A potentially interesting publication is mentioned in today's TIMES : THE TIMES June 06, 2005 Why British intelligence refused to believe all reports of the mass murder of Poland's Jews By Michael Evans Information about the gas chambers was kept from Churchill because officials would not accept the evidence of witnesses.../snip/ ...The dismissive response to the Holocaust reports in 1942 and 1943 is detailed in a remarkable publication of official intelligence records of the Second World War, sanctioned by the British and Polish governments. "Intelligence Co-operation Between Poland and Great Britain World War II" highlights the successes of the Anglo-Polish wartime relationship, notably the extraordinary joint efforts by codebreakers to decipher Germany's Enigma coding machine, used for all Berlin's military communications throughout the war. The Poles were the first to break the Enigma codes.../snip/ The official history, with a foreword by Tony Blair, is by the Anglo-Polish Historical Committee, set up five years ago to evaluate historical records. The first volume of findings is published this month. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1642411,00.html
