The question of how much Germans and other Europeans knew about the Holocaust while it was ongoing continues to be debated by historians.[4][5][6] Peter Longerich argues that the Holocaust was an “open secret” by early 1943, but some authors place it even earlier.[7] Sönke Neitzel wrote in his book Soldaten: On Fighting, Killing and Dying that transcripts of conversations between German POWs prove that "practically all German soldiers knew or suspected that Jews were being murdered en masse".[8]
