False.  I just call out Fred on bogus posts.  Saying that he gets me all worked up fits your preconceived opinion about me. 

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.

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?

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.

If everything was done, why do historians still question why bombing the tracks didn't happen?

So there were 6 dedicated "death camps". This does NOT delegitimize the thousands of other detention facilities located all around Europe at the time. There were over 42,500 ghetto's back then where people were killed, starved, beaten and all manner of horrible things happening to them on a massive scale. Just bombing the tracks to Auchwitz and a few others still wouldn't have made a dent in what was going on at the time and would have dragged the war on for several more years and very likely resulted in the deaths of far more people. The goal of allied forces was not to save Jews. The goal was to win the war at all costs and destroy the Nazi war making apparatus in it's entirety. Like it or not Jews were not a popular group to try to defend in the 1920s, 1930s nor the 1940s. To the powers that be at the time Jews were mere casualties of war as were millions of ordinary German, Russian, French, English and many other nationalities. No major powers of the day were going to cease the offensive war against Germany to protect anyone much less the Jews of Europe.
You can look for any reason you want to justify whatever you want and it still isn't going to make the powers at the time go back and say, "Oh gee...maybe we should have flown a few missions to bomb the tracks to Auchwitz and other death camps and forget about defeating Germany for awhile." when at that point in time millions of others were getting killed for several other reasons. It was simply low priority at the time and wouldn't have changed the outcome of defeating Nazi Germany. Any other ad hominem attacks at people on this board is you trying to make your initial post look far more legitimate than it ever should have been in the first place.
