TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF METHODS TO BOMB THE GAS CHAMBERS AT AUSCHWITZ

RICHARD FOREGGER

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The paper discusses in detail what would have been the technical requirements for a mission to attack and destroy the gas chambers and crematoria at the Birkenau concentration camp in the summer of 1944. Information essential to a bombing operation, including the size, shape, structure, construction details, and exact location of the target, is given. Several aerial bombing tactics which might have been used in the mission are evaluated. Casualties to airmen and prisoners are estimated.
