Babi Yar Air Photos

My eyes. I can see that the distance is too far to make out what was being burnt to cause any smoke, or if people were being shot. Maybe your eyes are better.

Your eyes are not an authority on the usefulness of aerial reconnaissance photographs, especially given your age.

I do not believe that anyone could make out what is being burnt, or people being shot, from the height the photos were taken.

Argument from incredulity and appeal to personal opinion. Try again, Nessie. You can't authoritatively assert things based on fallacies and personal opinion and then expect people to just believe you. Come on.

Anyone viewing the aerial photos will agree with me and think you are making rather strange arguments. You would not be able to say what was being burnt or if people were being shot, from those aerial photos.

Again, argument from incredulity. Try again without the fallacy.

Tellingly, that's not a photo of Babi Yar, nor is the question whether or not one can identify what is being burnt, but whether or not any human activity is taking place whatsoever, let alone burnings. Awkwardly, the aerial photos of Babi Yar show no such activity at all, despite an allegedly massive operation for cremating corpses being carried out.

Can you show evidence of an aerial photo that was taken on a day the graves were being exhumed and corpses cremated?

That's already been done for the photo in the OP. Right time, right place, not there.

The aerial photos of Babi Yar were taken on a day when a massive corpse cremation operation was allegedly underway, despite the aerial photos showing no sign whatsoever of this supposed operation.

Which means there was no activity at the time the planes flew over, or activity was suspended.

This is what I mean when I say you've fundamentally misunderstood the historical method. You've just been confronted with evidence that the mass cremation operation at Babi Yar never happened. Just claiming without evidence that "activity was suspended" isn't how science or history works, you do realize that, right? In this thread alone you've been guilty of multiple basic fallacies, including most egregiously argument from incredulity.

One aerial photo is not enough to prove there were no mass exhumations and cremations at Babi Yar.
