    What do aerial photographs of Auschwitz taken in 1944 by the U.S. Air Force demonstrate?

    Aerial photographs of the Auschwitz-Birkenau area taken by the Allies on 4 April, 26 July, 25 August and 13 September of that year tend to discredit the claims that Auschwitz was an extermination complex because there is no smoke from crematories or the like, although the photographs are quite clear and detailed and cover a large area. If such photographs would have revealed evidence of mass extermination of internees at the time, Allied air forces could have bombed the railway facilities leading to the camp and other facilities involved in such extermination. The photographs were published by the Central Intelligence Agency in 1979

    Reference: Journal of Historical Review, Vol. I, p18 and Vol. III, pp44-45. Historische Tatsachen Nr. 9, pp37-39, where some of the photgraphs are reproduced and discussed.
