You have no evidence Larson was at a camp, that had gassed people, and those corpses were available for him to autopsy.
Larson autopsied 100+ bodies across twenty camps, April-May 1945, finding no cyanide poisoning. Traces should’ve appeared somewhere. Hydrogen cyanide binds to hemoglobin, forming cyanmethemoglobin, detectable in tissue and blood for months. Forensic toxicology (Rudolf, Dissecting the Holocaust, 2003, p. 204) shows HCN remains in preserved samples for 6-12 months, especially in colder climates like Poland (Jan-May 1945, avg. 0-10°C). Larson’s work—April 15 to May 30, 1945—is 5.5-7 months post-October 1944 gassing halt (Piper, Auschwitz: How Many, 1994). That’s within the detection window.
Larson sent 30-40 organ samples (lungs, liver) to the 1st Medical Lab in Paris (Wichita Eagle). Gas chromatography, standard in 1945 military forensics (NARA RG 112), could detect HCN at 0.1 ppm. Bodies from late 1944 (gassed or exposed) or early 1945 (disease deaths in gassing camps) should’ve shown traces, and yet none did.
Soviet liberation footage from January 27, 1945 shows unburned bodies in ditches and barracks. 7,000-8,000 survivors (Levi, Frank) confirm SS fled, halting cremation (Krema V destroyed Jan 26, Pressac, Technique, p. 512). April-May 1945, he autopsied “fresh or recently buried” bodies (See Crime Doctor, p. 87). A-B’s unburned dead or buried bodies (Oct ’44-Jan ’45) were accessible. Soviets preserved sites for investigation (USHMM). HCN in tissue from October gassings (5-7 months prior) should’ve been detectable.
If 1.3 million were gassed across camps (A-B, Reinhardt, etc.), Larson’s 100+ autopsies (1,000+ cursory checks) should’ve hit something—HCN or CO (Belzec’s claimed method, stable in blood). Zero positives in 20 camps, despite 5-7 months being within HCN’s detectability.
You still refused to acknowledge cremating 1.1 million requires 29,700 tons coke (27 kg/body)—A-B got 2,188 tons (Russian archives). Hungarian peak 1,400/day, they need 16,000 tons wood for pits (160 kg/body, Mattogno). No rail records (Dorpmüller archives) show this. Unburned corpses (Jan ’45 photos) prove cremation fell short.
If 5-7 months is too long for cyanide, cite a toxicology study showing HCN vanishes in tissue by April 1945 from October 1944 gassings. Soviet photos show A-B’s unburned corpses, where’s your proof 1.1 million were cremated with 2,188 tons coke? Why no cyanide in Dachau’s unburned dead (April ’45) or any of Larson’s samples if gassing was systemic?
You Said
The document which seems to be the Auschwitz labor allocation on July 28, 1944 lists 33 workers under “Holzablader” (wood unloaders) for Krema operations. It specifies no wood quantities, delivery frequency, or cremation scale. “Wood unloaders” means small-scale pit burning (e.g., 100-200 bodies/day, per Müller’s Eyewitness Auschwitz, p. 142) or even non-cremation tasks—wood for camp heating, construction, or Krema maintenance (e.g., scaffolding, Pressac, Technique, p. 384). It’s not evidence of 16,000 tons (Hungarians) or 176,000 tons (1.1 million).
The Hungarian peak was 100,000 dead over 70 days (May-July ’44) = 1,400/day. Pits at 160 kg wood/body need 224 tons/day (1,400 x 160 kg = 224,000 kg). That’s 22 railcars daily (10 tons/car, Dorpmüller archives). For 1.1 million, it’s 1,760 tons/day—176 railcars daily. 33 unloaders (working 12-hour shifts) can’t handle 22-176 cars/day, each car needs ~1 hour to unload. No rail records (Fahrplananordnung) show such deliveries, and aerial photos (Aug ’44) lack massive wood piles.
