Lagace has disposed of more than 10,000 bodies since 1976, and cremated more than 1000 since 1984. He has handled victims of fire, accident, and disease, and has seen every stage of bodily composition. He was accorded EXPERT status at the Zundel trial. Lagace next explained some calculations he had made after studying the plans for the 46 retortsa at Birkenau.(Auschwitz II) Christie [defence counsel for Zundel] asked him how these compared to the plans for his own crematorium. Well, said Lagace, When I first looked at these [Birkenau plans], I was amazed." The specifications were almost identical to his own retort, including the unusually high 45-foot stack. Based on the afterburner design, he added, it is obvious they were concerned with environmental effects. There would be no smoke and no odor." Lagace estimated that the 46 retorts at Birkenau could handle about 184 bodies daily, or four apiece. But, asked Christie, what about Raul Hilberg's estimate of 4,400 cremations per day at Birkenau? Well," said Lagace, that's preposterous, in my eyes. It's beyond the realm of reality." Christie asked if operating 24 hours a day would raise the output. Just the opposite, insisted Lagace, it would shorten the lifespan of the refractory" and create costly delays. Christie read to Lagace from Hilberg's account of a period in 1944 when about 10,000 Jews a day were allegedly being gassed at Birkenau, and asked again if the 46 retorts could have cremated 4,400 of the victims daily. Lagace: It would be ludicrous to say something like that.

Uris et al. They called it a a striking confirmation of the "inhuman medical experiments carried out upon Jewish inmates of Auschwitz," and noted that the plaintiff Dering alleged he was libelled in the book Exodus by Leon Uris, and won a halfpenny in damages from the jury. (Professor Robert) Faurisson recalled that in the 1960s he read the book Auschwitz in England, by two British lawyers, which dealt with the trial. Wladislaw Dering was a Polish surgeon who worked at Auschwitz and was accused by Uris of having operated without anesthesia on 17,000 female internees. Suzman and Diamond declined to give that number, however, because, as Faurisson explained, during the course of the trial it melted first to "a big number," then to "130 people, men and women", then to "perhaps five people," and finally to "perhaps two or three cases [which] were not quite clear." The meltdown was greatly facilitated by Dering's ability to obtain >from the Auschwitz Museum the register of surgical operations, said Faurisson, who observed that the Germans used to put everything in writing....We must realize that in Auschwitz when there was one natural death, we had 21 signatures, and when it was a [suicide or other unnatural death], more than 30 signatures were affixed to a document about the death. Where do you get those numbers? asked Christie. >From the International Committee of Auschwitz, as published in The Anthology of Auschwitz, replied Faurisson. The Dering trial is very important, he continued. Day after day, they eliminated names [of alleged victims]. On reaching five, "they discovered that [even] those operations had not been done without anesthesia, but with a kind of anesthesia that was [new] at that time. We call that rachis anesthesia which is in the cerebral spine. It is a partial anesthesia." And where does this information come from? asked Christie [defence counsel for Zundel]. >From Auschwitz in England, said Faurisson. The jury awarded Dering one halfpenny, but the judge ordered him to pay for the trial nevertheless. Dering said, "My honour is saved, but financially I am ruined." Soon after, he died of cancer. Leon Uris's dirty work was not yet complete. He then wrote a play about the trial called Queen's Bench 7, and invented a character of a son of Dering who attended the trial and became ashamed of his father's past. He refrained from using the name of Dering," however. In summary, said Faurisson, it's quite clear that [at the beginning] everybody was ready to believe that in Auschwitz it as possible to do such a thing to 17,000 people." Is what you have told us indicated anywhere in Suzman and Diamond? asked Christie. No, said Faurisson. "They are veiling the fact that the accusation [of Uris] was absolutely terrible." Without the Auschwitz surgical register, he added, most of that accusation could have stuck forever.

"None whatsoever," said [David] Irving. And the British were reading the code signals of the SS. What about Himmler, Heydrich, Frank, and other top Nazis? asked Christie. "There are no explicit orders," said Irving, "and this is where the academic historians start asking us to read between the lines and find fancy translations for certain words and I wouldn't go along with those methods. I want in a crime as big as this to find explicit evidence. What one does find, said Irving, is documents pointing in the other direction. For example, in the spring of 1942, Hans Lammers, who was something like the German Prime Minister telephoned the Secretary of State of the German Ministry of Justice, who made a note of their conversation. Lammers said that Hitler had repeatedly said that he wanted the solution of the Jewish problem postponed until after the war. This document, said Irving, "was concealed at Nuremberg", and resurfaced only recently. It "takes some explaining, and this is the kind of document which embarrasses the [academic] historians."

