It has been said that a bombing would have been a risky business and not very efficient. Firstly it would certainly have killed innocent people, but of course far less than the chambers. But even if these would have been bombed, they would have been rebuilt within days and it would not have stopped the murders for long. A less offcial reason may have been the fact that his was not a strategical target and that bombing the camps would delay other bombings such as weapon factories etc.. I don't think these priorities were instigated by antisemtism, but the first goal was to win the war. The end of the war would stop the killings, bombing the camps would not.
