Agreed. Bombing civilian German supply lines in the 1940s was horrific, but the Great Starvation / Eisenhower's Holocaust that happened after WW2 ended was genocidal. Ten million German civilians and one million (mostly Jewish) prisoners starved to death because of Allied sanctions in 1947.
Sadly, most people have no idea these two crimes even happened. They see the photos of German prison guards filling burial pits with starved prisoners and never thing to question if those photos were taken during the war or during the Great Starvation of 1947.
Fewer people think to question why the fuck German prison guards were digging mass graves when they allegedly had massive crematorium infrastructure onsite.
And fewer people think to realize that when time is short, it may take cremation AND burial to dispose of evidence fast enough. Every process has its rate.
And fewer people think to realize if time is short, waiting to starve your prisoners to death when you allegedly have gas chamber showers is laughable ridiculous. Not as ridiculous as expecting a freshly dug mass grave to go unnoticed, but worthy of mocking and ridicule nevertheless.
And still fewer to think that there was any waiting involved in starving them to death. That was their life in the camps. They were pre-starved, so to speak. The survivors were skin and bones. If they had plenty of time, the gas chambers would have sufficed to finish them off---but the bodies would still have to be disposed of. The Soviets first practiced the art of mass executions and mass graves with the Katyn massacre of 22,000 Polish officers and intelligentsia. You want to say that is a fantasy?
You seem to have this idea that the concentration/death camps were run by brain trusts and not by ordinary mediocre people. In the SS, orders were carried out without question. If they were ordered to bury bodies if there was insufficient capacity or time for cremation, they were buried. Expediently. What else do you suppose they were going to do? Lay down a concrete pad over the graves?
No, there was plenty of evidence available not only to the Nuremberg trials, but also to the trials associated with the death camps. Things like the delivery receipts for the Zyklon B, for instance. You are barking up a nonexistent tree.
