Another thing to consider when discussing the credibility of the death
camp "rumors" was British propaganda expertise.  In a travel book about
Germany written by an Englishman, the Englishman mentions that, while
rumors abounded during WWII, most people were skeptical.  During WWI,
rumors about the crucifixion of Canadians, the way the Huns cut breasts
off nuns, etc., were given wide currency  by British propaganda.  After
the war, the British said "Ho ho, we were only joking."

An uninvolved German, hearing that Jews were being slaughtered, would
probably have figured, "Those wacky British are at it again!  What a
sick imagination...."
