You might want to check back later since I think we will be hearing Mr. Churchill’s radio broadcast mentioned on pg. 9.
Since I was late posting yesterday, the following bears repeating:
British Code Breakers"Despite Nazi attempts to keep secret the Einsatzgruppen extermination of Jews, news of mass murders did filter back into Germany and Allied countries.
Reports of the unimaginable Nazi atrocities were met with disbelief and skepticism, and were assumed to pertain to military actions involving Russian defense forces."The British government had detailed knowledge of the killings.
On August 24, 1941, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, in a radio address, made public the scope of Einsatzgruppen activities in Eastern Europe.
He disclosed that "whole districts" were being exterminated, and that "scores of thousands of executions in cold blood" were being perpetrated by "German police-troops upon the Russian patriots who defend their native soil."Churchill didn't mention that Jews were being exterminated.
He could not reveal this since it would have warned the Germans that British intelligence forces had cracked their secret radio codes."
