Train loads of people were coming in daily to be slaughtered, over 80% were killed on arrival and were not kept as prisoners, while deaths among prisoners was very high.

This was not a static prison camps that kept the same people during the war (except for very few). That’s why I think this was effective even if bombs had hit the living quarters themselves.

You are setting up a Trolley Problem and solving it.

Such problems are known to not have correct answers, so it is reasonable to agree to disagree.

Well, they are known not to have correct answers, but in my brand of ethics risking the lives of people that are destined to die in order to save millions is pretty clear cut

Especially during a war where Dresden was fire bombed and Hiroshima was nuclear bombed
