lol, someone has never heard of the Butts Report. As late as late 1942, three years into British bombings, the RAF determined that their CEP for night bombings was five miles. They could barely hit the city at all, much less a factory inside it.

Neither. About 1 million died as a result of Einsatzgruppen, a cause which cannot be laid at the feet of the Allies in any case. Invoices show the shipment of Zyklon-B to Auschwitz, Birkenau, and other death camps which murdered millions. The destruction of German transportation was only effected in late 1944-early 1945, after the active operations at most death camps ceased.

This is nonsense. Einstein fits your definition, yet no one labels him a Holocaust survivor. Many others as well.

Again, rot. If you'd like a slapdown, just ask. I'll be happy to provide source material. Somehow, though (I wonder why?) I don't think you're really interested in the truth of the matter. I think you're pushing an agenda.

In the past 20 years there have been massive numbers of memoirs written about the camps, some of which turned out to be false.

Oh, dear. Some few fabricate false narratives, and that undermines the entire body of evidence? Some Americans claimed to be native Americans when they weren't. Does that obviate the genocide we practiced here?
I think you're a Holocaust denier, but lack the balls to admit as much. At least the assholes marching in Charlottesville were honest enough to march under an open flag. You, on the other hand, strike me as a Holocaust version of a concern troll -- pretending to fight against Holocaust deniers while reposting their views uncritically.
Whether or not you are such, the fact that you repost those posts uncritically and are apparently unable to review the history for yourself marks you as a deficient thinker and unworthy of serious consideration. If you really cared about the issue you would take the time to inform yourself prior to engaging in discussion over it, and certainly prior to engaging in argument about it. The fact that you are happy to argue from ignorance says much more about you than your arguments themselves ... though they say much about you as well.
Give us some more of that old-time Catholicism, kid. Fly that flag. You're feeding the atheist narrative.
