Mr Stubble and BA, I have written a very brief primer on eugenics in the 3R forum, and I intend to expand that to euthanasia when I get a bit more time.
In the meantime, Rudolf's write-up of euthanasia in his Encyclopedia is an excellent starting point. Revisionists can approach euthanasia openly and accept it as fact without any contradictions with regards "the holocaust", in fact in an ironic twist the existence of T4 strengthens the Revisionist position rather than weaken it.
Some quick points:
- Euthanasia has grown very controversial and unpopular in modernity, but this was not the case at the time. We can point to other developed nations also practicing euthanasia at this exact period, we can even quote such high profile euthanasia patients as King George of England in 1936 in an act of non-voluntary euthanasia.
The Nazi attitude towards euthanasia is evidence of opportunity. They had the opportunity due to attitudes at that time, and their technical ability, to kill those deemed not worthy of life and to use methods such as gas chambers.
- There doesn't exist direct proof that the killing method of T4 was CO, however this is at least feasible and Revisionists can accept this as plausible, if not very practical and probable. If the killing method indeed was CO, it would very likely have been performed by administering via CO tank, through a pipe to a restrained patient, and certainly not, as we will discuss in the next point, diesel exhaust.
Why is it feasible that Germans could convert rooms inside hospitals to gas people with compressed CO, but not for them to build gas chambers and use Soviet engines to generate CO, or convert a mortuary and use Zyklon B?
The diesel claims are hearsay, the eyewitnesses either said petrol, or they did not say the fuel type.

"A re-examination of the relevant testimonies with the Reinhard camps and gas vans reveals an interesting feature, one long ignored by MGK: witnesses who had closer experiences to the actual gassing engine share a large agreement that they were run by gasoline/petrol, while those witnesses with only an indirect hearsay knowledge of the engine were more likely to identify it as diesel."
- Regarding Nessie's point that Aktion T4 staff were transferred to the Eastern Front be regarded as suspicious (or proof of genocide) is ridiculous. These were trained medical personnel! Assigning medical staff to the Eastern front is absolutely consistent with the revisionist account. And if the claim is that they cross-trained in operating Soviet Tank / Submarine engines, rather than merely medical personnel, (or indeed, if despite all their medical training that this impractical sloppy method was the method they chose to design at AR) this would need to be demonstrated in some meaningful way.
It is proven that T4 staff went to work in the AR camps, with evidence from witnesses naming others and photos of the staff at TII and Sobibor. As for operating the AR camp engines, Erich Fuchs, was a mechanic before the war and there were Ukrainian SS camp staff who also worked on the engines. Quite where you get the Eastern Front from, only your imagination or ignorance can tell.
- Aktion T4 was indeed extended from its original target demographic of Reich citizens to camp inmates. However, if selected for euthanasia, camp inmates were then transported to euthanasia centres, mostly located in the interior of the Reich. This alone implies the camps had no means of safely gassing inmates (!)
That the concentration camps sent prisoners to be gassed, under 13f14, is further evidence to prove the Nazis could and would use gas to kill. That is evidence of motive and opportunity and circumstantial evidence for AR gassings, because of the staff links.
