'Pin Point Bombing' Was not Ordered: From April, to December, 1944, at least 40 air missions flew from Foggia, Italy, directly over (as in above air photo), or very close to, Auschwitz-Birkenau. These varied from air photo sorties with fast Mosquito planes, to bombing and supply missions with hundreds of heavy bombers and fighter escorts. At any time from April to December, 1944, Mosquito twin-engined fighters, could have flown undetected at 9,000 metres (30,000 feet) elevation, and swooped down to bomb the Birkenau cremation buildings, or other buildings, at tree-top height. At 4,000 hp, Mosquitos were capable of out running any German fighter until the advent of the jet propelled ME-262 fighters in late 1944. This type of 'pin-point bombing' raid had been successfully used in operations such as the Amiens, France prison raid on February 18th, 1944, where inmates, who were scheduled for executions starting February 19th, escaped through holes blown in the prison walls. Conclusions: Allied military leaders in England and America attempted to confirm the mass murder rumours reported in the western media, by analyzing Birkenau air photos received each month beginning April, 1944, and by consulting with military leaders. Had military leaders believed there was the slightest possibility that mass murders were occurring at Birkenau, or Auschwitz I, the evidence suggests they would have ordered bombing of the alleged murder buildings. Evidence suggests the reason Birkenau was not bombed is that the mass murder rumours could not be confirmed, and were dismissed as war-time propaganda. |
