I've heard that many of the German holdouts and concentration camps were too well-defended for the Allies to take over, so they ended up simply cutting off all the supply lines, starving everyone inside, Germans and Jews both. That claim rings true to me. Many of the pictures of the piles of dead "poor, tortured and executed jews" also had dead German soldiers in them.
This claim alone is one that does make it reasonable to question the stated number of victims to German gas chambers, and yet, some people in power would want to prosecute you for "antisemitism" if you vocalize this.
Yeah I don't know about that. Why would the Germans defend concentration camps particularly well? They were open air prisons with no military value, not factories or anything productive. If anything, the Germans would be happy to make the prisoners the Allies' problem and save themselves the trouble of trying to supply them.
