The Pope doesn’t understand anything about war tactics. Bombing just the tracks would have delayed the death trains by a few days, not longer, and thousands would have died by suffocation inside the cattle-cars (My relatives died in either Belzec and/or Auschwitz)
Bombing the main gates of Auschwitz or any other concentration camp, plus the administrative buildings, outer guard towers and the ovens, would have given the prisoners a possibility to escape (but to what/where) the camp.
It would have also killed a lost of Nazis/SS and perhaps a few Gestapo agents.
The prisoners had nothing to lose by the Allies bombing their camps, and possibly some might have escaped to join Partisan groups or flee to Russia (where they would have been rounded up like Begin and put into slave labor camps or put into the Red Army).
If only we had done something at that time. FDR and his advisors were the role model for Obama and his cowards/sissies and leftists) in NOT taking out ISIS when they were on the open roads of Iraq.
Says a lot, of the truth, about the cowardice of Democrat leaders, and that truth has been paid in a lot of blood.
As you speak, NatGeo channel had a series of programs on tonight: Bergen, Anne Frank, etc.
Sorry to hear about your relatives. Of the many things I can not understand one of the most baffling is that Jews in the US vote democrat. On almost anything I can seem to “get into a person’s mind” and understand their behavior. Not agree with, perhaps but understand. Jews voting democrat is just baffling.

This presumes the kind of pin-point accuracy existed back in WWII. The bombers of the day didn't have the capability to precision bomb as planes today.

In addition to a lot of the POWs.

True. We do have survivor accounts from some that hoped the bombers would have hit the camps to have ended the suffering.

From what I've read on the topic the Allies were aware of what was happening in the camps. FDR though did not want the war effort to be viewed as one of liberating the Jews. It would not have been a popular reason to fight the war.
