You left out: The Allies did not want to risk their own lives, to lay down their lives, to save Jewish victims and refugees.

For this to be true, then no camps would have been liberated by the Allies. But they were. Thus your contention in #5 is not only incorrect and wrong it is libelous. Allied soldiers lives were willingly risked and lost in the liberation of Jews and other concentration camp inmates.

You and your Pope are wrong on this issue. While it didn't meet your unrealistic, unachievable timeframe it happened as soon as it was practicable.

False

True

False

True, the Russians were liberating camps in the summer of '44 but most of the Jews were already murdered. The British and Americans liberated camps in April, 1945. There may have been incidental casualties around the camps but I'm not aware of any battles. The Germans surrendered on May 7. At Buchenwald, for example, the prisoners seized control of the camp before the American forces arrived.

Tell it to the Judge.
