Holocaust or Hoax?

THE GAS VANS AND MASS SHOOTINGS
The gas vans
The so-called gas vans are supposed to have been used for the extermination of jews in Serbia and Russia, in addition to their use at Chelmno. Kogon/Langbein/Rueckerl, in their book Nationalsozialistische Massentoetungen durch Giftgas, discuss these vans at considerable length, for a total of 64 pages (1).
In reading the above books, the observant reader will note the following inconsistencies:
– no physical evidence at all is produced for the existence of these vehicles. There have never been any reports of the capture of such a vehicle, nor its presentation in evidence in any trial. Perhaps this is the reason why no illustration of any gas van ever appears in the literature.
– there are only two (alleged) documentary proofs of the existence of the gas vans;
– all the other “evidence” consists of “eyewitness testimony”.
Two leading German revisionists, Ingrid Weckert and Udo Walendy, have made a particular study of the two particular documents which are supposed to prove the existence of the gas vans (2). A detailed study by the French automobile builder Pierre Marais appeared in 1994 (3).
Let we consider the first of these two documents. It was introduced at Nuremberg under number PS-501. This is allegedly a letter supposedly written by a Lt. Dr. Becker to Walter Rauff, Leader of Section II D, Technical Matters, of the Reichs Security Main Office (RSHA). The document discusses technical deficiencies in the murder vans. We will quote a couple of sentences from the original text, paying careful attention to the original style of the German (4).
“I furthermore order that all men be kept as far away from the van as possible when people are being gassed, so as to avoid endangering their health by possibly outstreaming gas. Upon this occasion, I would like to draw your attention to the following: several Kommandos have had the vans unloaded by their own men after the gassing. I have drawn the attention of the commander of the Sonderkommando to the terrible damage to their emotions and health which this work may have later, if not immediately, on the men… Despite this, I will not deviate from this order, since it is feared that prisoners withdrawn for the work may take a suitable opportunity to flee. In order to protect them men from this danger, I request that corresponding orders be issued.”
[Translator’s note: the style of this is impossible to imitate in English.]
What German would write like that?
The letter is not signed. Instead of a signature, the name Becker is written by typewriter. To the left of the typewritten signature stands the abbreviation (Sgd), which means “signed” in English! Did SS men use English abbreviations when writing letters to each other?
The various hand-written umlauts over the letters (ä) and (ö) leave no doubt about it: the letter is a primitive forgery, probably from an American lie factories.
Hardly less pitiful is the second “documentary proof” for the gas vans, an alleged letter from correspondence between the RSHA and the automobile firm Gaubschat. The letter begins as follows (5):
“Berlin, 5 July 1942
Einzigste Ausfertigung “Only copy” Regarding: technical changes in the special cars used in operation and found in manufacturing themselves <sic>. Since December 1941 for example 97,000 were processed without the appearance of defects in the vehicles.” |
First, in correct German, it ought to read “einzige Ausfertigung” instead of “einzigste Ausfertigung”; and secondly, it ought to say “an den in Herstellung befindlichen” instead of “an den sich in der Herstellung Spezialwagen”; third, no normal person begins a letter with “for example”, and fourth: what the devil were they “processing”?
So much for the “documentary proofs”: What the exterminationists offer us as “proof” in terms of “eyewitness reports”, is even more idiotic. Adalbert Rueckerl outdoes himself in appealing to eyewitness reports in German trials on the “extermination” camp of Chelmno (6):
“These gas vans were large, grey-painted lorries of foreign manufacturer, with closed chassis construction, separated from the driver’s compartment, and approximately 2 m wide, 2 m high, and 4 m long… The Sonderkommando had three of these available, two of which were in constant use, and the third used temporarily.”
According to which historian you read, between 150,000 and 1.35 million jews were gassed in two — or, temporarily, three — gas vans, with a useful surface area, according to the above, of 16 m2. Rueckerl furthermore permits a witness named Johann I. to report as follows: (7):
“The gas vans came five or ten times a day, carrying bodies. In the smaller gas vans, there were always an estimated 50 bodies and in the larger, approximately 70 bodies.”
How could the “witness” have spoken of “smaller” and “larger” vans, when there were only two, or, temporarily, three of them, all the same size?
The manner in which the legend arose has been revealed by Ingrid Weckert. In revenge for the German revelation of the Soviet massacre of Polish officers in the Katyn forest, the Soviets accused German prisoners of war in 1943 of murdering Soviet citizens in gas vans. At the Kharkov and Krasnodar trials, several of the accused were identified by eyewitnesses, and executed. A fatal error was that, according to the witnesses, Diesel exhaust gas was relayed to the interior of the vans.
