Cette date que vous rapportez cher Francis est interessante a plus d'un titre:
Horty avait deja interdit les deportations depuis le 8 juillet (meme si eichmann avait encore reussi a faire transferer dans des camions un convoi ferroviaire de malheureux pour les deporter).
C'est aussi la date ou 127 forteresses volantes bombardent les usines qui se trouvent a moins de 8 kms du camps d'Auschwitz et qui "employaient" les esclaves du camps

10-Aug-44 British officials greeted with suspicion and hostility Horthy’s tentative offer in August 1944 to permit an exodus of the remaining Hungarian Jews. Lord Henry Croft of the War Office wrote to Anthony Eden. “I feel that there may be pressure from the U.S. for electioneering reasons to persuade us to give pledges which we may not be able to implement and I foresee a grave menace of political repercussions if a very large number of Jews in Hungary are assembled at some port or ports and His Majesty’s Government are unable to transport or accommodate them. Anything we do, therefore, it seems to me, should be subject to shipping available and camps adequate to house."

We have been careful to induce them to agree to a declaration referring only to Jews specified in the offer--a manageable number of immigrants."
