SEE PHOTO----- COMPLETE, ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER, the York Daily Dispatch (PA) dated July 26, 1979. This newspaper contains a front page heading: "BRITAIN - JEWS" with news of a new book published by a Jewish organization stating publicly the failure of Great Britain to bomb the Nazi Death Camp of AUSCHWITZ during THE HOLOCAUST , even after being ordered to do so by Prime Minister WINSTON CHURCHILL. The issue of why the Auschwitz concentration camp was not bombed by the Allies during World War II continues to be explored by historians. The British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, did not see bombing as a solution, given that bombers were inaccurate and would also kill prisoners on the ground. The land war would have to be won first. Bombers were used against German cities and to carpet-bomb the front lines. According to Martin Gilbert, Churchill pushed for bombing. Concerning the concentration camps, he wrote to his Foreign Secretary on July 11, 1944: "... all concerned in this crime who may fall into our hands, including the people who only obeyed orders by carrying out these butcheries, should be put to death ..." The British Air Ministry was asked to examine the feasibility of bombing the camps and decided not to for "operational reasons," which were not specified in wartime. In August 1944, 60 tons of supplies were flown to assist the uprising in Warsaw and, considering the dropping accuracy at that time, were to be dropped "into the south-west quarter of Warsaw." For various reasons, only seven aircraft reached the city. Very good condition. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it. STEPHEN A.
