it doesn't mention gas, but rather the "the greatest and most horrible crime ever committed in the whole history of the world, and it has been done by scientific machinery by nominally civilised men in the name of a great State and one of the leading races of Europe" this is in reference to Hungarian Jews being deported
**Edit**In contrast to all other Allied governments, the
Brits were in the enviable situation of having cracked
the SS’s radio encryption code between January
1942 and January 1943. Hence, the British managed
to intercept and decipher all radio traffic between
German concentration camps and their Oranienburg
headquarters (see the entry on British Radio Inter-
cepts). Therefore, they knew that there was no trace
of any extermination policy in these intercepts, no
trace of any homicidal gassing, and that the Poles
were exaggerating the numbers of deported, incar-
cerated, perished and murdered victims.
To hide that they knew better, and also because it
served their purpose of vilifying the Germans, the
British nevertheless spread this type of Polish propa-
ganda through their media channels. However, when
it came to official communications, they inevitably
revealed a bit of the truth.
In August 1943, Poland’s government-in-exile
lobbied the British and American governments to is-
sue a public statement condemning “German terror
in Poland.” A draft for such a statement included ref-
erences to mass execution in gas chambers. That is
where Britain’s psychological warfare experts
stepped on the brake, vetoing this with clear words,
and succeeded in getting all these references re-
moved. Victor Cavendish-Bentinck, the Chairman of
the Allied Joint Intelligence Committee, stated in this
regard:
“In my opinion it is incorrect to describe Polish
information regarding German atrocities as
trustworthy’. The Poles, and to a far greater ex-
tent the Jews, tend to exaggerate German atroci-
ties in order to stoke us up. They seem to have
succeeded.
Mr Allen and myself have both followed Ger-
man atrocities quite closely. [This is the hint at
radio intercepts.] I do not believe that there is any
evidence which would be accepted in a Law Court
that Polish children have been killed on the spot
by Germans when their parents were being de-
ported to work in Germany, nor that Polish chil-
dren have been sold to German settlers.
As regards putting Poles to death in gas cham-
bers, I do not believe that there is any evidence
that this has been done. There have been many
stories to this effect, and we have played them up
in PWE rumours without believing that they had
any foundation. At any rate there is far less evi-
dence than exists for the mass murder of Polish
officers by the Russians at Katyn. On the other
hand, we do know that the Germans are out to de-
stroy Jews of any age unless they are fit for man-
ual labour.
I think that we weaken our case against the
Germans by publicly giving credence to atrocity
stories for which we have no evidence. These
mass executions in gas chambers remind me of
the stories of employment of human corpses dur-
ing the last war for the manufacture of fat, which
was a grotesque lie and led to the true stories of
German atrocities being brushed aside as being
mere propaganda.”
Remember that in 1944, there were multiple types of 'machinery' which were alleged to have been used, from 'lime trains of death', to 'steam and vacuum chambers', 'trap door executions', 'electrocution chambers' and more. It would seem here that, at worst, Churchill was reflecting these general 'Germain villainy' claims which he seems to have not recognized any further. Moreover, as Wahrheitssucher mentioned, this was allegedly written during the war (July 1944), which means the information was even more saturated with false and hostile propaganda advocating for increased Allied morale (and certain military action) in the form of anti-German narratives.bombsaway wrote: ↑Tue Jul 15, 2025 2:12 pm it doesn't mention gas, but rather the "the greatest and most horrible crime ever committed in the whole history of the world, and it has been done by scientific machinery by nominally civilised men in the name of a great State and one of the leading races of Europe" this is in reference to Hungarian Jews being deported
I think that nobody would still even try to claim that the 1st president of Israel was an objective & reliable source of truthful information regarding the Holohoax conspiracy theory, that is, Israel's founding myth. As accurate and factual as Israeli reports on Saddam's [nonexistent] weapons of mass destruction in 2003...
Absolutely - and this is compounded with "butcheries" in the very next sentence. A "butchery" invokes very different imagery than what the gassing story would eventually become.
Leaders write memoirs for the posterity of their constructed good reputation. So they ususally avoid the too-obvious-or-easily-debunked lies like the plague in their own memoirs. After WWII, Churchill, Eisenhower and De Gaulle hadn't forgotten that the biggest atrocity lies of WWI --- including the gas-chamber atrocity story !!! --- had all been debunked and publicly exposed as falsities only a few years after the end of the war. Endorsing the gas-chamber hoax in their memoirs (by definition, writings still read long after the wartime official statements and newspaper articles have been forgotten) would have exposed those much-revered war leaders to a high risk of public humiliation and tarnished reputation, and nobody likes being caught in a lie.Wahrheitssucher wrote: ↑Tue Jul 15, 2025 1:36 pm Above all, why didn’t either Churchill, Eisenhower or De Gaulle write ANY THING AT ALL about the alleged ‘mass gassings’ in the allegedly discovered ‘extermination camps’ in their memoirs?

there are gas related documents https://holocaustcontroversies.blogspot ... ts-on.html also see the FG report
That would have been bad. Look at Belsen as an example.Of course they could have bombed the rail lines into Auschwitz very easily with no risk to Camp detainees
were to guess why no t4 personnel were chosen to perform gassing that had experience with gassing, it would be because THERE WERE NONE.

Of course you are correct No rails, no food but that does not address the failure to broadcasting warnings.Stubble wrote: ↑Sat Jul 19, 2025 5:59 pm No rails, no food. Belsen is kind of a case in point.
Of course, they didn't have running water either, but, not being able to ship food into the camp after the destruction of the rail lines didn't help the situation at all.
Even if you assume internees were getting gassed, more things that internees were bring shipped on the rails, was my point.