You ignored my fuel math 29,700 tons coke needed vs. 2,188 tons delivered for 1.1 million. Explain the gap. You Ignored Soviet photos (Jan ’45) showing A-B’s unburned corpses, prove 1.1 million were cremated.
You Said
You say you do not use evidence for gassings, and then you use Hoess, Tauber, the Hungarian action, Zyklon B and Krema construction documents. You present zero evidence for some other process taking place inside the buildings, instead you argue there cannot have been gassings. You produce a negative, inconclusive history.
You are twisting my approach. I use his witnesses (Höss, Tauber) and documents (Zyklon B, Krema specs) to show they don’t hold up under scrutiny, while providing concrete evidence such as blueprints, SS orders, forensics, and worker accounts for delousing and cremating disease-dead. Which are for more supported than anything you've given, which resulted in you running to nonsense forums only for you to drop them in the next reply because they don't even hold up whatsoever.
I’m not presenting Höss, Tauber, or Zyklon B as proof of gassing, I’m testing your evidence and finding it wanting.
Höss’s numbers shift (1.5-3 million, Nuremberg) under torture (Rupert Butler, Legions of Death, 1983) unreliable.
Tauber’s 5-7 minutes/body or even 30 minutes for 4-5 (Pressac, p. 489) is impossible 4-5 bodies need 2+ hours (Mattogno, Auschwitz: Crematoriums, p. 89).
Hungarian action (437,000 arrived, ~100,000 dead, Piper, Auschwitz: How Many, p. 148) 1,400/day exceeds 360/day Krema capacity (SS memo, NI-7179).
Zyklon B’s 19 tons (NI-9912) 90% for barracks/clothes (see SS logs), not 400+ gassing cycles. This is standard historical critique, Im taking your sources, applying science (physics/forensics), and show inconsistencies. You saying “you use gassing evidence” is a strawman.
Regarding your specific claim about how I offer “zero evidence” for another process inside the Kremas:
Read the SS order from August 12, 1942 (NO-021): “Disinfect clothing… in available chambers.” Krema I’s 1941 blueprints label it “Entlausungskammer” (Pressac, p. 29) which are gas-tight doors, vents match Degesch specs (16 g/m³ HCN, 1-2 hour cycles). Krema II/III’s Leichenkeller (NI-4473) have vents, no showerheads/pillars—fit fumigation, not 300 ppm human gassing (90 g Zyklon B/cycle, Rudolf, Dissecting, p. 197). Joseph Erber, SS guard near Krema I (1981, CODOH,
https://codoh.com/library/document/ausc ... tophersen/, p. 14): “The gas chamber there was used to delouse clothing… no people were gassed.”
Death books log 66,000 deaths (1942-44, and British Cryptologist Hinsley) say mostly typhus, dysentery, starvation (1,300 calories/day, camp logs). 2,188 tons coke (Russian archives) burns ~80,000 bodies (27 kg/body)—matches logged deaths, not 1.1 million.
Forensics support me, documentary evidence supports me, the documentary corroborate with foreign code breakers, and the logistics too. You just have what? A few lying witnesses?
1.1 million cremations need 29,700 tons coke or 176,000 tons wood, show delivery records. Where’s your SS document ordering gassing in Kremas show a clear homicide directive.
You Said
Krema I was used for gassings in 1941-2. Krema II's last gassing was in the autumn of 1944. How would there be a corpse available in 1945, from those Kremas, for Larson to autopsy in the spring of 1945?
I already went over this above.
You Said
If you put 4 to 5 corpses, at the same time, on to the grate in an oven for 30 minutes, those corpses each spend 30 minutes in the oven.
What? You’re arguing that Tauber’s “5 to 7 minutes” (Pressac, Auschwitz: Technique and Operation, p. 483) is a misleading average because 4-5 corpses are loaded onto a grate for 30 minutes, then drop through to burn below for another 30 minutes, totaling an hour per corpse. The problem is Tauber never describes such a process, and the crematorium design doesn’t support it. Pressac, p. 483:
“Ober Capo August explained to us that, according to the calculations and plans for this crematorium, 5 to 7 minutes was allowed to burn one corpse in a muffle.”