The Hungarian Jews were being gassed at the daily rate of 10,000 and over; the Lodz Jews were killed in a few batches, 20,000 a day. The Auschwitz SS man in charge of the body disposal, Oberscharfuhrer Moll, was working full steam. He employed four Jewish Sonderkommandoes in four shifts, a total force of between 1500 and 2000 men. Eight pits were dug, each about four by sixty yards in size. On the bottom of the pits the human fat was collected and poured back into the the fire with buckets to hasten the cremations. Survivors reports that children were sometimes tossed alive into the inferno. The rotten remains were cleaned up once in a while with flame throwers. Although the corpses burned slowly during rain or misty weather, the pits were found to be the cheapest and most efficent method of body disposal. In August 1944, when over 20,000 corpses had to be burned on some days, the open pits broke the bottleneck.

The supplies (of Zyclon B) were not used all at once simply because the crematory fires failed to keep pace. Huge burning trenches had to be dug in the open by the Jewish Sonderkommando. But even the new gas chambers were not big enough. Mass shootings took place at the burning pits and at one of the original small gas chambers in the Birkenwald. By such supplementary means, a death output was maintained 6,000 a day, but it proved difficult to conceal the cremations in the open air, the flames and smoke from which were seen.

Those who meet him are shocked by his Far Side appearance. His publicity methods have annoyed many revisionists. This excess baggage having been set out and disposed of, ACTION REPORT feels that the one year prison term imposed on Felderer in oh-so-liberal Sweden is to be regarded as proof; of the harm that he has inflicted, both with his biting satire ; and with his expert photography on the legends of the Holocaust. Probably the sentence was enforced as a belated tribute for having testified at the Ernst Zundel trial: since the enemy were thwarted at the last moment of their real prey. Zundel was acquitted of all charges on his final appeal to the Canadian supreme court, they have spent the years since 1988 hounding down all those who contributed to that verdict, from Douglas Christie and his staff, and all the defence witnesses. In England this harassment of witnesses would be seen as contempt of court. In North America the laws evidently run differently. BUT BACK TO FELDERER FIRST, WHAT Was his real offence? Certainly not the petty charge of printing satirical and often tasteless Holocaust caricatures, and mailing them to Jewish addresses, for which he was jailed by the Swedish courts (which normally turn the blindest of eyes on pornography). We frown on this kind of tomfoolery; but we are not as sensitive as some, it seems, because we too receive in the mails letters, drawings, and literature of the most obscene and threatening kind, yet we do not seek to incarcerate our critics. Felderers real offence was one or which he cannot be forgiven: From 1971 onwards he systematically visited the holy Auschwitz site and photographed it from every angle. He made: hundreds of colour transparencies of professional quality for example, of the "execution wall" (which mysteriously does not show up on the wartime aerial photos or even in the wartime photos printed in the museum's own guidebook: no mystery at all, really, as this wall was erected after the war by the Poles, like their reconstructed gas chamber, for the tourists to shudder at. Felderer took his photographs before Auschwitz was denuded of all evidence of use to the revisionists (like light switches, wiring, and central heating apparatus, and the hospital equipment which testifies to the Nazis' welfare concerns for the slave labourers, even though they were Jews); indeed in the last three years the Auschwitz authorities, eagerly turning the site into a lucrative Theme Park to rival Euro-Disney , have levelled to the ground and removed every trace of the site's wartime Transit Camp area, which provided partial answer to the oft-posed question: Why did the trains arrive at Auschwitz full, and leave empty? - As Michael A Hoffmann II wrote in Revisionist Researcher, commenting on Felderer's imprisonment: long after the place [Auschwitz] has been altered out of recognition as a defence against revisionist criticism, his [Felderers] thousands of expert photographs will stand as the best evidence of what a third-rate Hollywood set that place was throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s. In March there was good news for Felderer. He was kicked out of prison; after serving only part of his sentence. It was found that he was using the right of Swedish prison inmates to free postage to inundate Europe and North America with revisionist publications, printed stickers and further questionable cartoons.

