Long story short, europe got bombed to shit, fucktons of records got destroyed as a result, when they weren't already destroyed by those who made them in the first place, so that's why you have a statu quo when it comes to WWII and historical facts. Lots of hard evidence are missing essentially so you're left relying on "testimonies"
Now when it comes to death camps it's simple none have been liberated by the allies. That, is a fact https://pic8.co/sh/lU1Uvy.jpeg Legend: squares = extermination camps rounds = concentration camps round and square = mixed camps red = liberated by soviets blue = liberated by US green = liberated by brits
All death camps/extermination camps have been liberated by soviets... Oddly...
What american vets found, were lots of people dying of starvation and typhus in concentration camps, that's what they found. And then they were told it was intentional, it was a genocide, death camps etc...
Again, none of the allies have liberated any "death camp", and that's an historical fact
So the Russians made it up, I presume is the implication here?
I mean not without help from Americans. Propaganda didn't stop right after the war. In fact, the government pretty much kept on making it. The Holocaust was a nice story to tell to justify what had been done to Germany, and jews were only too happy to tell it. The USSR had paid a far higher price for the war than the US did and was thus that much more in need of propaganda. I mean who was there really to speak against it? US veterans hated Hitler before the Holocaust myth because they were supposed to. Just like they hated the Japanese and later Koreans and Vietnamese. And much later Afghanis and Iraqis. Absent any sympathy for jews, which most Americans did not have, Hitler was portrayed as a dictator-tyrant. Since Americans loved freedom.
As has been pointed out, history is written by the victors. That the Holocaust overshadows all the other atrocities of a World War should tell you who the real victors were.
Another thing to remember is people didn't have as free access to information before the Internet. In fact, during WW2 and immediately thereafter all media was censored by the US government. So not only would you be discredited if you told a different story, but the government might come after you, too. They had a lot to hide; not just the facts around the camps.
Maybe, maybe not... Who knows?
That being said, soviets weren't exactly famous for their truthful statements, quite the opposite actually
Well my thinking was that because the Bolshevik/commie leadership was mostly Jews, then…
I'm reading this right now http://radiochristianity.com/holocaust-deprogramming-course/ it's a looooong ass article with fucktons of references, and it really starts to get into the facts, after the series of quotes at the beginning
Soviet Russia was most honest government in world. If you disagree you can go straight to gulag.
Yes, just as they hid the Katyn Forest massacre of the Polish officer corps. This was exposed by the Germans, and widely disbelieved internationally.
