Try to keep up, John. The above concerns the observation that the only camps that continued after the war to be identified as death camps under German control during the war were those located within the Soviet sphere of influence after the close of the war, i.e., beyond the reach of Western investigators. Thus the claims about gas chambers there could not be challenged. The Soviets had been generating anti-German propaganda about such things since early on in the war, and continued to perpetuate it long after its end.
