Mayfair, London W.1 Wednesday, January 26, 2005 To: The Guardian, London Auschwitz and Real Math YOUR dutiful Auschwitz report today is headed "Vast labour and death camp killed up to 6,000 a day." Perhaps true, but it's hard to square this with the standard Auschwitz folklore that has the 445,000 Jews deported from Hungary being killed there in the first three weeks of May 1944. And small beer compared with the bombing holocausts in
Hamburg, Dresden, Brunswick, Darmstadt, Pforzheim, etc.,
where we killed tens of thousands in the space of one or two
hours each time. "Bomber" Harris told me once (right) that given the choice between being gassed, or burned alive with your family by fire bombs, he knew which he would choose every time. |
