The Auschwitz complex was photographed accidentally several times during missions aimed at nearby military targets.[40] However, the photo-analysts knew nothing of Auschwitz, and the political and military hierarchy didn't know that photos of Auschwitz existed.[41] For this reason, the photos played no part in the decision whether or not to bomb Auschwitz.[41] Photo-interpretation expert Dino Brugioni believes that analysts could have easily identified the important buildings in the complex if they had been asked to look.[41]
