The German and Polish citizenry knew the Jews, Gypsies and others were being rounded up and taken off and no one saw or heard from them again. Then, there were rumors... That is correct and the rumors were common talk at the Stammkneipe over the beer. Just like common talk used to be that Ulriche Meinhof (Baader-Meinhof, Red Brigade et al) most likely "had been helped" to hang herself in the Stammheim jail. Imagine those guys had taken over and we non socialists had claimed we didn't know their party members were being "murdered" when that was common talk in every beer joint... Add to that, David Irving produced documents from some of the first Jew transports to Baltikum, that the trains also held enough supplies to keep them alive for a long time. Now would you expect those Germans on ever smaller food rations who knew this believing that those first transports went to extinction camps?? I dispute the common idea that the common German knew the Holocaust was taking place during the war. Yes, "there were rumors..." Always easy to be clever in hindsight. I thank God I wasn't one of those Germans "in denial". Taro