Later:
“We could burn two charges per hour… regulations stipulated that we had to load each muffle every half hour.”
Tauber describes loading 4-5 corpses per muffle, burning them, and taking a “few minutes’ break” before the first muffle was ready again. The “5 to 7 minutes” is tied to August’s “calculations and plans”—a specific design spec, stated before the 30-minute cycle or 4-5 corpse batches. That's a standalone rate for “one corpse.”
Tauber literally mentions loading, burning, and
raking ash after combustion not corpses falling mid-cycle to burn below. “Two charges per hour” means a full burn every 30 minutes, not 30 minutes on the grate plus 30 below.
The Topf triple-muffle ovens (Krema II/III, blueprint NI-7179) have one chamber per muffle with a clay grate. Bodies burn on top; ash drops after full combustion (Topf manual, Betriebsvorschrift, p. 5). There’s no mechanism for corpses to “drop through” mid-cycle while still burning, combustion must finish first (60-90 minutes per body, Topf specs, Mattogno, Auschwitz: Crematoriums, p. 67). Your two-stage process is an invention not supported by the literal facility equipment.
You Said
If those corpses then drop through the grate, when another 4 to 5 corpses are introduced on to the grate, the original 4 to 5 corpses spend longer than 30 minutes in the oven, as they continue to cremate below the grate.
Topf specs (Mattogno, p. 67) and modern cremation science show one body (70-80 kg) takes 60-90 minutes with 15 kg coke/hour per muffle (Topf manual, p. 3). In 5-7 minutes, you’d char flesh but leave bones intact which is nowhere near full cremation. Loading 4-5 corpses (160-200 kg total) doesn’t speed things up, it slows them down. More mass requires more heat and time. Per Rudolf (Dissecting the Holocaust, p. 321), 160-200 kg needs ~60-75 kg coke over 2-3 hours in a Topf muffle, not 30 minutes. At 15 kg coke/hour, 30 minutes provides ~7.5 kg coke which is enough to partially burn one body, not reduce 4-5 to ash. They’d be half-cremated, clogging the grate (Topf warns of downtime for overloading, see p. 5).
You Said
Dividing corpses into the times creates a false impression, each of the corpses spent minutes in the oven. The claim related by Tauber, of the Capo August's claim about 5 to 7 minutes to burn one corpse, is a misleading average, since each corpse spent far longer, at least 30 minutes in the oven.
You argue Tauber’s “5 to 7 minutes” is a misleading average because each corpse spends at least 30 minutes. But Tauber’s text shows it’s a specific rate, not a derived figure.
“Ober Capo August explained… 5 to 7 minutes was allowed to burn one corpse… according to the calculations and plans” (Pressac, p. 483). This comes first, tied to the crematorium’s design, not an average from batch times. Later, Tauber observes 4-5 corpses in 30 minutes (6-7.5 each) and says this “took longer” than the “continuous” pace, implying the “5 to 7 minutes” is a faster, single-corpse rate from August’s plans.
If 4-5 take 30 minutes, why cite “5 to 7 minutes” as the design spec? Tauber’s not averaging he’s relaying August’s claim as a literal target. If “5 to 7 minutes” were an average, Tauber would link it to the 30-minute cycle (e.g., “we averaged 5-7 minutes per corpse”). But he doesn’t, it’s a standalone figure from “plans,” not operations. Your “misleading average” ignores how Tauber frames it.
You cannot answer these, I've stated them multiple times now, so I will bold them for you:
The Physics: 4-5 bodies need 2+ hours, not 30 minutes. Where’s your cremation study showing otherwise?
The Design: Topf’s ovens don’t allow mid-cycle drops. Show me the blueprint or retract your “drop-through.”
The Text: Tauber doesn’t mention a two-stage process. Cite Pressac where he does, or admit it’s made up.