By Fred Redman TODAY I am able to tell you the full story, revealed in Washington, of the American war trials scandal. It is an ugly story of barbarous tortures inflicted in the name of Allied justice. It is time the British people knew all the facts. Little has appeared in our press until today. The charge is that American soldiers, building evidence against Germans accused of war crimes, have behaved with the same sadistic cruelty as the beasts who terrorised Europe when it was under Nazi domination. The truth has come out through the persistence of an American lawyer and the frank horror of an American Judge who refuses to be muzzled. Judge Edward Van Roden member of a US Army Commission of Inquiry tells how burning matches were forced under the fingernails of a prisoner by American investigators to extort a confession. For months, he says, men were kept in solitary confinement on near-starvation rations. And they were beaten up and savagely kicked until strong men were redeuced to broken wrecks ready to mumble any admission demanded by their prosecutors. The war department have shown the Judges personal report only to General Lucius Clay, their military commander in Germany. Washington suspects the reason was that it was too shocking for public disclosure. ....Commission sent to Germany to investigate was was even more candid. "All but two of the Germans in the 139 cases we investigated, had been kicked in the testicles beyond repair." he charged. "this was standard operating procedure with our American investigators. "They would put a black hood over the accused's head and then punch him in the face with brass knuckles." US Army prosecution teams had he said had posed as priests to hear confessions and give absolution. At mock trials men who refused to confess were confronted by a crucifix and burning candles. Those sham courts, attended by men in US Army uniform, passed sham death sentences. Then the accused were told: "Sign this confession and we get you acquitted." [The Sunday Pictorial Jan 23rd 1949] "The change [of public opinion] followed the notorious case of the American Dachau Tribunal. This tribunal which was abolished in December 1947, had tried 1,500 Germans and condemned 420 of them to death. In autumn of that year Dachau justice became the subject of a commission of investigation under Judge Gordon Simpson of the Texas Supreme Court. The commission recommended that 29 men who were still under sentence ot death should be reprieved, and it declared that statements had been obtained both from defendents and witnesses by highly questionable means." [The final solution [1968] by G. Reitlinger. page 548] CONSIDER :- 1) The truth only came out "through the persistence of an American lawyer and the frank horror of an American Judge who refuses to be muzzled. " 2) "All but two of the Germans in the 139 cases we investigated, had been kicked in the testicles beyond repair." 3) "this was standard operating procedure with our American investigators." The 'Americans' tortured defendents. It is known that the 'British' tortured Kramer and Hoess. QUESTION 1: Shouldn't it call into question the validity of confessions given in previous trials? [For example; the "Doctors" Trial, where Germans admitted to Horrific medical experiments and gassing the insane.] QUESTION 2: If the 'Americans' tortured defendents on such a scale, what did the COMMUNISTS do? -- Jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the mountains of truth you never climb in vain.

On 9 May 1945 I was taken to the Moosburg internment camp with about 80 other prisoners. On 7 September 1945 I had my second interrogation, in Moosburg, at which they asked me the same questions they asked in the Tittling camp. There too, I received blows from a whip. This consisted of a wooden handle about 30 cm long to which leather straps had been fastened. Since I had to answer the questions in the negative, they told me that there were other ways and means to force me to tell the truth. Then the interrogator left the room for a few minutes, and returned with a second interrogator. Since I had to reply to this man's questions in the negative also, because I did not know of any killing, he struck me with his fists and threatened to "hang" and "shoot" me. After I stuck to my guns, I was taken back to my quarters. On 10 February 1946 I was transferred to the Dachau internment camp. 6. There I was interrogated two times At the interrogation on 21 June 1946 they read statements to me that said that I had shot eight prisoners in the Mauthausen concentration camp. I was to sign this, but I vigorously refused because I never shot a prisoner After repeated requests to sign, I was struck with fists and kicked with feet. They put a paper in front of me to sign in which it said that l had never been beaten by American interrogators and soldiers. I refused, and only after repeated blows, with the threat that I would never leave the room alive until I had signed, and that they would know how to break me down my obstinacy, did I put my name to it. I had never had anything to do with the court in my life and I was afraid that they would make my life even more difficult. 7. In January 1947 the so-called "line-ups" commenced in Dachau Special Camp. I was confronted with prisoners three times, yet not one accused me of the least thing. The man in charge of the line-up, Mr. ENTRESS, told the prisoners that I was said to have shot many and beaten them to death, where at only a burst of laugher arose. At that time I was 22 years old. When I was 19.5 I came to Mauthausen as dog-leader. A former prominent prisoner, Dr. SANNER, asserted he did not know me, but if a dog-leader had beaten prisoners to death or shot them that would certainly have become known in the camp. Many other former long-term prisoners joined in this exonerating testimony. 8. At rnid-July 1947 I and my seven co-accused were presented for the first time to our official defense lawyer, Major Willilm A.OATES. To his question whether I knew what I was accused of, and by whom, I could only reply that I was not conscious of any guilt and also had never counted on being brought to trial, since I had never mistreated or killed anyone. Major OATES told me that he too, knew nothing, that he could not get a glimpse of the incrirninating papers of the prosecution, and therefore he would have to go by my statements, the general charge sheet, and the testimony of the prosecution witnesses at the trial. Since only the prosecution had access to the records, my lawyer did not see them, and so naturally it was very difficult for him to prepare a defense. Major OATES promised to do everything he could. Also I gave him the names of lhe witnesses who were important for me, and who themselves were interned in Dachau. What happened next? Well, it gets much much worse......

