1982 Book, AUSCHWITZ AND THE ALLIES by Martin Gilbert, WWII

Description: 1982 Book, AUSCHWITZ AND THE ALLIES by Martin Gilbert, WWII You are considering a paperback book, AUSCHWITZ AND THE ALLIES by Martin Gilbert; PUBLISHER: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, New York; a 1982 copyright; 368 pages. When Hitler announced that the result of the war in Europe would be 'the complete annihilation of the Jews', he did so in 1942, not only in public, but before an enormous crowd in Berlin. The Allies heard, but, astonishingly, they did not listen. In 1944, Allied reconnaissance pilots, searching out industrial targets in the area, repeatedly photographed Auschwitz. The pictures, apparently overlooked by the Allies, were routinely filed in government archives and not examined until 1979. First-hand reports on the horrors of the death camps came to the West by 1944 in the person of two escaped Auschwitz prisoners. Their testimonies, and those of subsequent escapees, were either ignored or dismissed. Despite the fact that, the same year, Churchill himself had ordered feasibility studies for air strikes on Auschwitz, the RAF not only did nothing, but eventually passed the buck to the Americans, who also did nothing. This book explains the reasons why. CONDITION: Cover is creased. Minor cover wear. No other known damage. Items paid by Paypal can only be mailed to the address shown on the Paypal payment. I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience, but this is a Paypal rule, not me trying to be difficult. If you wish to have the package sent to a different address, change the "ship to" before making payment. I combine shipping whenever possible. PAYPAL REQUIRES UNIQUE TRACKING NUMBERS FOR each PAYMENT. If you buy a book, then make payment, then buy another book and make payment, I must ship each separately so we have two tracking numbers. If you wish to have items combined to reduce shipping costs, request an invoice after you have made all your purchases. Multiple Paypal payments means multiple packages--again, it's a Paypal rule, not me being difficult. We are not set up for LOCAL pick-up. We've tried it in the past and had too many "no shows". Our schedules can be erratic, so please allow us to mail your package. This is a non-smoking home. Most of my items are antique or vintage and have been purchased at estate sales and auctions. I am not aware of how the item has been stored or used before I received it. I do not purchase items with odors...whether from pets, smoking, dampness or just "old house". Packages mailed to Illinois addresses will be charged Illinois sales tax. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: International shipping duties, import fees and/or charges are NOT INCLUDED in the item price or its shipping charges. These type of charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office prior to buying/bidding to determine any additional costs. I will not mark a lower value or an item as a "gift" on the custom form.
