Ils savaient tout puisqu'ils avaient décodé l'Énigma...
Mais ce qu'ils savaient ne correspond pas exactement à ce que dit le dogme.
Ainsi, la publication des transcriptions des messages décodés à
Bletchley Park ne fera pas l'objet d'une grosse publicité, et pour
cause, ces messages correspondaient aux rapports journaliers des
commandants des camps à leur hiérarchie à Berlin...
Traces d'un massacre de masse en cours? AUCUNE.
“The Enemy Is Listening!”
What Did the British Intelligence Service Know about the Holocaust?
Christoph M. Wieland
Translated from German by Carlos W. Porter
In his book, The Ultra Secret,1 published in 1974, author Frederick W.
Winterbotham revealed, for the first time, that the British Intelligence
Service was able to eavesdrop on almost all German military radio
communications from a very early date, shortly after the outbreak of
World War II. As a captain in the Royal Air Force and officer of the
Military Intelligence Service, Winterbotham supervised the work of the
Government Code & Cipher School in Bletchley Park, where cryptanalysts
cracked the "Enigma" code used in German cipher machines to scramble
messages transmitted by the German army, navy and air force.
Seven more years were fated to pass by before the public was permitted
to learn that Bletchley Park personnel were capable of far more than
simply reading written German military messages. In 1981, cryptanalyst
Francis H. Hinsley published the second volume of his book British
Intelligence in the Second World War.2 Hinsley's book revealed that the
British Intelligence Service also eavesdropped on radio signals
transmitted by the German police, SD and SS. This enabled the British to
obtain not only reliable information on events behind the Russian Front,
but on events in the German concentration camps as well.
On 19 May 1997, the British government transferred the decoded documents
in Bletchley Park to the Public Records Office in London, thereby making
them accessible to the public for research purposes.3 Oddly, only a very
few Holocaust historians were interested in the information on the
concentration camps. The reason for this astonishing lack of interest is
presumably due to the following remark by author Hinsley:
The messages from Auschwitz, the largest camp, with 20,000
inmates,4 mention disease as the chief cause of death, but also include
references to executions by hanging and shooting. The decoded messages
contain no references to gassings.5
The present article is intended to summarize the information obtained at
Bletchley Park on events in Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Despite
Hinsley's unambiguous statement, British Intelligence Service
information continues to give rise to a multiplicity of interpretations
and speculation, just as before. At the same time, the question of what
the British "knew about the Holocaust" always takes priority over
everything else.
As shown by the Bletchley Park documents, the commandant of Auschwitz
had to file a report every single day. With the exception of Sunday,
these messages consisted of daily reports on population [Bestand],
arrivals [Zugänge], and departures [Abgänge] from the concentration
camps. For over thirteen months, from January 1942 to January 1943, the
British Intelligence Service followed up and decoded these reports from
Auschwitz Concentration Camp to the SS Head Business Administration
Office [SS-Wirtschafts-Verwaltungshauptamt] in Oranienburg.
The decoded messages enabled the compilation of very exact statistics.
The radio messages from 28 October 1942 – taking a single day at random
– reveal, for example, that Auschwitz Concentration Camp contained a
total, all told, of 25,298 inmates: 18,754 men and 6,544 women;
including 10,755 Jews, 8,822 Poles, 1,369 Russians and 1,578 Germans. It
was also learned that there were exactly 787 Zugänge and 168 Abgänge on
28 July 1942; Zugänge referred to the arrival of new inmates; Abgänge
referred to deaths, executions, releases and inmates transferred to
other camps.
These daily radio messages also contained additional information related
to Auschwitz. Thus, it was reported, for example, that Jewish
watchmakers were being transferred to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp;
that Polish workers could only be sent elsewhere [verschickt] after
release from quarantine; that British POWs were considered to be
urgently needed to work as kapos; and that efforts were being made to
locate a successor to the then-acting garrison doctor by September 1942.
