You can't find any other sources saying that it's unrealistic to expect soldiers to carry cameras and capture photos of the initial entry into enemy-operated concentration camps?
Thanks fren. I'd disagree that the staging isn't taboo though. I am finding it very hard to get links acknowledging it but these you have given are a great start--even if it's only mentioned in passing.
I think it's horrifying to know how many photos are being treated as real without any notice that they are staged.
Highly dasting...
Does anyone have any other links that cross reference this? I am turning up nothing.

I can't find any sources documenting which photos are real/fake.
But there is discussion and acceptance that some were staged.

It's not as taboo as people make it out to be, and acknowledging that some photos were staged doesn't mean the holocaust didn't happen.
