Did the Allies know more than they liked to admit about the Nazi factories of death? Could they have done more to stop the horrors?

The Nazi extermination camps at Auschwitz in Poland were captured in extraordinary detail in aerial photographs. Bizarrely, the photographs were taken purely by accident. The site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau was only 8km from an oil and rubber plant – priority targets for Allied bombers.

The aerial photographs captured the horrors of Auschwitz including the gas chamber, the crematorium and the commandants quarters. From these photos it’s possible to see how the SS organised this factory of death, murdering over 12,000 people every day.

The film raises some disquieting questions. If Allied aircraft could photograph the concentration camps, why did they not destroy them?

If the Bush administration couldn't properly identify sites for WMDs how could a commander during WW2 be certain of the camp's atrocities or that killing everyone was a good idea?
