Auschwitz was not destroyed because the destruction of the all the camps as well as the operation and or continuation of the camps during a world war was not as controlled and planned out with extreme precision as you’d like to think it was. Each camp was its own beast with its own individuals running it, leaving the possibilities for anything to happen . As much as some would like an explanation for why Auschwitz was not destroyed so it can fit nicely in your mind to make you comfortable the truth is, War happened. Bombings of main supply routes. Mass starvation. Chaos ensued. Sometimes there isn’t a rhyme or reason for things. This is the case here.
