‘I understood before that we were not aware of what was going on until our forces stumbled upon them. How could we have bombed what we did not know existed?”
The soldiers didn’t know but our leadership did. There were reports of what was happening by people who escaped and the underground. The decision was made to focus elsewhere as the best way to end the war.
Allied pilots fired on the bunkers with the notion that they were enemy bunkers. On closer inspections the firing stopped anf they figured out they were labor camps.
I don’t see what the problem is.
The way it worked out seem to work.
They were liberated, the atrocity was prosecuted and many survived to share their stories with future generations.
Our brave men and the brave men of tha allied forces are to thank.
I never think of how it should have been accomplished. It already happened.
I always think of how great it was that they were liberated.
