The below report casts doubt on one of the most famous events ever promulgated by the media and historians after the second world war – the killing of six million jews in gas chambers. If true, this became the most successful propaganda campaign in history.

FACT ONE: AUSCHWITZ WAS A MAJOR MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

Early on in WW2, Germany, lacking control of the seas, found itself cut off from vital supplies of petroleum and rubber for the war effort. The solution was to capitalise on their recent chemical developments in catalytic hydrogenation by building a giant military-industrial manufacturing complex, where IG Farben produced synthetic fuel from coal, and buna rubber, plus a huge Krupp munitions factory, for which there were five blast furnaces and five collieries. It became known as Auschwitz. It used forced labor.

FACT TWO: THE GAS CHAMBERS WERE INSTALLED TO CONTROL DISEASE

A severe health problem soon surfaced. Some of the prisoners (forced labor) arrived contaminated with lice, and some of these bore typhus bacteria: typhus was at that time endemic in Eastern Europe. Hygiene conditions at the camp initially were poor, epidemics soon broke out, there was no cure and so many were dying from the disease. The solution was to strip their clothes when they arrived, shave their hair, send them to hot showers, and fumigate their clothing with the chemical ZyklonB which had been developed in Germany in the 1920s and which had been the standard defumigation (?) treatment for typhus, within which hydrogen cyanide (HCN) was the active ingredient.

FACT THREE: NO POISON GAS EVER ENTERED THE SUPPOSED EXTERMINATION CHAMBER

When hydrogen cyanide gas meets the walls of a building it is absorbed to some extent andreacts there to form Prussian Blue: Fe
[Fe(CN)] [ iron(III) hexacyanoferrate(II)], a water insoluble product which is very stable. Walls containing this compound exhibit a blue stain which remains for decades. The walls of the small (a mere ten cubic metres, too small for mass gassing) admitted fumigation chambers at Auschwitz display it (below), the walls of the alleged and exhibited “extermination” chamber do not. On a number of occasions, wall samples were secretly gathered and professionally analysed (by Fred Leuchter and Germar Rudolf). They confirmed that hydrogen cyanide residue was present in the fumigation chambers but absent in the “extermination” chamber.

FACT FOUR: SIX MILLION DID NOT DIE AT THE LABOUR CAMPS

Far from wanting those people to die, the Nazis needed them for the forced labor. But of course, many did die of disease. But not six million. That magic number which had a long history of Jews at alleged risk of this or that threat, was frequently reported in the Jewish controlled press such as the NYT. It first appeared there in 1867 and was repeated 34 further times up to 1939. In all some 106 citations have been identified (by Kollerstrom) before 1942. So the final alleged figure of six million for Jewish losses as a result of National Socialist persecution seems to have been firmly set before the war.

The last total data issued in 1993 (possibly raised since Gorbachev had released the Death Book records at the end of the Cold War) gave 60,056 at Auschwitz and a total of 291,081, plus other registries so a verifiable total of close on 400,000 in all, in all main camps. Not just Jews, but all minorities. Mainly Poles and Jews, roughly equal numbers it is said.¹ Not six million. Looking at the capacity of all the crematoria installed at Auschwitz, the maximum possible number of cremations throughout the war would have been about 132,000.

German demographer Walter N. Sanning in his book Dissolution of Eastern European Jewry, from The International History Review,
August, 1985, which contains 24 tables, 453 references and footnotes quoting 98 publications and authors (almost entirely Allied, Zionist, and other “sympathetic” sources), with 205 pages of text, arrived at a figure of slightly under 3 million Jews who in 1941, just before the Holocaust is said to have started, lived in areas of Europe that were or later came for a short time under the German sphere of influence. Sanning’s work has been criticised in some respects, but in a letter regarding the Jewish question dated June 24, 1940, Foreign Secretary Ribbentrop told Heydrich, who was tasked with dealing with the matter:

“The overall problem – there are already about 3.25 million Jews in the areas under German jurisdiction today – cannot be replaced by emigration; a territorial final solution therefore becomes necessary.“

By 1965, the Bonn government had already received 3,375,000 applications from Jew “survivors” for Holocaust reparations. By 2009, this figure had reached 5,360,710. So, if there were about 3 million Jews in the relevant area before the Holocaust, and about 5 million that survived it, how many perished between 1941 and 1945?

FACT FIVE: ZYKLONB CANNOT FUNCTION WITHOUT BEING HEATED

The story of the extermination chambers was recounted in April 1946 at Nuremburg, when the camp commandant Rudolf Höss confessed to killing two and a half million Jews using cyanide gas. ZyklonB, the eight page confession he signed stated, was poured through holes in the ceiling and after three to 15 minutes, one or two thousand were dead: half an hour later, the staff dragged the corpses out.

Let’s look at the Degesch fumigation equipment which fed ZyklonB into the delousing chamber as it can be seen today in Dachau, and see how the technology could have been applied to the “extermination” chamber. At the top, the can opener controlled from the outside. The Zyklon pellets slid through the pipe into a wire-mesh basket at the bottom, through which warm air at about 35C was conducted by the heater/fan unit (below the can opener). It would take about half an hour to release all the gas from the pellets. Fans circulated the gas around the chamber and after an hour or two, the delousing operation would be complete, the gas vented from the chamber, and the clothing, etc, removed.

Note, next, that the supposed “extermination” chamber contained none of those features: Heating to release the gas, fans to circulate it, a rack to remove granules and ventilation to enable the chamber to be cleared of gas and safely entered afterwards.

FACT SIX: NOBODY AT THE TIME REPORTED THE MASS KILLINGS

The war generals, Churchill, Eisenhower, writing their memoirs; The Red Cross, which actually visited Auschwitz, and published a 1,600 page account of its activities during the war. Not a single mention in any, not one. The British Intelligence who listened to communications at Auschwitz once the Enigma code was broken, transcripts of which were embarrassingly released in 1997 after the 50 year rule: the returns from Auschwitz, the largest of the camps with 20,000 prisoners, mentioned illness as the main cause of death, but included references to shootings and hangings. There were no references in the decrypts to gassings. And all 29 volumes of diaries of Goebbels, Nazi second in command, each of 500 pages finally published, do not allude to a lethal intent towards any ethnic group, but consistently point towards an export program as the ‘Final Solution.’

The story that the Final Solution was extermination gained substantial publicity from a document presented at Nuremburg, (Document 710-PS). Originally issued by Göring to Heydrich, this is what it said. Berlin, 31.7.1941:

“In addition to the task already assigned to them by decree of 24.1.39, the Jewish question in the form of emigration or evacuation in accordance with the most favorable solution possible, I hereby entrust you with all necessary preparations from an organizational, factual and material point of view to meeting for an overall solution of the Jewish question in the German sphere of influence in Europe.“

Finally, “That no one has ever found a written order for the physical extermination of the Jews originating with Adolf Hitler or any other leading National Socialist politician is agreed upon by historians of all orientations.” Jürgen Graf.
