The OP is a typical denier. I would say they are probably a NAZI skinhead as well. They expect they can obfuscate the facts with long winded passages of basically nothing but personal conjecture. No facts, no proof, only opinion and what if's. The OP has ignored history, they have failed to peruse the NAZI's own records and footage which clearly tell the history of the death camps. I do not understand why this thread is allowed and the OP is not banned. The NAZIS tried to defend themselves in trials at Nuremburg. I am including a link so the OP may familiarize themselves with history as it is PROVEN to have taken place.

Anyway, they had top notch intelligence and sat recon pictures of concentration camps.
History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I.
So, you say that I've presented no facts. Have you? One definition of the word fact is as followes:
truth or reality of something: the truth or actual existence of something, as opposed to the supposition of something or a belief about something.
Maybe it will be more clear if I give you the legal definition of the word fact:
actual course of events: the circumstances of an event or state of affairs, rather than an interpretation of its significance

Tell me, did the Allied forces play any part in the death of internees? Did the allied forces manipulate the actual course of events inside the concentration camps by halting the food, medicine, clothing, etc.. that was to be delivered? This is the right question.
In 1965, after a report by Dr. Helmut Krausnick, director of the Institute for Contemporary History in Munich, the Court of Assize in Düsseldorf concluded that the minimum number of people killed in Treblinka was 700,000.

The OP forgot to add the part about numbers tats on the holocaust victims that if they actually lived they could forever be identified and persecuted as Jews.
I wonder many times what people’s real motives are when they deny the holocaust. I do not see much on old Stalin's 20 million killed by his actions.

Do you mean they had satellite recon pictures?
That would be odd, as the first satellite wasn't launched until 1957.

Kinda makes me question your grasp of history.

What I find sad is the official number killed is 6 million and there are people who argue that ONLY 3 million were killed.
Even if the actual number is lower than 6 million it is still a major tragic event in world history. I also wonder about those who did not die but whose lives were utterly ruined by the Nazis, anyone care to put a number to that?

This is yet another reason why I am skeptical about our real involvement with WWII and the Nazis. Going by the standard logic of cui prodest ("who stands to gain?") - it seems that the United States gained the most from WW2. Using the second most common form of logic - "follow the money," predominant American businessmen and politicians are again linked to the Nazi party.

This is pretty much the worst blame America thread that I have seen in a while. I do not believe this thread is anymore than one giant troll attempt. These points have already been discussed in other holocaust threads anyway. No need for a new one. Use the search engine.

Where do we look? All we have is records, papers, and a dwindling amount of personal recollections. All i can see you doing is speculating. I read your entire post hoping that you would say something, a piece of evidence or at least a theory of some kind, but this is just yet more holocaust denier rhetoric.
You're asking us to run with the theory that "it might just have happened totally different than history teaches us, except nobody noticed the coverup" It's a pretty big ask, thumbsdown.
edit: Oh and why did you write indisputable in the thread title? Speculation is 100% disputable.

None of this is as important as the action...
What effects does the destroying of supply lines to concentration camps holding upwards of 250,000 people have - and what actions caused the disruption?
One group, about three-quarters of the total, went to the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau within a few hours; they included all children, all women with children, all the elderly, and all those who appeared on brief and superficial inspection by an SS doctor not to be fully fit. In the Auschwitz Birkenau camp more than 20,000 people could be gassed and cremated each day. At Birkenau, the Nazis used a cyanide gas produced from Zyklon B pellets, which were manufactured by two companies who had acquired licensing rights to the patent held by IG Farben.

Why didn't they just shoot everyone? Why didn't they kill everyone? Why were there survivors? Survivors of what? you ask.
Sorry if not everyone got a casket.
Sorry if we had to dig mass graves and throw the bodies in there.
Sorry if we have to execute some people who had highly communicable disease, or send others into the "forbidden zone" to protect the healthy body of inmates.
Sorry we don't have any supplies, the axis forces have been bombing our supply line.
Sorry we couldn't feed you.
We had to be efficient and systematic to protect the healthy internees. They survived well.
"Thanks Germany! It was the thought that counted. Sorry history took a dump on you!"
