1960s or movies from 2010. Anyone can tell tall tales later ... even at
trials.
Fortunately there's evidence from 1943, right from mouth of one of the
leading genocidal maniacs.
"I am now referring to the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the
Jewish people. It's one of those things that is easily said: 'The Jewish
people are being exterminated', says every party member, 'this is very
obvious, it's in our program, elimination of the Jews, extermination, we're
doing it, hah, a small matter.' [...] But of all those who talk this way,
none had observed it, none had endured it. Most of you here know what it
means when 100 corpses lie next to each other, when 500 lie there or when
1,000 are lined up. To have endured this and at the same time to have
remained a decent person - with exceptions due to human weaknesses - had
made us tough. This is a page of glory never mentioned and never to be
mentioned. [...] We have the moral right, we had the duty to our people to
do it, to kill this people who wanted to kill us."
- Heinrich Himmler, from a speech given at Posen Town Hall, October 4, 1943
"I ask of you that that which I say to you in this circle be really only
heard and not ever discussed. We were faced with the question: what about
the women and children? - I decided to find a clear solution to this problem
too. I did not consider myself justified to exterminate the men - in other
words, to kill them or have them killed and allow the avengers of our sons
and grandsons in the form of their children to grow up. The difficult
decision had to be made to have this people disappear from the earth. For
the organisation which had to execute this task, it was the most difficult
which we had ever had. [...] I felt obliged to you, as the most superior
dignitary, as the most superior dignitary of the party, this political
order, this political instrument of the Fuhrer, to also speak about this
question quite openly and to say how it has been. The Jewish question in the
countries that we occupy will be solved by the end of this year. Only
remainders of odd Jews that managed to find hiding places will be left
over."
- Heinrich Himmler, from a speech given at Posen Town Hall, October 6, 1943

it 20 years on. You prove it from photos, reports, registers, orders and
other records created at the time of Dresden's holocaust.
Winston Churchill and Arthur Travers Harris made no bones about
obliterating Dresden, Hamburg, etc. etc. The NAZI made GREAT EFFORTS do
disguise the activities of their Einsatzgruppen on the eastern front, not
to mention places like Treblinka and Sobibor which, unlike Auschwitz, were
dedicated death camps.
Now why do you s'pose that is?
Prob'ly the same reason that Heinrich Himmler, along so many leading nazis,
committed suicide:
