—a section of SIS - known as MI19 - secretly recorded no fewer than 64,427 conversations between captured German generals and other senior officers, all without their knowledge or even suspicion.—

If the U.S. had done that, the ACLU would be screaming bloody murder, and dragging the intelligence officials

If the U.S. had done that, the ACLU would be screaming bloody murder,
and dragging the intelligence officials before Congressional committees.

I think that actually...we did.
I can't track down the show, but IIRC, in a documentary it was mentioned
that for some German POWs, they'd get an interview, then be allowed
time in a room with one of their fellow POWs.

Apparently, the POWs would often "ease up" after their "interrogation"
and talk fairly freely with their comrades...all being recorded without
their knowledge.
And, like in civilian police investigations...sometimes one of
the comrades was a German that had been "turned" and was assisting
in getting a particular POW to spill beans.

Sorry I can't remember the show; I think it was on The History Channel.

OH, and an interesting sidebar about the ACLU is that to some degree
they hadn't gone totally stark raving nuts while the war was on.
IIRC, only the Northern California chapter of the ACLU lifted a finger
to represent some of the Japanese-American detainees...
which elicited a threat from ACLU headquarters to eject that
chapter from the ACLU.

Why have they been sitting on these recordings so very long. Because, the people who had this information knew about the Holocaust in 1942 and 1943 it sounds like. So, not only are the Nazi denials made false by these recordings, but so are the denials of the Allies.

They knew full well what was going on and decided to keep it quiet. But, then they had all of this evidence of what they knew.. and decided to keep it secret for the next 60 years. This really stinks.
