My History teacher this year informed me that Americans knew about the plans Holocaust as early as 1942 (which may be true but they weren't actively killing people yet) she then went on to say that we should have invaded Germany first and saved the Jews by dropping our troops into Germany... Yeah, that's not even a thing you can do... You just can't drop 2 million people into the heart of an enemy nation and expect them to survive with no supplies. Sorry. Even if you could get all the concentration camps how would you get them back to England? Swim? She obviously tried to justify her point further where I gave up becuase she is retarded.
She is not only retarded but is what I would call a "vulgar historian". People like that do several annoying things with history:
1. They engage in hypothetical departures from the record... (even some real historians - e.g., Liddell-hart's assertion that greater reliance on tracked vehicles would've carried Barbarosa to a successful conclusion)
2. they treat all chronologically preceding events as causal
3. they judge historical conduct by today's ethical and moral standards
Pikeys...
