Today I ran across this fellows name in passing. That led me to look for his book 'The Auschwitz Lie'. I ended up with this, which may be a condensed pamphlet form of the book.
I present it here for the forum.
If the tales of Auschwitz were true (dump trucks full of babies unloaded with pitch forks in to rivers and lakes of fire etc) this fella should have been close enough to notice. Instead, he managed greenhouses full of dandelions in an effort to make rubber with 300 jewish workers.
Presented in these pages, find one man's telling of events.

Also presented, an article he wrote presented on IHR concerning his imprisonment;

(Don't worry, he talks about prison a little later in the article. I found this passage relevant to some of the threads over the last few days, and thus wanted to highlight it.)[...]When I wrote my report, I was criticized on the grounds that, although I was in the camp and saw nothing of mass gassings, that fact did not necessarily mean that there were none. All the same, I can say with certainty that there were no mass gassings at Auschwitz. I don’t write under a pen name. I even gave my address and telephone number. I have received thousands of letters and calls. Many of those who contacted me can confirm my statements, but are afraid to do so publicly. Some of those are SS men who were brutally mistreated and even tortured in Allied captivity. I also immediately contacted those who claimed to know more about mass gassings. My experiences were precisely the same as those of French professor Paul Rassinier. I have not found any eyewitnesses. Instead, people would tell me that they knew someone who knew someone else, who talked about it. In most cases the alleged eyewitnesses had died. Other supposed eyewitnesses would quickly begin to stammer and stutter when I asked a few precise questions. Even Simon Wiesenthal had to finally admit before a Frankfurt district court that he was actually never in Auschwitz. All of the reports I have heard about are contradictory. Everyone seemed to tell a different story about the gas chambers. They couldn’t even agree about where they were supposed to have been located.,This is also true of the so-called scholarly literature, which is full of contradictions. But they know more about that than I do.
I want to try to explain how such stories get started. When I tell fairy tales to my grandchildren, I often speak as if I am there in the story myself, so that the children will believe them. Many people also have a tendency to embellish what they say. Some enjoy getting others to believe their false tales. And then there are the so-called “bull stories” (Latrinenparolen). Every veteran knows about these. Those interned in prison camps particularly like to invent and spread such stories.
So I have an explanation for how the story got started that corpses were burned in open fires at Auschwitz. There were also “bull stories” at Auschwitz. My maid, Olga, once told my mother, who was visiting me at Auschwitz, about a fire in which people were being burned. I asked Olga about that. She didn’t know anything for sure, but she said that a fire could always be seen in the direction of Bielitz. I drove in that direction but found only a large industrial plant where inmates were also working. I looked over the entire camp and inspected all the fires and smoking chimneys. But I didn’t find anything suspicious. I asked my colleagues, but they answered merely by shrugging their shoulders and saying that I shouldn’t believe “bull stories.” There was indeed a crematory at Auschwitz. After all, 200,000 people lived there and every city has a crematory. Of course, people died there as well — and not just inmates. The wife of SS Lt. Col. Caesar, for example, died there of typhus. I was satisfied with those answers at the time.
