As the holocaust story was being developed in the immediate aftermath of the war claims of a wild nature were being distributed. These were mainly designed to be shocking and force the holocaust myths down the throats of rather naive public of the day. People read the papers and heard the news on the radio and took at face value. Few questioned anything they were told by the press.
These stories of course included the cremation en masse of hundreds of thousands of bodies on open air pyres. Treblinka was one such location where we were told to believe that the 800,000 bodies which had all been buried in large pits after having been gassed, were then removed from the ground and burned to a crisp on griddle irons or railway tracks.
The earliest reports of cremations inside the AR camps came late 1942, from Polish people who lived and worked near to the camps, reporting to the Government in Exiles intelligence. Why would people near to Belzec, Sobibor and TII all start to make that up?
Those early reports were then corroborated by escaped prisoners, who all stated the cremations were not just of the newly dead, but also corpses exhumed from mass graves. That action, of exhumation and cremation, was being repeated all over the east, in the operation to hide how many people the Nazis were killing.
At the war's end and all the post-war trials, the SS and other camp staff all spoke to mass cremations taking place.
In 1945, Polish site examinations at Sobibor, Belzec and TII all found large areas of disturbed ground containing cremated human remains and ashes. In the 1960s the sites were memorialised, as grave robbers continually exposed the remains. In the 1990s, into the early 2000s, another set of archaeological and forensic camp site surveys found large areas of cremated remains and Belzec and Sobibor were covered over, so that cremains would not be visible on the surface. TII was the last site to be re-surveyed in the early 2010s and still, cremains could be found on the surface of the ground.
That is corroborating witness and archaeological evidence to prove mass cremations.
No one thought to ask where the tens of thousands of tons of dried and suitable wood came from, was handled within the camp, was stored and was accounted for.
The problem for all these wild claims of the holocaust is science. The world moved on at a massive rate of knots after ww2, in just fifteen years man was circulating above the earth in tiny space ships. Things couldn't be claimed without the microscope of a rapidly advancing scientific world taking a look.
Hence these wild stories of mass cremations etc are just that, stories. Impossible in the real world in both practicability and time.
Since revisionists cannot produce any witness or archaeological evidence to prove that there were no mass cremations or large areas of disturbed ground, they need another way to claim that did not happen.
They have latched onto an argument, where they study how much wood they think it would take to cremate so many people and then claim it is impossible to achieve and that every single witness lied (Polish local, Nazi camp staff and Jewish inmates) and that all those involved in site examinations have grossly exaggerated and/or lied about what they found.
To me and the vast majority of people, the flaw in that argument is obvious. Only revisionists cannot see.