This is why Hans Fritzsche, Assistant to Josef Goebbels in the Propaganda Ministry, testified as follows at Nuremberg (8):
“That was the moment when the Russians, after they had captured Kharkov, started legal proceedings, in the course of which killing by gas was mentioned for the first time. I ran to Dr. Goebbels with these reports and asked him just what was going on here. He stated he would have the matter investigated and would discuss it with both Himmler and Hitler. …Dr. Goebbels explicitly informed me that the gas vans mentioned in the Russian legal proceedings were a pure figment of the imagination and that there was no actual proof to support it.”
With the death vans, Chelmno disappears from history, because the mass murders are supposed to have been carried out exclusively in these vehicles.
The Einsatzgruppen and the “Massacre of Babi Yar“
The four Einsatzgruppen were formed after the German preventive attack (9) against the USSR. Their principal task consisted of fighting the partisan bands operating behind the front. Total Einsatzgruppen personnel, including radio operators, drivers, translators, nurses, etc., amounted to a total of only approximately 3,000 persons (10). Acording to the exterminationists, these were responsible, not only for fighting the partisans, but for the pitiless extermination of all jews in the conquered Soviet territory. According to the Enzyklopaedie des Holocaust”, the Einsatzgruppen killed 1.25 million jews, and “hundreds of thousands of other Soviet nationalities” by the spring of 1943 alone (11), i.e., a total of least one a half million people. This means that every member of the Einsatzgruppen, including radio operators, drivers, translators, and nurses, would have had to kill an average of 500 jewish and non-jewish people each — nearly one a day, if we consider Sundays and holidays.
Miraculously, the nearly two million bodies (since the Einsatzgruppen are supposed to have continued murdering people even after the spring of 1943, after all) disappeared without a trace. Under normal circumstances, of course, this is not so. Disposing of the body is the nightmare of every murderer. After the murder of the family of the Russian Czar, the bodies were burnt and acid was thrown on them, but they could still be identified.
The Holocaust scholars report (12):
“The task of the Sonderkommando… was to open the mass graves, remove the bodies, burn them, and scatter the ashes.
According to the above, the murder victims were first buried, then dug up again later, and then burnt! But the former location of mass graves can be identified by aerial photographs quite easily, even years later, due to the disturbance in the terrain. Even if the Germans had succeeded in burning two million bodies and eliminating the bone fragments and teeth, the location of the mass graves could still be found. Where are they?
Thus, there is no physical evidence of the two million murders on the Eastern front. The documentary evidence consists of the “Event Reports” from the Einsatzgruppen in the USSR to the RSHA in Berlin. These reports are alleged to have been found by the Allies in the RSHA files after the war.
According to the exterminationists, the reason why no documents on the gas chambers have ever been found, is because the “Nazis” wanted to cover up their crimes; they therefore issued their murder orders only orally, or at least destroyed all the existing documents. But the incriminating Einsatzgruppen reports, revealing a monstrous murder programme in the East, were left lying around where they could be found! They could have burnt the few files on the subject in no time, easily! How very strange.
Babi Yar.
The massacre at Babi Yar is mentioned in the Einsatzgruppen reports (13). After the withdrawal of the German army in September 1941, there was a series of explosive attacks causing fires and hundreds of deaths. In reprisal, the Germans are alleged to have taken 33,000 jews to the edge of the city of Kiev, shot them, and thrown them into the ravine at the end of September. During the war, tens of thousands more jews were allegedly murdered there. Exactly two years later, as the Red Army approached Kiev, the bodies are supposed to have dug up and burnt without a trace, so that there is no physical evidence of this, either.
Several revisionist authors, principally Herbert Tiedemann and Udo Walendy (14), have investigated the evidence relating to Babi Yar in great detail. The eyewitness reports contradict each other on all possible points. In addition to shootings, there is much talk of stabbings with bayonets, live burials, killings with land mines, hand granades, drownings in the Dneiper, and other similar nonsense. The number of victims mentioned over the course of the years rose to 300,000.
At the time of the German entry into Kiev in 1941, there were no 33,000 jews in Kiev, must less 300,000 jews for the Germans to murder, in any manner at all, since by far the majority of the jews of Kiev had abandoned the city (15). Air photos of the ravine of Baba Yar taken during the war and evaluated by John Ball were the coup de grace to the Babi Yar legend (16). A comparison of photos taken between 1940 and 1944 shows that the mass graves — which were allegedly dug up, filled in, later dug up again, and then resealed — never existed, since otherwise the ravine would have shown massive topographical changes. These are in no way revealed by the air photos.
So the mass murder of Babi Yar turns out to be just another swindle. No other accusation of crime made against the Germans on the Eastern front has been made with such great propaganda effect; no other atrocity is supposed to have claimed so many victims. Since this invented massacre appears in the Einsatzgruppen reports, the reports were either totally falsified, or at least manipulated on a massive scale. Thus the only “documentary evidence” of the millions of murders on the Eastern front crashes to the ground.
