The Wannsee Conference was in January 1942, when the main actions against the Jews, was the mass shootings by the EG. Hence the minutes record Estonia as Jew free and huge drops in the populations of Latvia and Lithuania. As you say, there was no explicit call for gassings, but AR had yet to start and Chelmno was still a small scale operation. Those drops in population are inconsistent with a resettlement policy, of which the conference has nothing to say about.

Okay so you concede Wannsee conference has no references to mass extermination or whatever the basic holocaust histography claims lol. Then we'll leave it at that. As for your gassing bit there, you can't substantiate that so until you can, it's not worth my effort.

You said

The planning involved in resettling millions of Jews would be enormous, a huge drain on resources, yet Wannsee, "the Final Solution of the Jewish people" has nothing. The "so-called transit ghettos", which you identify as Riga and Minsk, took in Jews, but there is no evidence they were they tranisted and resettled anywhere else. The Riga and Minsk ghettos had closed in October 1943, which leaves the question, "where did all those Jews go?", unanswered by revisionists, or so-called revisionists, as they cannot revise the history and produce evidence of resettlement.

It’s a 90-minute meeting, not a logistics manual. “Evacuation to the East” and “transit ghettos” (NG-2586, p. 7) are there—Riga and Minsk named elsewhere (Einsatzgruppen Report No. 92, Mallmann, p. 545). Planning’s implied Heydrich’s “proper guidance” and “work columns”. Germany moved 3 million Soviet POWs by 1942 (Overmans, Deutsche militärische Verluste, p. 277) Jews were less, 500,000 deported by mid-1942 (Browning, Origins, p. 363). Your “enormous” claim’s a strawman, Wannsee’s a start of a strategy , was not some sort of shipping schedule. You say Riga and Minsk ghettos took Jews, but there’s “no evidence” they went elsewhere, closing by October 1943—implying murder. This is just wrong dude.

Riga got 20,000+ Jews (1941-42, German rail logs, Fahrplananordnung No. 587); Minsk, 35,000 (EG reports). Post-1943, survivors went east—Kaunas labor camps (5,000 from Riga, see the Yad Vashem Encyclopedia, Jewish source but you'll like it that way), Minsk Jews to Sobibor (2,000, Arad, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, p. 76) or dispersed (partisans, USSR flight).

Ghetto closures don’t mean “all gassed”—Höfle Telegram (January 1943) logs 1.27 million to AR camps, outbound trains existed (e.g., Minsk to Maly Trostenets, 10,000 killed, not gassed, Soviet Commission, 1944). Disease in 1942-43 had the epidemics hit hard (20-30% mortality according to Red Cross). You are endlessly insisting Wannsee’s “no resettlement planning” means murder “Final Solution” (NG-2586) as death, not displacement. “Natural causes” (labor attrition) and “treated accordingly” (vague) don’t spell out gassings. Shootings (Could be 1.1 million) and disease (100,000+) fit. USSR relocated 1.5 million Poles, 1940-41 (Gross, Revolution from Abroad, p. 226). The Germans didn’t need a neat plan. Wannsee’s silence on gassing, AR’s later launch, all points to labor East. You say “no planning” somehow proves intent? That's just illogical, it only proves nothing but your bias.

Your “where’d they go” already has answers dude. Shootings, labor, chaos, not gas chambers. For some reason you hold onto an answer with the least amount of documentary and forensic evidence.


You said

You dispute all you want that Wannsee included planning for murder, it certainly included no planning for resettlement. That the senior Nazis present, did not want to be associated with the murders, is hardly surprising. The dirty work was left to more junior SS.

The protocol (Nuremberg Doc. NG-2586) says: “Jews fit to work will work their way eastwards constructing roads… a large portion will be eliminated by natural causes… the remnant will be treated accordingly.” “Natural causes” means disease—like typhus, and starvation, not gas chambers. “Treated accordingly” is vague, no gas vans or Kremas here; Aktion Reinhard starts July 1942, Chelmno’s small (50,000, Longerich, Holocaust, p. 287). Einsatzgruppen shootings rule by mid-’42. Wannsee’s “11 million” (NG-2586) is a LABOR POOL and that is something the Germans NEEDED.

Heydrich’s “appropriate labor in the East” ain’t a death camp rollout. Murder’s your assumption, deportation’s is the literal text. “no planning for resettlement”??? “Evacuation to the East” and “transit ghettos” (NG-2586, p. 7) aren’t nothing. Riga took 20,000+ Jews (1941-42, rail logs, Fahrplananordnung No. 587), Minsk 35,000 (EG Report No. 92, Mallmann, p. 545). Where’d they go? Kaunas labor camps (5,000 from Riga, Yad Vashem), Sobibor (2,000 from Minsk, Arad, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, p. 76), Maly Trostenets (10,000 shot, Soviet Commission, 1944). Nazis moved 3 million Soviet POWs by ’42 (Overmans, Deutsche militärische Verluste, p. 277) deporting Jews eastward was doable, no grand “plan” needed beyond “work them hard” in the camps.

You Said

Are you denying Babi Yar and the mass shootings by the EG? If so, please evidence where the Jews of Kiev were in 1942.

Einsatzgruppen Report No. 101 (October 2, 1941, Nuremberg Doc. NO-3157) states: “Sonderkommando 4a… executed 33,771 Jews in Kiev on September 29 and 30, 1941.”

I’ve said it before EG probably killed a million Russians, Ukrainians, Jews, etc across the East by mid-1942 (Headland, Messages of Murder, p. 180). As I already showed clearly, many of the examples given had valid reasons their deaths, and violated laws themselves. (Becoming an Armed Partisan was a war crime). What actually led to this was not the random, or planned "Holocaust" or will for murdering Jews for the sake of it, but a response to an attack on the Germans. There were a series of explosions that rocked the city between September 20 and 28, caused by mines left behind by retreating forces. These explosions killed hundreds of German soldiers and Ukrainian civilians, injured many more, and caused widespread fires that raged for days, displacing thousands. The German authorities pinned this on the population of Kyiv, accusing them of sabotage and collaboration with the Soviet NKVD.

In retaliation, they killed the 32,000. According to 1948 trials, a 10:1 reprisal is acceptable to the allies, some German generals wanted 100:1 on hostile populations, which means 100 people dead per 1 German killed, so no one would ever kill a German soldier. Nonetheless, it seems to be an overstep of ratio's as a reprisal, not extermination for the sake of nothing.

Your claim: “That was everyone. No one was spared.” Is my contention. I dispute not the event, but the “everyone” myth. Kiev’s pre-war Jewish population was 175,000 (1939 Soviet census, Yad Vashem); over 100,000 fled OR Joined the Red Army before the Germans hit (June-September 1941, Yad Vashem estimates). That leaves 60,000-70,000. 33,771 is roughly half.


Survivors went three ways:

Hiding in Kiev: Dina Pronicheva escaped Babi Yar—climbed out, hid with Ukrainians (Nuremberg testimony, IMT Vol. 7, p. 395, Yale Law Avalon Project). Thousands followed, Kiev’s Jewish resistance (e.g., Anatoly Kuznetsov’s Babi Yar, 1966, p. 234) notes families sheltered by locals, dodging German sweeps in 1942.

Partisans or USSR: Some fled east. Ukrainian partisans took in Jews (Spector, Holocaust of Volhynian Jews, p. 189); others crossed Soviet lines post-1941 retreat (est. 5,000-10,000, Yad Vashem oral histories). By 1942, they’re in Soviet territory or forests.

Later Killings/Disease: Germans mopped up stragglers—EG Report No. 128 (December 1941, Mallmann, p. 789) logs 10,000+ more shot in Ukraine by year-end. Typhus hit hard—1941-42 outbreaks killed 20-30% in ghettos (Red Cross reports, ICRC Archives).



You Said

OK, evidence the number of Jews in Nikolayev and Kherson in 1942. You seem to think investigation is what did not happen, whereas it is normally about what did. Unless you start to present evidence of what the EG were doing and what happened to the Jews they arrested, you cannot be called a revisionist, you are just a denier.

Pre-war 1939 they had 16,145 in Kherson (17% of 96,988, Yad Vashem) 20,000, adjusting growth and migration (Kherson's entry). Germans occupied Nikolayev August 17, 1941 (Longerich, Holocaust, p. 285).

Einsatzgruppen Report No. 101 (October 2, 1941, NO-3157) says: “From September 16 to 30, 22,467 Jews and Communists were executed” around Nikolayev and Kherson. Local accounts (KehilaLinks, Nikolayev) note 5,000 shot at the cemetery by late August, rest in ravines—total aligns with 22,467. By 1942, Nikolayev’s a labor camp (destroyed late ‘42-early ‘43, KehilaLinks) 1,000-2,000 survived, hidden or fled (Kuznetsov, Babi Yar, p. 298, estimates regional survivors).

You Said

I presume you are referring to this; https://holocaustcontroversies.blogspot ... ce-on.html

Yes.

Explain how the Kremas were used as delousing chambers when;

- there is no sign of Prussian Blue staining as seen at actual delousing chambers
- traces of the use of HCN are lower than at the actual delousing chambers
- there are no witnesses to delousing taking place.

Didn't you already concede that Delousing took place when someone who studied the gas chambers from your side of the isle said 95% of them were used for Delousing, now you want to go back to this again? Okay.

No Prussian Blue in Kremas means no HCN use like in delousing chambers.

Prussian Blue—ferric ferrocyanide—needs specific conditions to form. Delousing chambers (e.g., Block 3, BW 5a/b) ran high HCN doses—16-20 g/m³ (Degesch manuals)—for 16-24 hours, repeated daily in 1942-43. That’s why they’re blue, HCN binds iron in damp walls over time (Rudolf, The Rudolf Report, 2003, p. 170, Germar Rudolf’s Site). Sporadic delousing, clothes from typhus dead (1942 hygiene orders)—maybe 1-2 hours, not a dye factory. No blue doesn’t mean no HCN.

Krema II/III’s Leichenkeller were underground, ventilated (10 air changes/hour, NI-4473)—had less humidity than delousing sheds. Prussian Blue loves wet, alkaline walls—Kremas were drier, less reactive (Rudolf, p. 174). Krema I was rebuilt post-war (A-B Museum admits it) original walls got scrubbed. 0-7 mg/kg cyanide in Kremas vs. 1,000-13,500 mg/kg in delousing say Prussian Blue isn’t proof of use. Delousing fits occasional use, as we already talked about in prior replies.

A side example, Majdanek’s Bath and Disinfection I had HCN traces (300-1,200 µg/kg) which shows blue where cycles hit hard. Krema I’s “Entlausungskammer” (blueprints, Pressac, Technique, p. 29) Same gas-tight doors, no blue—less intense, and were still deloused.


traces of the use of HCN are lower than at the actual delousing chambers

Low traces fit delousing perfectly actually. Intensity and context explain it. Delousing chambers soaked in HCN, 19 tons Zyklon B (1942-44, NI-9912) across A-B, hours-long cycles for lice (Degesch, 16 g/m³). Kremas had quick "hits" disinfecting dead prisoners’ gear (camp logs, 1942). The Polish in their Krakow Report in 1994: 0-640 µg/kg in Krema II (mostly 0-50 µg/kg) vs. 900-1,050 µg/kg in Block 3. Less time, less residue, it's pretty simple.

Krema II/III had exhaust systems, 4,000 m³/hour (Topf specs, NI-7179) to clear gas fast. Delousing sheds were stagnant, soaking walls. HCN didn’t linger in Kremas, low traces match that. 0-7 mg/kg in Kremas, 1,000+ mg/kg delousing—show use, just not industrial scale (p. 204 Germar Rudolf). 300 ppm kills people quick, but delousing needs saturation, Kremas fit occasional fumigation, not murder’s 400+ cycles (like Höss said).


there are no witnesses to delousing taking place.

Dude do you even read when I reply? Joseph Erber was an SS guard, Krema I, 1981 interview (Die Auschwitz-Lüge, Christophersen, IHR): “The gas chamber there was used to delouse clothing… no people were gassed in it.” DKrema I’s “Entlausungskammer” (Pressac, p. 29) matches.

Pery Broad, another SS guard (1945 affidavit, NI-11397), mentions “disinfection” tasks in Krema areas (Rudolf Report, p. 237). We already went over how your "witnesses" blatantly contradict each other.


You Said

You have quote mined and misunderstood context. Tauber describes corpses being cremated for at least 30 minutes.

A human body, 40-70 kg, even emaciated, takes 60-90 minutes at 800-1,000°C. Fat burns in 20-30 minutes, bones calcine in 60+. Topf ovens (Krema II) hit 800°C with coke—slow, not fast. Tauber’s “30 minutes per charge” with 4-5 corpses (p. 489) means 6-7.5 minutes each, that's still impossible.

Krema II’s 15 muffles—triple design, one chamber each fit 1-2 bodies, max 3 if starved (Topf’s Prüfer, 1942, 1/hour rate). Tauber’s “4-5” per muffle is a untrue. 160-200 kg of flesh in a 0.7m x 0.6m x 2m space? Overlap slows it, 30 minutes gets you charred husks, not ash. Two charges/hour (8-10 corpses) needs 120-150/hour total—way over Topf’s 360/day cap (24 hours). 30 tons coke/day (NI-11937) burns 50-100 bodies—300 kg/body (open pit data, Rudolf, Dissecting, p. 321).

Tauber’s “continuous” 2,880-3,600/day (15 muffles x 8-10/hour) needs 864-1,080 tons coke—28-36 rail cars daily. No records (Fahrplananordnung)—his “30 minutes” is pure fantasy. But I do love you take the side of totally illogical and unsubstantiated beliefs.

Soviet 1945 interrogations pushed gassing tales (Van Pelt, The Case for Auschwitz, p. 88). Clearly he fell for it too.


You Said

You constantly refuse to link to, name and quote any of the workers. You are lying.

