Why bomb Auschwitz? Wouldn't that kill the very people you hoped to save? Neither the US nor Great Britain had the capacity to do precision bombing - the bombs were not guided. The British flew at night, so could not even see the death camps at night. Factories and refineries are lit up like cities at night. The Americans flew during the day, but flew high up to lessen being shot from the ground, and thus were unable to hit anything but the largest targets, and even then, the fraction of bombs that actually hit the targets were miniscule. That's why the Allies did carpet-bombing. Would you rather that Auschwitz was carpet-bombed?
