June 6th, 1944 D-Day is when the western front open up. Franklin D. Roosevelt was the president of the United States during World War 2. As for when the Allies found out about the camp that would be it would be around 1941 when Winston Churchill who was Prime Minister of England during World War 2 heard of mass killing squards of German Soldiers who went around killing jewish people.
British Code Breakers
Despite Nazi attempts to keep secret the Einsatzgruppen extermination of Jews, news of mass murders did filter back into Germany and Allied countries. Reports of the unimaginable Nazi atrocities were met with disbelief and skepticism, and were assumed to pertain to military actions involving Russian defense forces.

The British government had detailed knowledge of the killings. On August 24, 1941, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, in a radio address, made public the scope of Einsatzgruppen activities in Eastern Europe. He disclosed that "whole districts" were being exterminated, and that "scores of thousands of executions in cold blood" were being perpetrated by "German police-troops upon the Russian patriots who defend their native soil."

Churchill didn't mention that Jews were being exterminated. He could not reveal this since it would have warned the Germans that British intelligence forces had cracked their secret radio codes. http://www.holocaustchronicle.org/staticpages/259.html
As for bombing Concentration Camps only known records of that happening. Here is a web site that will give you information on that.

The President was Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
It was believed that Hitler was exterminating the Jews at some point in 1943 - men who escaped a camp with actual pictures presented them to the U.S. government - and nothing was done. These guys made a camera!! In a Concentration Camp!!
The USAAF was told NOT to bomb the camps because that would definitely KILL the Jews, and it was still up in the air as to how bad it was. No one could believe that such a cultured people as the Germans could actually do such a thing. Go figure. (Malmedy, anyone?) They (we) were bombing adjoining factories as early as 1942.
Shame on you for the last part of your question - June 6th, 1944. D-Day. Actually, U.S. and British paratroopers were dropped in the night before (with less than desireable results.)

Sprouts and Gail get the best answer prize...... especially the point that 'till we actually occupied the camps and researched records, it was almost impossible to believe that the Germans.......who were same cultural stock and background as many Americans..could have so descended into madness and evil to set up production lines to kill 10,000,00 people the way we slaughter cattle.... and a
footnote that US forces first engaged the Germans during Operation Torch, November 1942 in the invasion of North Africa......

US troop came in the battle at the very end of the WWII and only because the Reich started to attack their goods and bases. Until that moment Americans didn't care if Nazi were killing the Jews and whatever.
I guess in the states they teach you the Americans saved the world because they are nice people....

Franklin Delano Roosevelt. There was more than one nazi plan that was intercepted. It might help to be more specific.