Coming from a person who linked me a horrible blog, you are the last one to complain. Joseph G. Burg visited A-B in fall 1945, spoke to “hundreds” of ex-inmates and workers, and testified at Ernst Zündel’s 1988 trial (Zündel Trial Transcript, Day 26, IHR). He wrote books like Schuld und Schicksal (1962), burned by German authorities for questioning gassing narratives. Again, the internet is free. But I'll tell you what he said.

Burg claimed he interviewed Krema workers, unnamed in public records, who said crematoria handled disease deaths (which corroborates with the forensic and documentary evidence, typhus, 15,000+ in 1942, A-B logs), not gassing victims.

In Verfolgung Unschuldiger (1982), he wrote: “I spoke to workers at the crematoria… they burned bodies of those who died from sickness… no one mentioned gas chambers.” At Zündel’s trial, he testified: “I asked about crematoria, hospitals, the bakery, not gas chambers. They said disease took most lives” (Day 26, 6892-6894). Burg didn’t publish the names, he was protecting identities in post-war chaos. Burg’s books are suppressed, originals torched (Henry Makow, 2017, henrymakow.com). Trial transcripts back him, Canadian prosecutors didn’t cross-examine because his account rattled them.

She told the court: “I saw bodies burned… from typhus, starvation… no gassing. Chimneys smoked when they ran—sporadic, not constant” (Trial Transcript, Day 14, 3520-3524). She was in “Kanada” (sorting goods), close to Krema I, and saw ovens fire up for disease dead—15,000+ in ‘42 (A-B death books). No mention of gas chambers—just delousing showers with Zyklon B.

Let's now see how they both corroborate:

Kurt Prüfer (Topf engineer, Soviet interrogation, 1946): “Ovens smoked without pre-heated air… burned slower, 1-2/hour per muffle.” Krema II/III’s 15 muffles max 360/day (Topf specs, NI-7179. Coke logs state 30 tons/day, which burn 50-100 bodies, not thousands.

Air Photos from August 25, 1944 show no smoke from Krema II/III during alleged peak gassing. Sporadic runs, such as typhus spikes, fit Van Herwaarden’s “sometimes smoking.” and the documentary and forensic evidence.

Burg’s workers and Prüfer align perfectly, crematoria handled disease dead, not gas victims.

The citations are within the (). Do your due diligence.


You Said

The narrative is of gassings. The details vary as to how many were gassed etc, but they are consistent there were gassings and no witness contradicts that. They universally agree, gassings took place, there is no contradiction.

Earlier you leaned on witnesses like Tauber to “prove” Kremas were gas chambers, implying a tight narrative, no contradictions. I then showed you with Tauber’s “5-7 minutes” vs. physics, and you pivoted to “at least 30 minutes”, dodging. Now, you've cornered yourself: “Details vary… but they’re consistent on gassings, no contradiction.” That’s a full retreat, your own rule (“contradictory witness says something opposite to the narrative”) You are hiding behind a flimsy “gassing consensus” while waving off fatal inconsistencies.

“No witness contradicts that.” Flat-out lie, they do:

- Joseph Erber: SS guard, Krema I—“used to delouse clothing… no people were gassed” (1981, Die Auschwitz-Lüge , IHR).
- Maria Van Herwaarden: A-B, 1942—“bodies burned… typhus, starvation… no gassing” (Zündel Trial, Day 14, JHR , Vol. 9, 1989).
- Joseph Burg: Interviewed Krema workers—“disease took most lives… no gas chambers” (Zündel Trial, Day 26, IHR).

“They agree on gassings.” Yes, Zyklon B was used—19 tons. The contradictions point to delousing.


You Said

Now evidence delousing taking place inside the Kremas, with witness who were working there, or documents recording the delousing of clothing.

Kremas like Krema I had delousing roles (e.g., “Entlausungskammer,” Pressac, p. 29), backed by HCN traces (Krakow 1994) and witnesses like Erber and Van Herwaarden. Joseph Erber worked perimeter duty around Krema I, close enough to see operations, his role gave him access to SS routines. Krema I. His claim aligns with Krema I’s “Entlausungskammer” label (blueprints, Pressac, Technique, p. 29)—a fumigation room. HCN traces—0-640 µg/kg (Krakow 1994) which fit sporadic delousing. Forensic and documentary evidence, which is superior to that of witnesses, proves me right. Plans label a room “Entlausungskammer” (delousing chamber) and “Gaskammer” (gas chamber)—interchangeable terms (Pressac, p. 29, 1941 docs). Krema I, built 1940, modified 1941-42 for “disinfection” (A-B commandant orders, 1942). 19 tons Zyklon B were shipped (NI-9912), most for delousing (Degesch, 16-24 hour cycles).

“Entlausungskammer” isn’t ambiguous either, clothing delousing was SS protocol (NI-9913, gas-tight doors for fumigation). HCN traces (0-640 µg/kg) match occasional use—900 µg/kg in Block 3 is industrial delousing.

You Said

This is getting repetitive. Quote and name a worker, or else I am calling you out as a liar.

It's repetitive because you are denying both physics and evidence.

Henryk Mandelbaum, Sonderkommando, Krema II/III, 1944. Deported from Sosnowiec, worked the ovens. Testified in 1947 (Krakow trial): “We burned bodies… many died of typhus and hunger before the big transports. Later, it was thousands daily—Hungarians.” (Cited in Auschwitz: The Case for Sanity, Mattogno, p. 412.). Mandelbaum confirms early cremations were disease-driven—15,000 in 1942 (A-B logs)—and clothes were lice-ridden, needing treatment (SS hygiene orders, NO-021). Krema II’s Leichenkeller had HCN traces (0-50 µg/kg, Krakow 1994), fit for occasional fumigation.

You deny disinfection of clothes? Substantiate that if you do. (And read SS Hygiene Order, August 12, 1942). SS physician Ernst Grawitz: “The typhus epidemic is out of control… crematoria are for the dead, not executions.” (Cited in Auschwitz: A Judge Looks, Stäglich, p. 87.)


You Said

All you are doing is denying, you are not revising. Your incredulity and inability to work out how gassings, cremations and burials took place has no evidential value. You are lying that I am theorising, all the evidence from the AR camps themselves proves gassings, cremations and burials.

I’m revising the gassing narrative with specifics such as Crematoria capacities, fuel logs, forensic traces, and witness contradictions. All I've said has been “here’s what did, backed by X.” No HCN or CO residue in alleged chambers. Friedrich Berg (1984, JHR). Diesel exhaust from Soviet tank engines (Treblinka’s claim) takes 30+ minutes to kill (CO at 0.4%), not 10-15 per witnesses like Yankel Wiernik (A Year in Treblinka, 1944). Sobibor’s “gas chamber” ruins—0.1% CO max (Lüftl, 1992) is laughably slow. No Zyklon B traces at Treblinka. Wiernik says “10 minutes, gas from engines” (p. 28), but Eliahu Rosenberg (1947, Sobibor trial) claims “20-25 minutes, pipes from a motor.” Contradiction—engine type? Pipe setup? Rudolf Reder (Belzec, 1946) says “15 minutes, exhaust,” but no blueprints match. There are no German orders for gas chambers—EM No. 156 (1942) says “special treatment” for church aid, not killing (Mallmann, p. 89). Himmler’s July 5, 1943, order: Sobibor as a “concentration camp” for munitions repair (Sobibor, Graf, p. 182). No gassing.

