(?) air photo of Auschwitz II (Aug 23, 1944)
released  LONDON
- A huge British archive of World War II aerial
reconnaissance photos, including pictures of the
D-Day landings in Normandy, is to go on the
Internet on Monday.Under
the digitalization project announced Saturday,
some 5 million Royal Air Force photos of Western
Europe will be available to the public on the
Web site www.evidenceincamera.co.uk., archivists
said. The site did not appear to be accessible
on Saturday. 'These
images allow us to see the real war at first
hand &emdash; as if we are RAF pilots,' said
Allan Williams, head of the Aerial
Reconnaissance Archives project at Keele
University in north-central England. The
photos, a key source of intelligence for Allied
commanders during the war, include American
troops landing in Normandy on D-Day, the effects
of the bombing of Cologne, Germany, and the
German battleship Bismarck being hunted by the
Royal Navy. The
pictures were transferred to Keele University in
1962 from the Allied Central Interpretation
Unit, where wartime analysts studied the
material collected by reconnaissance crews. The
collection is the property of the national
Public Records Office on permanent loan to the
university. Before
the digitalization, using the photo archive had
meant a manual search through thousands of
boxes. The
Aerial Reconnaissance Archives, known as TARA,
expects later to release of 2.5 million
Luftwaffe German air force reconnaissance
photographs of Eastern Europe seized by the
Allies at the end of the war. A hand out
photograph dated August 23, 1944 and received on
January 17, 2004 from the Aerial Reconnaissance
Archives (TARA) at Keele University in north
west England, shows clouds of smoke coming from
the Auschwitz concentration camp during the
final months of World War Two. The image, which
shows the burning of mass funeral pits, is one
of more than five million RAF (Royal Air Force)
aerial photographs used by Allied commanders to
help devise their strategy during the six-year
conflict due to be made publicly available on
the internet on Monday.

Notice that the alleged & absurd 'gas
chambers' are neither mentioned nor shown. There's
no smoke from the crematoriums as
described...'blackening the sky'. The smoke from
the alleged 'mass funeral pits' does not look very
massive, but the storyline goes that 500,000 were
cremated in these pits...and ofcourse there is no
forensic physical evidence to back that story up.
Let's see what more the mentioned new website site
presents. also see: http://revforum.yourforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=506

Sun Jan 18, 2004: Yes, I saw that item on the TV news. Some
points: - Body-burning this late in the war? I thought
that the Nazis had knocked off all their six
million by then, and cremated the lot. I suppose
the inhuman monsters had to squeeze a few more
in...
- The TV news said that the photo showed the
massive crowds of people still massed in
Auschwitz. Now, that in itself refutes the
Holocaust: nothing else need be said. If the
Holocaust had occurred, the camp would be empty:
after all, four million people had died there by
the end of the war.
- Which Auschwitz is it? Birkenau or the main
one?

Sun Jan 18, 2004: A
hand out photograph dated August 23, 1944 and
received on January 17, 2004 from the Aerial
Reconnaissance Archives (TARA) at Keele
University in north west England, shows clouds
of smoke coming from the Auschwitz concentration
camp during the final months of World War Two.
The image, which shows the burning of mass
funeral pits, is one of more than five million
RAF (Royal Air Force) aerial photographs used by
Allied commanders to help devise their strategy
during the six-year conflict due to be made
publicly available on the internet on
Monday. This photo is important for both its contents
and its date. Although the Auschwitz "Chronicle"
[of Danuta
Czech] does not list any incoming
transports for August 23, 1944, the previous day
records the arrival of a transport of Jews from
Lodz and one from Mauthausen. The camp is known to
have been extremely overcrowded at this time. There is a famous August 25 aerial photo, one of
a series made public by the CIA in 1979, which
provides the best resolution shots of Krema II and
III, including, apparently, Zyklon B inlet hatches
and security fences. It is to be hoped that this
new photo (perhaps there are others) allows for
suitable magnification to compare whether the
inlets are similarly apparent. [Click
for August 25 photo enlargementThe new picture also includes the area of Krema
IV and V which is absent from the August 25 shot.
From the naked eye, Krema IV, thought to have been
out of action at this time, is surrounded by a
security fence of some description. It is difficult
to pinpoint exactly where the smoke in the region
of Krema V is billowing from. Also to determine
whether the apparent security fence extends around
to the north of the crematorium, to the region
where mass burnings are said to have occurred, as
depicted in the following 'spaghetti body' photo
supposedly taken in the same month, August
1944: [Click