Fuel: 1.1 million cremations need ~29,700 tons coke (Rudolf, p. 322); records show 2,188 tons (Russian archives). Where’s the rest?
HCN: Krema II walls show 0-640 µg/kg cyanide (Krakow 1994)—why not 1,000+ µg/kg for 400+ gassing cycles?
You Said
The use of the Kremas to delouse clothing does not align with any chemist who has studied the residues left. They all agree the residues are far lower than that found in the camp's delousing chambers. You have quoted Muller describing delousing in a delousing chamber, not a Krema.
The Krakow Institute’s 1994 study (cited in Rudolf, Dissecting the Holocaust, p. 208) measured cyanide residues in Krema II at 0-640 µg/kg (max outlier), while Block 3’s dedicated delousing chambers hit 900-16,000 µg/kg. Leuchter’s 1988 report (Leuchter Report) reports similarly, low Krema traces vs. high delousing chamber levels.
Delousing chambers like Block 3 ran 10-20 cycles yearly with 5-7 kg Zyklon B per cycle (16 g/m³, 1-2 hours, Degesch specs), binding hydrogen cyanide (HCN) to walls. Kremas, handling clothes from disease-dead, saw fewer, smaller fumigations, quick 1-2 hour cycles with less HCN exposure, leaving lower residues (0-640 µg/kg). If Krema II gassed 1.1 million people, which was Piper’s estimate, that’s 400+ cycles (2,000 people/cycle, 90 g Zyklon B, 300 ppm). Rudolf (p. 208) calculates this should yield 1,000-3,000 µg/kg in walls. Krema II’s 0-640 µg/kg is too low for gassing but fits occasional delousing.
You assume low residues disprove delousing but at the same time ignoring that they also disprove mass gassing. Kremas weren’t industrial delousing hubs like Block 3 as I've already stated, they fumigated sporadically, matching the SS Hygiene Order (NO-021) for “available chambers.”
“Clothing was taken to the disinfection block near Krema I, where it was treated with Zyklon B” (1942, Auschwitz I). “Near Krema I” shows proximity with Krema I, the camp’s only crematorium then. Pressac (Technique, p. 29) shows Krema I’s 1941 plans labeling a chamber as “Entlausungskammer” (delousing chamber) not a separate building. Delousing was part of Krema I’s function, used for clothes from morgue bodies. NO-021 (August 12, 1942) mandates “disinfection of all clothing and bedding” with Zyklon B in “available chambers.” Kremas, doubling as morgues, were logical spots for fumigating typhus-ridden gear (15,000 deaths, Hinsley, British Intelligence, p. 673). SS guard Joseph Erber confirms: “The gas chamber [in Krema I] was used to delouse clothing… no people were gassed.” This aligns with Müller’s “disinfection” near Krema I Zyklon B for typhus control, not murder.
NO-021 explicitly ties Zyklon B to delousing in “available chambers” you ignore it.
You Said
What do you say the Kremas II to V were each used for 1943-4? You jump about all over the place.
The morgues in Kremas II-V doubled as fumigation chambers to disinfect clothing from typhus-ridden corpses. The morgues were underground, cool, and spacious—ideal for holding corpses (Mattogno, Auschwitz: The Case for Sanity). With 52 muffles across Kremas II-V (max 360 bodies/day, per Prüfer’s specs), it's obvious storage was a necessary step when deaths outpaced burning capacity. Where’s your document ordering gassing in Kremas II-V? Where’s your 1,000 µg/kg HCN residue for 1.1 million gassed? Where’s your 29,700 tons coke or 176,000 tons wood?
You Said
Another link to nothing "Oops! That page can’t be found." No wonder, when you are clearly struggling to produce any of the many witnesses you claim saw the Kremas being used to delouse clothing.
I know it's quite sad how all your arguments have been dismantled one by one, but a link I can't control is your only "Gotcha!" you can muster, but hey, I think at this point you deserve at least something as a win, after what's been happening to you in this debate. You didn't even bother to search the end of the link?