Your proof specifically for the 200m x 100m goes as assumes pits = mass graves = 800,000 dead (Höfle Telegram, intercepted 1943, 713,555 by Dec ’42). Which just shows your intellectual calibre. Soviet 1945 Treblinka Commission dug 36 pits—found “thousands” of bone fragments and ash. (Report, Aug 24, 1945, GARF 7021-115-9).

No millions. Caroline Sturdy Colls’ 2012 GPR scan (Smithsonian doc) confirms disturbed soil, no quantified remains—pits could be trash, latrines, or partial burials. Let's compare Verdun, 130,000 in ossuaries from 300,000+ dead over 300 km²—density’s way higher than TII’s 5 acres.

Cremating 800,000 (2,000/day, 1942-43) needs 240 million kg wood—300 kg/body, open pits (Rajzman, IMT Vol. 8, p. 326)

What's your proof? Witnesses like Rajzman—“pyres burned day and night”—and 800,000 cremated? TII’s emaciated bodies (40-50 kg, typhus/starvation) still need 200-300 kg of wood. 800,000 x 300 kg = 240 million kg. At 2,000/day (400 days, Mar ’42-Oct ’43), that’s 600,000 kg/day—600 tons. A forest’s worth—2 acres of mature trees (50 tons/acre) daily. No aerial photos (Aug 1944, NARA) show wood piles or convoys. You have the evidence? Provide it. Rajzman claims “5-6 pyres, 2,000/day” but Chil Rajchman (1944 memoir) says “10 pyres, 10,000/day.” That is once again, a Contradiction. Capacity jumps 5x? SS-Pfannenstiel (1963, Munich) saw “small fires,” not industrial scale.

Why can't you admit 240 million kg of wood is absurd, there was hardly a supply chain (Dorpmüller, rail chief, saw no “death trains”).

The Wannsee Conference was in January 1942, when the main actions against the Jews, was the mass shootings by the EG. Hence the minutes record Estonia as Jew free and huge drops in the populations of Latvia and Lithuania. As you say, there was no explicit call for gassings, but AR had yet to start and Chelmno was still a small scale operation. Those drops in population are inconsistent with a resettlement policy, of which the conference has nothing to say about.

Okay so you concede Wannsee conference has no references to mass extermination or whatever the basic holocaust histography claims lol. Then we'll leave it at that. As for your gassing bit there, you can't substantiate that so until you can, it's not worth my effort.

I have not made any concession, as I have not changed position, since I have never argued that Wannsee has references to gassings. I do say it makes a reference to mass extermination,

"The possible final remnant will, since it will undoubtedly consist of the most resistant portion, have to be treated accordingly, because it is the product of natural selection and would, if released, act as a the seed of a new Jewish revival (see the experience of history.)"

That is not a reference to the resettlement of the final remnant, something you want to dodge.

You said

The planning involved in resettling millions of Jews would be enormous, a huge drain on resources, yet Wannsee, "the Final Solution of the Jewish people" has nothing. The "so-called transit ghettos", which you identify as Riga and Minsk, took in Jews, but there is no evidence they were they tranisted and resettled anywhere else. The Riga and Minsk ghettos had closed in October 1943, which leaves the question, "where did all those Jews go?", unanswered by revisionists, or so-called revisionists, as they cannot revise the history and produce evidence of resettlement.

It’s a 90-minute meeting, not a logistics manual. “Evacuation to the East” and “transit ghettos” (NG-2586, p. 7) are there—Riga and Minsk named elsewhere (Einsatzgruppen Report No. 92, Mallmann, p. 545). Planning’s implied Heydrich’s “proper guidance” and “work columns”. Germany moved 3 million Soviet POWs by 1942 (Overmans, Deutsche militärische Verluste, p. 277) Jews were less, 500,000 deported by mid-1942 (Browning, Origins, p. 363). Your “enormous” claim’s a strawman, Wannsee’s a start of a strategy , was not some sort of shipping schedule. You say Riga and Minsk ghettos took Jews, but there’s “no evidence” they went elsewhere, closing by October 1943—implying murder. This is just wrong dude.

Riga got 20,000+ Jews (1941-42, German rail logs, Fahrplananordnung No. 587); Minsk, 35,000 (EG reports). Post-1943, survivors went east—Kaunas labor camps (5,000 from Riga, see the Yad Vashem Encyclopedia, Jewish source but you'll like it that way), Minsk Jews to Sobibor (2,000, Arad, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, p. 76) or dispersed (partisans, USSR flight).

Ghetto closures don’t mean “all gassed”—Höfle Telegram (January 1943) logs 1.27 million to AR camps, outbound trains existed (e.g., Minsk to Maly Trostenets, 10,000 killed, not gassed, Soviet Commission, 1944). Disease in 1942-43 had the epidemics hit hard (20-30% mortality according to Red Cross). You are endlessly insisting Wannsee’s “no resettlement planning” means murder “Final Solution” (NG-2586) as death, not displacement. “Natural causes” (labor attrition) and “treated accordingly” (vague) don’t spell out gassings. Shootings (Could be 1.1 million) and disease (100,000+) fit. USSR relocated 1.5 million Poles, 1940-41 (Gross, Revolution from Abroad, p. 226). The Germans didn’t need a neat plan. Wannsee’s silence on gassing, AR’s later launch, all points to labor East. You say “no planning” somehow proves intent? That's just illogical, it only proves nothing but your bias.

Your “where’d they go” already has answers dude. Shootings, labor, chaos, not gas chambers. For some reason you hold onto an answer with the least amount of documentary and forensic evidence.

You are right, it was a meeting, not a logistics manual. So, where is the logistics manual for the resettlement of around 5 to 6 million Jews arrested 1939-44? What department was responsible for the accommodation of that "final remnant" of millions of Jews supposedly not murdered? Which Nazi was responsible for running the department? Where was it based? Where are all the documents detailing the camps and ghettos being used in 1944-5? Where did all the guards come from, needed to guard around 5 to 6 million Jews in the east?

You said

You dispute all you want that Wannsee included planning for murder, it certainly included no planning for resettlement. That the senior Nazis present, did not want to be associated with the murders, is hardly surprising. The dirty work was left to more junior SS.

The protocol (Nuremberg Doc. NG-2586) says: “Jews fit to work will work their way eastwards constructing roads… a large portion will be eliminated by natural causes… the remnant will be treated accordingly.” “Natural causes” means disease—like typhus, and starvation, not gas chambers. “Treated accordingly” is vague, no gas vans or Kremas here; Aktion Reinhard starts July 1942, Chelmno’s small (50,000, Longerich, Holocaust, p. 287). Einsatzgruppen shootings rule by mid-’42. Wannsee’s “11 million” (NG-2586) is a LABOR POOL and that is something the Germans NEEDED.

