Re: How did the sonderkommando deal with the settled and condensed cyanide in the homicidal gas chambers?

One step forward, two steps back it seems. You are indeed breaking from mainstream orthodoxy to settle on a 30 minute execution time due to technical reasons.blake121666 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2025 4:37 pm
...I didn't break from orthodoxy?
....I couldn't care less about "oxygen depletion". Quite small amounts of HCN inhaled in a short time will quickly kill and is by far the bigger factor here.
They eyewitness testimonies range from 2 minutes to 20, with some outliers at their respective end of the distribution curve claiming "instant" or "30 minutes". The convergence neatly falls on ten minutes.
Lest i be accused of "cherrypicking" these execution times, and to show what the mainstream orthodox presentation of these execution times are, to a lay-audience, here is a screenshot from the most mainstream source possible, Wikipedia:
I anticipate Nessie will barge in crying i've "cherrypicked" 10 minutes, which you'll understand is rubbish. in fact, having hopefully understood the corner he (and by extension Orthodoxy) has painted himself into, his retreat to a 30 minute execution time, to be found isolated amongst a minority of outlier accounts and ignoring the majority, is the real cherrypicking!
But enough about Nessie and back to you; If you are having difficulty accepting the mainstream account as presented, then I don't know what else to tell you other than "welcome to Codoh".
Final point:
"I couldn't care less about oxygen depletion".
i'm sorry but this is rubbish. If you genuinely care about finding out what happened inside these 4 walls, then you must care about the biochemical and biomechanical processes in question. Oxygen depletion and in tandem carbon dioxide accumulation are two extremely important factors as, under the circumstances as we agreed upon could be fatal, would be doing much of, if not all of the killing.
Ignoring these factors is a bad look for you.
