I don’t know about clickbait, but I never believed the story [i.e., “LIE”] that the Allies didn’t know anything about the DEATH CAMPS before soldiers stumbled upon them.
I’ll check out the vid later.
My step grandfather was an American jew with connections. He knew and tried to join up. Too old.
I have no doubt that Roosevelt and other higher-ups had received many reports about the camps and eventually, they believed them, but I'm not sure we could've got there any quicker though.

The first thing that you see when you enter Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust museum and memorial, is a reconnaissance photo taken by an American aircraft of the Auschwitz-Burkenau camp complex. It was taken because some coal gasification plant that we wanted to bomb which was located about 5 miles away. The photograph specifically identifies guard and prisoner barracks, gas chambers and crematoria - and that identification was done by the U.S. AAF at the time, not afterwards by Israel or anyone else. The picture is there to show, beyond any doubt, that the U.S. in particular, as well as the allies, knew exactly what was going on.
I also attended Georgetown University and had a class in 1981 or 1982 in which we had a substitute professor on one occasion. His name was Jan Karski, and he was a Polish Army officer who had seen the extermination camps with his own eyes, and reported back to the allies, having directly reported his observations to both Churchill and Roosevelt. Here’s more on Karski: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Karski
Yeah, we fucking knew and didn’t do ANYTHING.