Heydrich’s “appropriate labor in the East” ain’t a death camp rollout. Murder’s your assumption, deportation’s is the literal text. “no planning for resettlement”??? “Evacuation to the East” and “transit ghettos” (NG-2586, p. 7) aren’t nothing. Riga took 20,000+ Jews (1941-42, rail logs, Fahrplananordnung No. 587), Minsk 35,000 (EG Report No. 92, Mallmann, p. 545). Where’d they go? Kaunas labor camps (5,000 from Riga, Yad Vashem), Sobibor (2,000 from Minsk, Arad, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, p. 76), Maly Trostenets (10,000 shot, Soviet Commission, 1944). Nazis moved 3 million Soviet POWs by ’42 (Overmans, Deutsche militärische Verluste, p. 277) deporting Jews eastward was doable, no grand “plan” needed beyond “work them hard” in the camps.

Why can no so-called revisionist produce any evidence to prove millions of Jews still alive in camps and ghettos in 1944?

You Said

You are jumping about. Provide a camp where Larson did an autopsy, that had gas chambers and was not cremating the corpses that had been gassed. Otherwise, you have explained why he found no evidence of gassing.

Larson autopsied 100+ bodies across twenty camps, starting at Dachau (liberated April 29, 1945), April-May 1945 (Crime Doctor, 1975; Wichita Eagle, April 1, 1980). Larson’s 25 autopsies/day for 10 days (250 total), plus 300-1,000 cursory checks, found typhus, TB, starvation, no poisoning (Crime Doctor, p. 87). Crematoria broke down—2 muffles, 30 tons coke total (NI-11937), couldn’t burn 10,000+ claimed dead. The bodies piled up, uncremated yet no cyanide traces. Larson’s team hit sub-camps like Landsberg (Kaufering network, liberated late April). No gas chambers were there, but 5,000+ bodies unburied. His Autopsies once again showed disease. Mainstream says A-B’s 1.1 million gassed were cremated, but Larson’s broader sweep (20 sites) should’ve caught stragglers if gassing was systemic.Dachau’s apparently had “gas chamber" and unburned bodies, Larson found nothing.

According to the nonsense you believe, A-B gassing stopped January 1945 (Piper, Auschwitz: How Many, 1994)—liberated January 27. Larson’s April-May window should’ve caught traces if 1-1.5 million were gassed. HCN lingers in human tissue. Death books (66,000, disease/shootings, Hinsley, British Intelligence, p. 673) both state no gassings specifically at Auschwitz.

Time for you to be question. if A-B stopped gassing January ’45—where’s your proof 1.1 million were cremated by the 27th, with 2,188 tons coke and fleeing SS? Show me the coal pile photo.


You Said

Not when the corpses were being cremated after the gassings, as was the case at A-B.

A-B’s 52 muffles (Kremas II-V) burned 360 bodies/day—1-2 per muffle, 1-2 hours (Kurt Prüfer, Topf engineer, 1942 specs, Mattogno, Auschwitz: Crematoriums, p. 67).

Prüfer’s design states 1 body/muffle/hour optimal, 2 max with overlap (Topf manual, Betriebsvorschrift, p. 3).

52 muffles x 2 x 24 hours = 2,496 theoretical max, but heat loss, maintenance, and ash removal cap it at 360/day (SS memo, June 28, 1943, NI-7179). Hungarian peak (May-July ’44, 437,000 arrived, ~100,000 dead, Piper, Auschwitz: How Many, p. 148) is 1,400/day average over 70 days. No aerial photos show coal/wood piles for that scale. 360/day crematoria + pits couldn’t erase 1.1 million by January ’45 ( your gassing halt). 2,188 Tons Coke Can’t Burn 1.1 Million People. If Kremas burned all 1.1 million post-gassing, where’d the extra 27,512 tons of coke (or 176,000 tons wood) come from? Show me the delivery log.









You Said

You are using evidence of gassings, to claim there were no gassings. You leap about from camp to camp, witness to witness, without any sense of chronology or connection. You have a similalr style of presentation as Mattogno, who leaps about thrown evidence around, with no sense of cohesion.

I’m not “using gassing evidence” I’m showing your gassing claims (Tauber, Krema traces) collapse under scrutiny. “Vergasung” in SS docs (e.g., NI-9913, 1942) ties to Zyklon B for lice and camp hygiene orders (Aug 12, 1942, NO-021):

“Disinfect clothing… in available chambers.”

Krema I’s 1941 blueprints label it “Entlausungskammer”—delousing, not homicide. Krema II/III’s Leichenkeller (morgues) had vents and doors (NI-4473) which is standard for fumigating clothes from typhus dead. Degesch manuals, 16 g/m³ HCN, 1-2 hour cycles, vents to clear gas safely. Gassing humans needs 300 ppm (0.3 g/m³) to kill fast. Krema II’s 300 m³ Leichenkeller needs 90 g Zyklon B/cycle, not 5-7 kg Tauber claims (Pressac, p. 481). No showerheads or pillars in blueprints, just morgue vents.

My focus is A-B, 1941-45:
1941: Krema I’s delousing chamber (blueprints).

1942: Typhus, 19 tons Zyklon B (NI-9912), delousing orders—Krema II/III built (NI-4473).

1944: Hungarian surge—cremation caps out, traces are low (Krakow).

1945: Larson’s autopsies—no cyanide (Wichita Eagle). Witnesses (Höss, Tauber) coerced or impossible.



You Said

This is again getting repetitive. You have failed to evidence a camp with gassing operations, that buried its dead, that Larsen went to. A-B cremated the dead, in its Kremas.

1945 Larson started there (Crime Doctor, p. 87). Mainstream Holocaust Historians says a gas chamber existed (Krema I), used “experimentally”, not mass-scale. Crematoria (2 muffles) broke down, 30 tons of coke total burned ~1,000 of 10,000+ dead. April 29 footage (US Army, NARA RG 111) the barracks is stuffed with unburned corpses, fresh from typhus and starvation. Larson’s 25 autopsies a day.

You Said

Tauber said;

"In continuous operation, we could burn two charges per hour. According to the regulations, were supposed to charge the muffles every half hour. 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. Because with that quantity we were obliged to work without interruption, for as soon as the last muffle was charged, the contents of the first had been consumed. In order to be able to take a pause during the work, we would charge 4 or 5 corpses in each muffle. The incineration of such a charge took longer, and after charging the last muffle, we had a few minutes' break until the first one was again available."

Stop quote mining and altering the order he gave his testimony. He is clearly stating it was 30 minutes in the oven for corpses, before more corpses were added. Capo August gave an average of 5 to 7 minutes.

Nice try, but Tauber’s testimony (Pressac, p. 483) doesn’t bend that way, and cremation science buries it either way. Tauber says, “5 to 7 minutes was allowed to burn one corpse in a muffle” per “calculations and plans”—a specific rate from Ober Capo August, not a loose average.

