Your point is a straw man -- a false choice. There was never a choice between a.) attacking strategic targets and winning the war or b.) attacking rail lines and saving Jews.

False; the allies picked their targets and objectives; they were not cast in stone. The Jews, and other Gentile civilian victims, were simply not a priority to the Allies.

The Jews, and other Gentile civilian victims, were simply not a priority to the Allies.

Because these targets weren't going to help win the war. Ergo, they weren't valid choices.
