Answer:

Because they were both racing to be the country with better more advanced weapons.

Explanation:

This is still somewhat going on today, but a prime example would be the Cold War, this war was considered to be a "deadly arms race" because each side was "racing" to develop better nuclear weaponry first, because in theory the country who holds the best weapons is going to be intimidating enough that no other country would mess with them. the US and Soviets were two global powers that were based on different political views (democracy and communism) and so the one with better weapons would be able to spread their views worldwide because the opposing force would be too scared to intervene. It was considered "Deadly" because in the art of nuclear warfare, nobody wins, both sides no matter who strikes first, will be extremely devestated.

Why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into Poland? Why were the tracks leading to Birkenau never bombed? I have put t

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Historically, the primary reason the lines leading to Birkenau were never attacked was due to a lack of political resolve to do so, and not because bombing operations were unimportant. When the gas chambers were operational in 1941, the majority of the concentration camps were located out from the range of Allied bombers and German air defenses.

The Allied Forces knew about the detention camps by June 1944, and the German air defenses were on the decline. Bomber efficiency is improving. The railroads were still intact. Every day, thousands of Jewish are processed in these centers.

Historians agree that the Nazis would still murder the Jews even without the concentration camps. The mobile death squads were among the most prolific extermination organizations of the Nazis. Even though the bombs wouldn't halt the murders, the Allied focused on the bombings of military camps and industrial areas in order to undermine Germany's war operations.

Explanation:

Railways were an important component of the Holocaust and Nazi activities. Information on the camps was only accessible after the war had ended. They felt that the costs would exceed the advantages of bombing the railroads. Millions of Jews had already been gassed.

Had the Allied Forces simply bombed the railroads once they had the intelligence, many lives might have been spared. They only needed political will and a commitment to social duty, regardless of the personal dangers, in order to put a stop to the camps' deadly activities.

Soviet forces were the major Allied soldiers in the Eastern Front, where they committed genocide of their own people. Stalin also has anti-Semitic inclinations. We may be certain that he didn't bomb the railroads and let the Germans continue to use the extermination camps.

Hope this helps, if so would you mind saying thanks?