Tauber’s sequence (Pressac, p. 483): “Ober Capo August explained… 5 to 7 minutes was allowed to burn one corpse… We could burn two charges per hour… regulations… every half hour.” The 5-7 minute claim comes first, tied to “plans,” before the 30-minute cycle or 4-5 corpse batches. It’s not derived from “two charges per hour”—it’s a standalone design spec August cited. “Allowed to burn one corpse” isn’t “averaged across a batch”; it’s a per-unit time.

Later, Tauber says 4-5 corpses “took longer” than the “continuous” pace—implying 5-7 minutes is the fast, single-corpse rate, not a batch average like you are claiming. If 4-5 take 30 minutes (6-7.5 each), why’s August’s “plans” figure lower? Tauber’s not averaging. Cremating one body takes 60-90 minutes (Topf specs, Mattogno, Auschwitz: Crematoriums, p. 67) 5-7 minutes is impossible. Im not going over the physics argument again, you never refuted the 2 other times I mentioned it because you can't.


You Said

Or a document about the delousing. Muller speaks to the gassing of people insdie the Kremas, so your use of him as a witness is odd, to say the least.

SS Hygiene Order, August 12, 1942: “Disinfection of all clothing and bedding… use Zyklon B in available chambers” (NO-021, Rudolf, Dissecting, p. 219). Kremas doubled as morgues and fumigation spots.

Müller, p. 33: “The disinfection squad arrived… Zyklon B was used to fumigate clothing in the delousing chambers near Krema I.” Later (p. 142), he claims gassing in Krema II—2,000/cycle, 20-30 minutes. But “disinfection” near Krema I (1942) aligns with Erber and blueprints (Pressac, p. 29).

Leuchter and Rudolf would completely disagree with you. Others argue the Kremas were used to store corpses, as bomb shelters or mass showers, totally contradicting your claims.

Leuchter and Rudolf nix gassing with forensics, I simply add operational context. Not necessarily “disagreement” Moreso a practical extension. They’d agree at my traces (0-640 µg/kg) and delousing fit. Where’s his 1,000 µg/kg for 1.1 million gassed? Mattogno says they stored bodies pre-cremation, sure. But 15,000 typhus dead (1942) and Hungarian spike (1944, 100,000) needed burning—52 muffles (360/day, Prüfer) and pits (Müller, p. 142). Storage was step one, delousing clothes and cremating followed.

I'm not even debating them, Im debating you, and I've debated such on Quora, and you must be the weakest of the bunch I've had to argue with.

You Said

The link you provided goes to and IHR site that states, "This page does not exist !". Link to where I can read the quote.

The 1981 interview’s quoted in Christophersen’s book was republished and archived. You can read it on this forum: https://codoh.com/library/document/ausc ... tophersen/. Scroll to the section on “Witnesses”—Erber’s cited (p. 14 in the PDF version, translated from German). He was an SS-Unterscharführer at A-B, 1942-43, stationed near Krema I, and described Zyklon B delousing clothing in the “gas chamber”—no human gassings.

So not a Krema, a different place. How does that help your claim the Kremas were used?

Do you think “disinfection block near Krema I” means a separate building, not Krema I itself, so it doesn’t prove Kremas were used for delousing? Müller, p. 33: “The clothing of new arrivals was taken to the disinfection block near Krema I, where it was treated with Zyklon B.”

This is 1942—Auschwitz I, before Birkenau’s Kremas (II-V) ramped up. Krema I’s the only crematorium there, its “gas chamber” (per mainstream narrative) was operational then. Müller’s “near” doesn’t exclude Krema I; it’s the hub. Pressac (Technique, p. 29)—1941 blueprints label Krema I’s chamber “Entlausungskammer” (delousing)—disinfection happened inside or adjacent. Erber: 1981 (CODOH link: https://codoh.com/library/document/ausc ... tophersen/, p. 14) 1942-43: “The gas chamber there was used to delouse clothing… no people were gassed.” Matches Müller’s disinfection timing, the 1942 typhus peak.

You Said

Being wrong is not the same as lying. If you had any knowledge of witnesses and estimating time, you would know he was unlikely to be accurate.

Zyklon B pellets release HCN gas slowly (Degesch manuals, 10-20 g/kg evaporation, 10-15 minutes full release, Rudolf, Dissecting, p. 197). Krema II’s Leichenkeller (300 m³, Pressac, p. 287) 3,000 people need 300 ppm (0.3 g/m³) to kill fast, 90 g Zyklon B minimum (5-7 kg claimed, Müller, p. 80, is overkill). Even at 5 kg, gas spreads unevenly, ventilation (NI-4473) clears it, but 5-10 minutes? Half the room’s still breathing (Berg, JHR, 1984—CO takes 30+ minutes at low density). Your argument boils down as witnesses misjudge time! it’s not lying, just human!

Müller’s off in more than one place, “6,000/day burned” (1944) vs. 52 muffles’ 360/day (Prüfer, Topf specs). 5-10 minutes isn’t a casual “oops” it’s one of the main ways we get to your Krema II gassing claim (3,000/cycle, 20-30 minute total, p. 80). If he’s that wrong, what’s reliable?

You Said

Hungarians and Lodz arrivals here;http://www.deathcamps.org/occupation/glaser.htmThere was no typhus epidemic and the high volume arrivals explain the high use of the Kremas. You have misunderstood and quote mined Tauber, who was referring to anther person's estimated average. Tauber clearly states at least 30 minutes for the corpses.

For someone who loves proximity wanting only those in the gas chamber itself, using Glaser is a strange reach for you. Glaser was a kapo in the “Kanada” section, sorting confiscated goods. His testimony is secondhand, he saw smoke, smelled burning, and heard rumors of gas chambers. Compare this to Salmen Mandelbaum (1947), a Krema worker, who detailed burning typhus victims and later “thousands daily.” Glaser offers no specifics, no body counts, no fuel estimates, no operational details.

Partial 1944 death books list ~50,000 deaths from disease, shootings, and starvation. Typhus declined after 1943 due to vaccines and delousing, but camp logs (USHMM) note “epidemics of dysentery and typhus-like diseases” into 1944. Himmler himself, in July 1944, called sanitation “still critical” (Longerich, Himmler, p. 712). Even Glaser’s 1945 statement admits typhus lingered, though less severe than in 1942.


As for Tauber, he literally says “5 to 7 minutes… per the plans” (Pressac, p. 483), then later “two charges per hour… 4 or 5 corpses” (p. 489). The 5-7 minute claim stands alone—it’s not an “average” tied to 30 minutes. Two charges/hour means 30-minute cycles, 4-5 bodies in 30 minutes still averages 6-7.5 minutes each, which he echoes earlier. No “other person’s estimate” here—you’re spinning.

I do not know of surviving records of coke or wood deliveries for the Kremas. There is a labour force document from July 1944, that recorded 33 workers at the Kremas who were "wood unloaders".

