Yes, true, but even so I have trouble believing people like the above - who wielded significant power in the German war machine - didn't know what all those one way trains were used for. I'd say these people must have heard at least rumours of deportation camps after Heydrichs assassination...

And I find it even harder to believe they never heard of the atrocities commited by the einsatzgruppen in the [far] east.
