At least take a look at the map and check the timing of those drops over Warsaw before you start running your mouth and make a fool of yourself ,... Auschwitz, Birkenau, Sobibor, Majdanek 4 largest camps were over 300 kilometers further away from Allien's airbases than Warsaw, that's 650 kilometers counting round trip ,... One more time, what makes you think you're so important that the Allies should have dropped everything in burning Europe and start saving Jews while your leaders and yourself have done nothing? ,...

The bases from which the Allies operated to drop supplies on the Polish Home Army in 1944, were in ITALY (Celone, Foggia, Brindisi), hundreds of km closed to Auschwitz (SOUTHERN Poland) than to Warsaw (east-central Poland)...exactly the opposite of what you say. The Warsaw Airlift proved to be largely in vain and of almost no practical benefit to the war effort by the Western allies. So who are you to say that bombing the extermination camps and railway lines to Auschwitz would have been a pointless diversion?

Your list is a proof that they concentrated on strategically important objects leaving thousands of other targets like factories or bridges alone concentrating exclusively on priorities leading to shorten the war, reduce the uniformed casualties and win. WWII that's over 60 million victims not just the Jews so what makes you think that the Jewish dude in concentration camp was more important than bomber's crew the soldier fighting Germans or other civilians providing information or engaged in fight?. Silesia was the most defended area in German occupied territories those air rides took heavy loses, 1 out of 4 bombers never came back.. One more thing you happen not to notice it's the fact that Red Army needed those railways to fight Germans. Stalin refused any cooperation with Allies on territories already conquered and east from Berlin that is to share the airfields and refueling airplanes ,... At the time you're talking about accusing Allies of heartless indifference your zionist leaders in Palestine coined a deal with Eichmann and loaded 600.000 Hungarian Jews on trains on one way trip to Auschwitz. How dare you to point a finger at anyone and accuse of anything with all those skeletons in your own closet? Get a life ,... Just to remind you there was another war with Japanese where every bomber and crew were more needed than over Auschwitz - You folks have to get off the lecturing pulpit and forget this anointed/chosen nation among nations fairy tale crap ,... By the way the Germans had an equipment and crews no further than one hour from each other fixing in hours the railways damaged by Polish underground.

Exactly to get thru over the heavy defended Silesia it had to be done at night only 4 airplanes made it and only 3 directly over Warsaw not to mention that part of the drop fell on Soviet occupied side. That was the only attempt with weapons and equipment they got there only after installing additional fuel tanks.

You're fudging the facts again. 4 planes? 360 airman lost their lives during the Warsaw airlift to help the Polish Home Army. Silesia was only one of the routes. But to reach Auschwitz from the Italian airfields there would have been no need to fly over Silesia; the route is over Slovakia. And the Allies conducted a number of successful bombing raids in the Auscwitz area. There's no point of further discussion. You're letting ugly antisemitism get in the way of your ability to process facts.

Google 'Pomoc z nieba dla powstańców - Fakt.pl', click on 'Translate this page' and read ,... The drops you mention were directed to AK (Home Army) underground everywhere in occupied Poland except over Warsaw. Those 4 airplanes got there only because the Polish crews disobeyed the orders not because that was their destination ,... The most reliable theory speculate that the Allies changed their orders because the Soviets 'camping' across the Vistula river didn't want them to intervene and let the Poles be finished by Germans and bleed themselves as much as possible to make it easier for Reds to pass the River on the way to Berlin ,... At least I see that you did some digging trying to get to the bottom of it, others never bothered and point their finger knowing a zilch on this subject ,... Have a good one
