No, I do not. Perhaps some other Freepers can help you. If you have relevant sources in German, Google ca translate them.

Something else strike me. You call the inmates of Auschwitz extermination camps "prisoners". I find it objectionable because it implies that Auschwitz was a prison. it was not, it was Nazi extermination camp.

Some two million people from all over Europe perished there. Many would be saved if the rail lines and railway depots leading to Auschwitz were destroyed by aerial bombardment. Without the synthetic rubber, there would be no tires for Luftwaffe airplanes nor tires for Wehrmacht trucks and they could not fly or drive.

Auschwits was a prison camp so calling the people who were there prisoners is appropriate. Birkenau was the death camp. It's in Schindler's List. Oh boy, I know petronski wishes he had posting rights again otherwise he'd be all over this thread.
