Train lines are surprisingly hard to bomb and surprisingly easy to repair.

There was debate among the allies about whether to bomb the camps themselves.

Yeah. Why would they? The intelligence effort was directed towards winning the war, other finding missing persons.

Stop being so stupid.

They knew it was happening, although scale and exact details where difficult to confirm absolutely.

>Some Polish bad-ass got himself deliberately sent to Aushwitz, just so he could escape and provide a full intelligence report of what was happening

Because ending the war as quickly as possible would do much more to save lives than burning time and diverting resources on secondary targets and missions whose results could not be guaranteed.

Also, giving the strategic air forces tactical missions didn't tend to end well. See the pre-Normandy invasion railway bombings that killed 12,000 French and Belgian civilians, or the hundreds of American troops killed and wounded by short bombs beyond the beachheads when trying to use heavies for ground support.

You should probably read more about WW2. Or leave this board forever.

Why waste resources on shit that won't win you the war? Retard
