From the middle of May 1944 to August 1944 it is said that some 434K to 437K Hungarians were brought to Auschwitz Birkenau to be gassed and burned in the 4 crematoria (46 retorts) and cremated outside in burn pits nearby Crematorium V.
Carlo Mattogno has covered this event extensively in his book ‘Open-Air Incineration’. This presentation is from a different perspective that should be mentioned and adds more fuel to the fire (pun intended) that the alleged event really did not happen. Mr. Mattogno presented convincing arguments to the nonsense of the official narrative. However, he made no mention to the deterioration of the refractory in his arguments in regard to the Hungarian alleged gas’n burn event at Auschwitz in spring/summer1944.
I will not discuss the outside burning of bodies in this posting.
This posting concerns the deteriorating effect on the refractory (Fire) brick lifespan wear and tear of the 46 retorts and flue systems at Auschwitz Birkenau by cremating so many bodies in such a short time period.
Gusen Toph ovens (2 retorts)
See the attachment concerning the replacement of the oven’s refractory change out. It shows that all the refractory needed to be changed out after about 1,450 cremation processes in each retort. Since both Gusen and Birkenau used Toph model ovens, it makes a good comparison.
Things to consider:
--Until mid-May 1944 the Birkenau ovens have already been in daily service for about a year
--Since the ovens were put into service, there is no documented replacement of any of the 46 ovens refractory
--No documented refractory brick replacement after August 1944
--I increase the number of processes to 2,000 before necessary replacement regardless of the Gusen Toph oven performance in 1941. I added an extra 500+ processes per retort.
Calculation attachments Danuta Czech
I have two attachments that details the variables and calculations based on the Hungarian extermination event.
One example I take, is the data of what Holocaust Historian Danuta Czech’s claim that 8,000 Hungarians were cremated in the 46 Birkenau retorts per day. (Mattogno, Open-Air Incinerations, P. 32).
8,000 / 46 retorts = 173.9 bodies per retort, per 24-hour day. Then 2,000 processes / 173 bodies = 11.5 days. Thus, the refractory due to high temperature related deterioration would have to be changed out about every 11.5 days if Danuta Czech’s claim is accurate.
I listed other daily capacity claims in the attachment. However, the take-away here is the refractory bricks in these 1940s era oven and flue system refractory could would not be able to cope with the wear and tear of cremating so many bodies is such a short time.
