Re: Reminder: We are winning...

I would say most of what really has to be said about the Holocaust from a revisionist perspective has been said. Primary documents are being gatekept in obscure archives and by laws preventing revisionists from accessing important materials. Although Mattogno has historically had insiders in the ...

Re: Problem with the Air Raid Shelter Thesis

Mirroring is a problem, which I made clear when I said, "We were warned to look out for it in interview training, as it could create the impression undue influence had been applied to the interviewee." No, your argument was that mirroring was used by witnesses (in this case Pruefer) to gain the ...

Re: A New Revisionist Interpretation of Operation Reinhardt

There is a lack of evidence of resettlement. For example, Eric Hunt looked for evidence of transports back out of TII and he only found a few transports totalling a few thousand people, who went to labour camps south or east of TII, not the east. What's been demonstrated is that Jews deported to ...

Re: Reminder: We are winning...

No, I've consistently said since circa 2010 that 'revisonism' in the classic form has been in decline, in terms of the numbers of active revisionists who produce books and articles and of their core supporters. It's a little bit ridiculous to claim that this would have been the case "since circa ...

Re: Hitler Biographies

Richard Breitman called Maser's biography of Adolf Hitler "the least reliable among the major biographies" and criticized Maser for giving credence to Hitler's alleged familiarity with many classics, preferring Robert G. L. Waite's depiction of Hitler as someone who "perused various sources for ...

Re: Hitler Biographies

-National Socialism as a political ideology was rooted in its time and place; it was never an ideology to be fully exported, since the core of it was German ethnonationalism. After the dropping of the atomic bomb in 1945, the strategic premises for aiming for national expansion in Europe or the ...

Re: A New Revisionist Interpretation of Operation Reinhardt

That theory is contradicted by evidence directly pertaining to TII, so it does not make much sense. Given the evidence for resettling the extermination hypothesis makes even less sense. The evidence from workers inside TII is that they bagged property taken from the Jews, which was then sent to ...

Re: Problem with the Air Raid Shelter Thesis

You don't defer to me, nor do I expect you to. What I would like you to do is read and learn from what I have shown you, so that you become less likely to rely on logical fallacies and gain better understanding of evidencing, so that your interpretation of the evidence improves. There is no ...

Re: Wood and storage at AR camps

The traditional story was that the wood was gathered locally by the "forest kommandos." That is of course not realistic, so more recently Holocaust Controversies has been forced to argue that there must have been enormous undocumented wood deliveries to the camps. The aerial photos of Treblinka pre ...

Re: The testimony of Maximilian Grabner

Graber's perhaps most absurd statement came in relation to the burying of corpses outside the camp in 1942, during a period in which the camp had no functioning crematoria because Crematoria I had broken down: "Long trenches were dug and filled with corpses. In 1942, in connection with the ...

Re: A New Revisionist Interpretation of Operation Reinhardt

What about the location of Treblinka (Belzec & Sobibor) in relation to its supposed primary purpose as a sorting facility for confiscated goods? It was located right on the eastern border of Poland, crossing into former Soviet territory with different railway gauge sizes. The location of these camps ...

Re: Problem with the Air Raid Shelter Thesis

That is eyewitness evidence of the gas chamber being used temporarily as a shelter during an air raid. If Kremas II, III, IV and V had all been converted, as Krema I was, for purpose use as an air raid shelter, there would have been no reason to demolish them. They could have been left in their ...

The testimony of Maximilian Grabner

Maximilian Grabner is an interesting character in the history of the Auschwitz camp, because he served as the head of the dreaded "Politische Abteilung" (Political Department) at Auschwitz from May 1940 until December 1943, a virtual eon in the context of Auschwitz. He would have been present before ...

Re: Frozen ground at Belzec

Yes, it's been noted by a few authors that Belzec would have been the most problematic camp in terms of unearthing the alleged victims. In fact, it would have been impossible without specialized machinery and trained work crews. But your thread reminded me of another instance, apart from the ones ...
