It does undermine his credibility. But, credibility is not the same as truthfulness and his truthfulness is established by corroborating evidence.curioussoul wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2024 12:09 amYour argument was that he "mirrored" his captors, but that this somehow still doesn't undermine the credibility of his testimony.
What did he lie about? He said what he thought was the cremation limit, but he also talked about the need for constant repairs, which fits with Sonderkommando evidence of exceeding the limits.If so, why would he lie to his interrogators? Keep in mind, Pruefer confirmed the crematoria would have been unable to manage the number of alleged victims.Pruefer is corroborated by other evidence. That is how historians know he told the truth about his work to modify the Kremas for mass gassings and cremations.