Additional confirmation comes from Jürgen Graf’s The Giant with Feet of Clay (2001), which references Erber’s testimony (p. 112) as evidence that Krema I’s gas chamber was used for delousing, not executions. The testimony aligns with Jean-Claude Pressac’s findings in Auschwitz: Technique and Operation of the Gas Chambers (1989), where he documents gas-tight doors with peepholes in delousing facilities (pp. 425, 486, 500) and admits 95% of Zyklon B was used for delousing (p. 15).
You are using Mueller, a witness who speaks to homicidal gassings inside Krema I, and Christopherson, who was not at the Kremas, as evidence clothing was deloused in a building, that Rudolf and Leuchter both state cannot have been used for delousing, let alone gassings!
Despite numerous requests, you cannot link to, name and quote an eyewitness, who worked inside Kremas I to V, who states that clothing was deloused inside the building whilst he was working there.
This is a blatant strawman fallacy. My claim doesn’t rely on Müller or Christophersen asserting delousing inside Krema I; it uses Müller’s specific reference to a “disinfection block near Krema I” (p. 33) to support my argument, corroborated by Erber’s direct testimony and Pressac’s blueprints. I cited Müller’s statement about Zyklon B disinfection near Krema I, not his entire narrative. His claim of homicidal gassings is riddled with contradictions (e.g., 3,000 people per chamber, cremation in “a few minutes,” p. 95, 102) and conflicts with forensic evidence. His disinfection reference aligns with 1942’s typhus epidemic, when Zyklon B was used for sanitation (Pressac, p. 15; Glücks, 1942). Erber explicitly states Krema I’s gas chamber was used for delousing, not gassings. Pressac’s 1941 blueprints confirm this function.
Both Leuchter and Rudolf affirm Krema I’s unsuitability for homicidal gassings but support its potential for delousing, aligning with Erber’s testimony and Pressac’s blueprints.
You Said
Yes. Multiple studies of witnesses, memory, recollection and estimation, explain why witnesses overestimate how many people were gassed and under-estimate how long it took.
The physical and technical implausibility of rapid gassings. You are not citing specific studies, authors, or methodologies, which renders your claim a baseless assertion. Here's why they are wrong:
Degesch manuals and Rudolf show HCN release takes 10–15 minutes, and uneven distribution in a 300 m³, crowded Leichenkeller delays lethality. Müller’s 5–10 minute timeline is not a minor misjudgment but a physical impossibility, as 300 ppm wouldn’t be uniformly reached in that time.
NI-4473’s ventilation data confirms HCN lingers, contradicting claims of rapid clearance. Witnesses like Müller and Venezia claiming “a few minutes” for ventilation are off by an order of magnitude (15–20 minutes, per Rudolf, p. 199).
Müller’s 3,000-victim estimate exceeds Leichenkeller’s capacity. Pressac (p. 287) gives 210 m² (30 m x 7 m); at 14 people/m² (maximal crowding, per Rudolf, p. 201), ~2,940 fit, but this assumes no movement or ventilation loss. Cohen’s 750 or Nadjari’s 2,500 are also inconsistent with wild exaggeration, not slight memory errors.
Memory studies such as Loftus & Palmer, 1974, Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior show witnesses can misjudge time or numbers under stress, but the discrepancies here, 5–10 minutes vs. 1–2 hours, 750 vs. 3,000 victims are too vast to be mere errors. Sonderkommando testimonies were often given years later, under post-war pressure or coercion (Höss’s tortured confession). These witnesses were incentivized to align with the orthodox narrative, as seen with Pery Broad’s bought testimony (Tesch Trial, “Critique of Matt Cockerill”). Uncoerced witnesses like Maria van Herwaarden (1942–45) saw only delousing showers, no gassings, despite being at Auschwitz during alleged peak operations.
We do not have reliable sources of how many were gassed and how long it took, since, if the Nazis did keep records, they destroyed them. Hence, we have to rely on witness estimations.
