater military importance which may have increased the time it took to defeat Germany.
Quote:The inability of them too ship mass numbers of Jews to their deaths at camps.
It's pretty well known that the US turned a blind eye to it all.
What else could happen to the mass numbers of Jews (and others) heading to the camps?
It also became well-known in 1941 (some day 42) what was going on, and the mass number of murders happened after that.
In the case of Auschwitz, the Allies weren’t in a position to bomb it until April 1944 providing a window of about seven months to bomb it after most of the murders had occurred. While bombing targets near one of the concentration camps, the Allies accidentally killed or injured over 1000 of the Jewish prisoners in the camp without destroying the camp or degrading its ability to carry out its purpose.