A camp does not just have to have used a gas chamber, it has to have used that chamber to gas people, such that their corpses were still available for Larson to have autopsied them. It is bizarre that you think the Nazis gassed people in 1942,3,4 or the start of 1945 and then they preserved the corpses, so that when the camps were liberated, they could then be autopsied.

This is another example of how revisionists fail to understand chronology.

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?

Tauber said;

"In continuous operation, we could burn two charges per hour. According to the regulations, were supposed to charge the muffles every half hour. 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.

It’s not derived from “two charges per hour”—it’s a standalone design spec August cited. “Allowed to burn one corpse” isn’t “averaged across a batch”; it’s a per-unit time.

Later, Tauber says 4-5 corpses “took longer” than the “continuous” pace—implying 5-7 minutes is the fast, single-corpse rate, not a batch average like you are claiming. If 4-5 take 30 minutes (6-7.5 each), why’s August’s “plans” figure lower? Tauber’s not averaging. Cremating one body takes 60-90 minutes (Topf specs, Mattogno, Auschwitz: Crematoriums, p. 67) 5-7 minutes is impossible. Im not going over the physics argument again, you never refuted the 2 other times I mentioned it because you can't.

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.

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.

If the original 4 to 5 corpses then spend 30 minutes below the grate, before the cremains are removed, then they have all each spend an hour in the oven.

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.

I am not disputing the physics that a corpse can be cremated in 5 to 7 minutes, as it cannot. I am disputing Capo August's maths, as related by Tauber.

You Said

Or a document about the delousing. Muller speaks to the gassing of people insdie the Kremas, so your use of him as a witness is odd, to say the least.

SS Hygiene Order, August 12, 1942: “Disinfection of all clothing and bedding… use Zyklon B in available chambers” (NO-021, Rudolf, Dissecting, p. 219). Kremas doubled as morgues and fumigation spots.

Müller, p. 33: “The disinfection squad arrived… Zyklon B was used to fumigate clothing in the delousing chambers near Krema I.” Later (p. 142), he claims gassing in Krema II—2,000/cycle, 20-30 minutes. But “disinfection” near Krema I (1942) aligns with Erber and blueprints (Pressac, p. 29).

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.

Leuchter and Rudolf would completely disagree with you. Others argue the Kremas were used to store corpses, as bomb shelters or mass showers, totally contradicting your claims.

Leuchter and Rudolf nix gassing with forensics, I simply add operational context. Not necessarily “disagreement” Moreso a practical extension. They’d agree at my traces (0-640 µg/kg) and delousing fit. Where’s his 1,000 µg/kg for 1.1 million gassed? Mattogno says they stored bodies pre-cremation, sure. But 15,000 typhus dead (1942) and Hungarian spike (1944, 100,000) needed burning—52 muffles (360/day, Prüfer) and pits (Müller, p. 142). Storage was step one, delousing clothes and cremating followed.

I'm not even debating them, Im debating you, and I've debated such on Quora, and you must be the weakest of the bunch I've had to argue with.

What do you say the Kremas II to V were each used for 1943-4? You jump about all over the place.

The link you provided goes to and IHR site that states, "This page does not exist !". Link to where I can read the quote.

The 1981 interview’s quoted in Christophersen’s book was republished and archived. You can read it on this forum: https://codoh.com/library/document/ausc ... tophersen/. Scroll to the section on “Witnesses”—Erber’s cited (p. 14 in the PDF version, translated from German). He was an SS-Unterscharführer at A-B, 1942-43, stationed near Krema I, and described Zyklon B delousing clothing in the “gas chamber”—no human gassings.

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.

So not a Krema, a different place. How does that help your claim the Kremas were used?

Do you think “disinfection block near Krema I” means a separate building, not Krema I itself, so it doesn’t prove Kremas were used for delousing? Müller, p. 33: “The clothing of new arrivals was taken to the disinfection block near Krema I, where it was treated with Zyklon B.”

Obviously a disinfection block near Krema I, is a different building to Krema I.

This is 1942—Auschwitz I, before Birkenau’s Kremas (II-V) ramped up. Krema I’s the only crematorium there, its “gas chamber” (per mainstream narrative) was operational then. Müller’s “near” doesn’t exclude Krema I; it’s the hub. Pressac (Technique, p. 29)—1941 blueprints label Krema I’s chamber “Entlausungskammer” (delousing)—disinfection happened inside or adjacent. Erber: 1981 (CODOH link: https://codoh.com/library/document/ausc ... tophersen/, p. 14) 1942-43: “The gas chamber there was used to delouse clothing… no people were gassed.” Matches Müller’s disinfection timing, the 1942 typhus peak.

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.

You Said

Being wrong is not the same as lying. If you had any knowledge of witnesses and estimating time, you would know he was unlikely to be accurate.

Zyklon B pellets release HCN gas slowly (Degesch manuals, 10-20 g/kg evaporation, 10-15 minutes full release, Rudolf, Dissecting, p. 197). Krema II’s Leichenkeller (300 m³, Pressac, p. 287) 3,000 people need 300 ppm (0.3 g/m³) to kill fast, 90 g Zyklon B minimum (5-7 kg claimed, Müller, p. 80, is overkill). Even at 5 kg, gas spreads unevenly, ventilation (NI-4473) clears it, but 5-10 minutes? Half the room’s still breathing (Berg, JHR, 1984—CO takes 30+ minutes at low density). Your argument boils down as witnesses misjudge time! it’s not lying, just human!

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.

Müller’s off in more than one place, “6,000/day burned” (1944) vs. 52 muffles’ 360/day (Prüfer, Topf specs). 5-10 minutes isn’t a casual “oops” it’s one of the main ways we get to your Krema II gassing claim (3,000/cycle, 20-30 minute total, p. 80). If he’s that wrong, what’s reliable?

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.

You Said

Hungarians and Lodz arrivals here;http://www.deathcamps.org/occupation/glaser.htmThere was no typhus epidemic and the high volume arrivals explain the high use of the Kremas. You have misunderstood and quote mined Tauber, who was referring to anther person's estimated average. Tauber clearly states at least 30 minutes for the corpses.

For someone who loves proximity wanting only those in the gas chamber itself, using Glaser is a strange reach for you. Glaser was a kapo in the “Kanada” section, sorting confiscated goods. His testimony is secondhand, he saw smoke, smelled burning, and heard rumors of gas chambers. Compare this to Salmen Mandelbaum (1947), a Krema worker, who detailed burning typhus victims and later “thousands daily.” Glaser offers no specifics, no body counts, no fuel estimates, no operational details.

Partial 1944 death books list ~50,000 deaths from disease, shootings, and starvation. Typhus declined after 1943 due to vaccines and delousing, but camp logs (USHMM) note “epidemics of dysentery and typhus-like diseases” into 1944. Himmler himself, in July 1944, called sanitation “still critical” (Longerich, Himmler, p. 712). Even Glaser’s 1945 statement admits typhus lingered, though less severe than in 1942.

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.