Sure, some records were destroyed, significant documents remain though. Intercepted German communications (spring 1942–January 1943) report no gassings at Auschwitz, only disease deaths, shootings, or hangings (Hinsley, British Intelligence in the Second World War, Vol. 2, p. 673). These were secure transmissions, not intended for Allied eyes.
Auschwitz Death Books were released by the Soviets in 1989, they record ~69,000 deaths, ~30,000 Jewish, mostly from typhus, with no mention of gassing. Soviet archives also show ~2,188 tons of coke delivered to Auschwitz, sufficient for ~80,000 cremations (27 kg/body, Topf specs), not millions. Prüfer’s memos and Bischoff’s June 28, 1943, letter confirm 52 muffles’ realistic capacity at ~360 bodies/day, which is far below Müller’s 6,000. A July 22, 1942, radio message from General Glücks authorizes “gas for gassing” to combat typhus, not for murder.
You Said
The Glaser referred to is "Leo Glaser, director of the Austrian Insurance Company in Vienna". The huge volume of transports explains the high use of the Kremas, not typhus.
What? Leo Glaser was a Jewish prisoner and Kanada kapo, whose 1945 testimony describes secondhand observations (smoke, smells, rumors) and typhus’s persistence. Auschwitz survivor testimonies such as USHMM, “Oral History Archives” mention Leo Glaser as a prisoner in Kanada, sorting goods in Birkenau’s Effektenlager. Pressac (p. 123) describes Kanada’s role, confirming kapos worked far from Kremas. Testimonies from Wilhelm Boger (Ludwigsburg, July 5, 1945) and Kurt Knuth-Siebenlist (Hamburg, December 3, 1959) identify Glaser as a kapo in this section, with access to transport data due to his role. The "Austrian Insurance Company in Vienna” Is a pre-war professional title, not evidence he wasn’t a prisoner.
1.1 million deportees to Auschwitz (1940–45), with ~400,000 registered. The rest (700,000) are claimed gassed in your narrative, yet no documents you can provide confirm this. Enigma decryptions (Hinsley, p. 673) report no gassings, only disease deaths. A 1944 transport log (USHMM, “Deportations to Auschwitz”) shows Hungarian Jews (~437,000, May–July 1944) arriving during Himmler’s sanitation concerns, with many registered or transferred, not gassed. 52 muffles could cremate 360/day (Prüfer), with a theoretical maximum of 4,756/day (Bischoff). Coke records (2,188 tons) support ~80,000 cremations, not millions. The “huge volume” of transports doesn’t explain how Kremas handled thousands daily, as Mandelbaum and Müller claim.
You Said
If you put 4 to 5 corpses into an oven, and leave them there for 30 minutes, what is the average time each corpse spends in the oven?
Tauber’s statements are clear, how many times must I say this?:
Pressac, p. 483: “The incineration process was supposed to take up to 20 minutes per load, but in reality it was considerably accelerated. The incineration of one charge in the
muffle took 5 to 7 minutes ,which was possible thanks to the plans for the construction of the ovens."
This is a standalone claim, which he literally tied to alleged engineering plans, not an average dude.
Pressac, p. 489: “Two charges per hour… 4 or 5 corpses” implies 30-minute cycles, with 6–7.5 minutes per corpse (30 ÷ 4–5). This is a similar 5–7 minute claim, Tauber believed each corpse was cremated in that time, not that he averaged cycle times. Let's even assume, since you need the helping hand at this point, that if your interpretation is correct, 6–7.5 minutes per corpse is still impossible, as cremation takes 60–90 minutes per body (Topf & Sons). The muffle’s 2x2-foot size cannot accommodate 4–5 corpses without severe delays, as heat transfer slows with overloading.
Tauber’s 5–7 minute claim is a gross exaggeration, consistent with other Sonderkommando such as Müller's 6,000/day and Mandelbaum “thousands daily”.
Seriously, it's like Im beating up the retarded kid, you have no idea what you are talking about and can NEVER back up any of your claims except with links that literally prove nothing. This is pathetic.
