Statement by Head of British Intelligence about gas-chamber stories Public Record Office Document, FO 371/34551

27 August, 1943

“In my opinion it is incorrect to describe Polish information regarding German atrocities as “trustworthy.’ The Poles, and to a far greater extent the Jews, tend to exaggerate German atrocities in order to stoke us up. They seem to have succeeded.

Mr Allen and myself have both followed German atrocities quite closely. I do not believe that there is any evidence which would be accepted in a Law Court that Polish children have been killed on the spot by Germans when their parents were being deported to work in Germany, nor that Polish children have been sold to German settlers. As regards putting Poles to death in gas chambers, I do not believe that there is any evidence that this has been done, There have been many stories to this effect, and we have played them up, in P.W.E. [Psy Warfare Executive] rumours without believing that they had any foundation. At any rate there is far less evidence than exists for the mass murder of Polish officers by the Russians at Katyn. On the other hand we do know that the Germans are out to destroy Jews of any age unless they are fit for manual labour.

I think that we weaken our case against the Germans by publicly giving credence to atrocity stories for which we have no evidence. These mass executions in gas chambers remind me of the story of employment of human corpses during the last war for the manufacture of fat, which was a grotesque lie and led to the true stories of German enormities being brushed aside as being mere propaganda…”

Dumbass, this directly contradicts your retarded narrative.

The PWE is who Orwell (Eric Blair) ultimately worked for when he was a propgandist for BBC's Eastern Service broadcasting in India. A post he kept until 1943.

The archived communications are hard to find. I found a full transcription @ http://www.fpp.co.uk/Auschwitz/docs/Cavendish/Bentinck.html but it has been deleted. (archive.org still had a copy)

The document reference is: Public Record Office Document, FO 371/34551 If anyone can find the original images of the documents, please share.