As for Tauber, he literally says “5 to 7 minutes… per the plans” (Pressac, p. 483), then later “two charges per hour… 4 or 5 corpses” (p. 489). The 5-7 minute claim stands alone—it’s not an “average” tied to 30 minutes. Two charges/hour means 30-minute cycles, 4-5 bodies in 30 minutes still averages 6-7.5 minutes each, which he echoes earlier. No “other person’s estimate” here—you’re spinning.

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?

You Said

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

I do not know of surviving records of coke or wood deliveries for the Kremas. There is a labour force document from July 1944, that recorded 33 workers at the Kremas who were "wood unloaders".

https://phdn.org/archives/holocaust-his ... /19440728/

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.

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.

Not when he did not autopsy a corpse from a camp that had operational gas chambers, that then did not cremate those corpses.

You are not very good with chronology.

.....

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.

The 29,700 tons is a revisionist estimation, that ignores the Topf & Sons engineer evidence as to how the ovens worked.

You Said

I do not know of surviving records of coke or wood deliveries for the Kremas. There is a labour force document from July 1944, that recorded 33 workers at the Kremas who were "wood unloaders".

https://phdn.org/archives/holocaust-his ... /19440728/

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.

Your estimations must be wrong. Topf & Sons engineers explained that once the ovens were up to heat, the constant introduction of corpses, which then burnt, heated the ovens.

You Ignored Soviet photos (Jan ’45) showing A-B’s unburned corpses, prove 1.1 million were cremated.

What Soviet photos? Some photos of unburnt corpses would not be sufficient evidence to prove 1.1 million were cremated. Goodness knows where you got that idea from.

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.

What worker from the Kremas speaks to delousing inside the Kremas? Name and link to his testimony please. I am calling out on this one, saying you will fail to provide the name and link, because you are lying.

The blueprints are from the original Krema designs, and they do not show subsequent gas chamber modifications. There is no SS order for delousing in the Kremas, instead there are orders regarding secretive special actions involving inform prisoners, Jews and Hungarians.

I’m not presenting Höss, Tauber, or Zyklon B as proof of gassing, I’m testing your evidence and finding it wanting.

Your arguments from incredulity are not logical and so are not a credible test of the evidence from the witnesses or usage of Zyklon B.

Höss’s numbers shift (1.5-3 million, Nuremberg) under torture (Rupert Butler, Legions of Death, 1983) unreliable.

Yes, Hoess death toll is unreliable and exaggerated. His evidence that mass gassings took place, is corroborated.

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).

The corpses, according to Tauber, were in the ovens for at least 30 minutes. They were 30 minutes on the grate, then raked through and he does not say how long they were in the ash box below, till they were removed. The cremations were of naked corpses and incomplete, so not to ashes, so they did not need to 2+ hours.

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).

That assumes that memo was the actual capacity, since witnesses speak to adding extra corpses. Plus, there were outdoor cremations.

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.

You take the evidence of gassings and cremations, argue why you find it incredulous and claim, illogically, therefore no gassings and cremations. Just because you cannot work out the science, does not therefore mean you have proved no gassings and cremations.

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.”

If the Kremas were used to delouse clothing, why is there no blue staining as found on the delousing chamber walls? Why do other so called revisionists disagree with you and claim the Kremas were variously used for mass showering, corpse stores and bomb shelters? Erber's claim is not corroborated and is contradicted by everyone who worked inside Krema I. Why do you cherry pick one witness and ignore all the other evidence as to the function of Krema I?

Death books log 66,000 deaths (1942-44, and British Cryptologist Hinsley) say mostly typhus, dysentery, starvation (1,300 calories/day, camp logs).

The death books do not log the cause of death of anyone who arrived the camp and was not registered to work there, hence they miss out all the gassed.

2,188 tons coke (Russian archives) burns ~80,000 bodies (27 kg/body)—matches logged deaths, not 1.1 million.

In your opinion, which has no evidential value.

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?

The forensics, physical, documentary and circumstantial evidence corroborate the witness claims of mass arrivals, selections, mass gassings of those not needed for work and mass cremations. Bletchley was concentrating on U-boats and the D Day Invasion, not camps in Poland. You are being dishonest claiming all I have is a few lying witnesses, when you have none.

1.1 million cremations need 29,700 tons coke or 176,000 tons wood, show delivery records.

There are no surviving records to support your calculations, which ignore witness descriptions of how the ovens worked.

Where’s your SS document ordering gassing in Kremas show a clear homicide directive.

There is no gassing order. Instead, there are orders about a secretive action involving the special treatment of inform prisoners, Jews and Hungarians. That is documentary evidence which corroborates witnesses.

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 have failed to show how Larson would access a gassed corpse, in the spring of 1945, when the last gassings took place at the end of 1944 and all gassed corpses were cremated.

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.

Yes. If you put 4 to 5 corpses into an oven for 30 minutes, the average time those corpses are in the oven, is 30 minutes, as they are all in for 30 minutes.

The problem is Tauber never describes such a process...

Yes he does, and you quote him...

, 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.”

There you go, two charges per hour, load and wait for 30 minutes before loading again.

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.

You are wrong, as the Topf & Sons engineer Sander describe the same process as Tauber.

"The crematorium for mass incineration should be developed after the principle of the assembly line, and into the oven corpses should be incessantly introduced for cremation by mechanical means.
The corpses should get into the oven under the load of their own weight, falling by themselves upon the grid on a fireproof surface with an inclination of 40 degrees and burning under the effect of the fire. The corpses themselves were to serve as an additional source of fuel."

Sander does not give timings, but 30 minutes in the top of the oven and then falling, being raked through to the bottom of the oven and to keep burning, serving as fuel, is how the process worked.

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.

Tauber and Sander describe a two stage process.

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 are ignoring that two charges per hour, is half an hour per charge and every corpse has been in for half an hour, before more corpses are introduced, so their average is 30 minutes, not 5 to 7.

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 corpses were naked, they were not fully cremated and they were in the top oven for 30 minutes and then the bottom of the oven, for an unknown time.

The Design: Topf’s ovens don’t allow mid-cycle drops. Show me the blueprint or retract your “drop-through.”

Tauber and Sander both describe corpses dropping into the lower part of the oven.

The Text: Tauber doesn’t mention a two-stage process. Cite Pressac where he does, or admit it’s made up.

Tauber describes a process of introducing corpses into the top of the oven on a grill, waiting 30 minutes, then those corpses drop into the lower part of the oven, for the next load of corpses to be introduced, in a continuous operation.

Fuel: 1.1 million cremations need ~29,700 tons coke (Rudolf, p. 322); records show 2,188 tons (Russian archives). Where’s the rest?

They did not need that amount of coke, as the corpses in the lower part of the oven continued to burn, heating the oven.

HCN: Krema II walls show 0-640 µg/kg cyanide (Krakow 1994)—why not 1,000+ µg/kg for 400+ gassing cycles?

Because exposure was short and the walls were washed. Only a small part of the walls could be accessed for testing, since the Nazis blew the Leichenkeller up.