His statement had been prepared in German had been submitted to the Military Governor of the US Zone of Occupation in English translation. Since no more than a handful of Americans have seen this or any other German "war criminal's" side of the story, I reproduce it in its entirety, as follows: I, Gustav PETRAT, born 12 November 1924 in Wirballen/Litauen [Lithuania], presently in Landsberg/Lech, make the following sworn statement after I have been informed that this statement is to be submitted to the Military Governor of the US Zone and that an false statement may be severely punished. l. In May 1944, on account of my wound, I was transferred to the guard personnel of the Mauthausen concentration camp and served there as dog leader with the 16th Guard Company. My rank was Corporal (Rottenfuehrer) in the Armed (Waffen) SS. 2. On 10 May 1945, I was taken prisoner by American soldiers in Reid near Mauthausen and taken to the Tittling camp. When I got there I was mistreated with whips, fists and feet, as was the general custom at that time for newly arrived prisoners. 3. Like many others I was quartered in a potato patch in the open air, so that we all were exposed to the weather. The first three days we received nothing to eat, and from the fourth day on they gave us one loaf of bread for every 20 prisoners and 1 liter of soup for every two men. Under these conditions I lived for some weeks until I was totally undernourished, so that it was hardly possible for me to move from the spot. 4. On 26 May 1945 I had my first interrogation there, which was one of the most memorable of my entire captivity. Even before they asked me the first Question, they struck me so that I collapsed. After I had managed to stagger upright again in spite of my weak condition and aided by the necessary kicks >from the interrogator, the real interrogation began. They asked me questions that I could not have answered if I had the best will in the world to do so. I was to state where the leader of the Mauthausen Concentration Camp was. It was impossible for me to give the information, since I really didn't know, and, as a little corporal I couldn't know. My reply loosed a hail of blows. The second question concerned myself. They asked me how many prisoners I had shot and beaten, to which I replied truthfully and with a clean conscience, "Not one." Then the interrogator drew a pistol and threatened to kill me if I did not tell the truth, immediately. He meant, however, that I should be hanged. I told him again that I only spoke the truth and he could kill me if he wanted to, that at least I would be freed from the whole mess. Then more blows, and with a push in the small of the back I fled [sic].

On 15th July 1947 I recieved a general charge sheet and was transferred with my co-accused to the Bunker I, camp Dachau. It was impossible for me to procure any exonerating material there. One was cut off from the outside world. Letters to relatives or acquaintances in which something was said about witnesses or the approaching trial were so cut up that the receiver received only scraps from which he could glean nothing. For that reason it was made impossible for me to procure any defense material. Requests for special letters to witnesses or prior reports to the defense lawyer were fruitless. Already in little things they were making the procuring of exonerating material impossible. Also the time before the beginning of the trial was far too short to obtain any material. 10. On 6 August 1947 the trial began, and lasted until 21 August. 11. The prosecution witnesses had every support of the prosecuting authorities. When they were shown to be lying, up jumped the prosecutor, Mr. Lindberg, and accused the defense lawyer of intimidating the witnesses and trying to make out that they were liars. 12. In reality, the opposite was the truth. Defense witnesses were intimidated by the braying of the prosecutor or were branded as false. It happened that defense witnesses were threatened and beaten by foreign former prisoners so that the former had no more interest in appearing for the defense. They were afraid that they too would be accused of something, which the foreign prisoners were quite capable of, as they hated everything German and were out for revenge.

In the courtroom were Polish, Jugoslav and Jewish prisoners as spectators, who served as an information bureau, that is , during the court recesses they told their comrades, who were waiting for their interrogation everything that had been discussed during the course of the trial. On the basis of this information the latter were then able to reinforce the accusations and bring to naught the exoneration, which was scanty enough anyway. For this reason it was also possible to always bring out the same points in the accusations. 14. The questionaires we had filled out were handed to the persecution witnesses by the prosecutor or by his interpreter. In this way each exact date could be looked up in order to incriminate the accused without having to fear a false statement was being made. In spite of this, it happened that they contradicted themselves in cross-examination. However, because the witnesses were under the protection of the American court, they had nothing to fear from perjury, which they committed repeatedly. 15. We, as accused, had no right to give our opinion. At the beginning of the trial the defense lawyer told us we had to keep quite still and the questions we wanted to have put to the witnesses we were to write on paper and give to his interpreter, Mr. BARR. I did not understand most of the trial, since I am a Lithuanian and only know a little German. I had to find out during the court recesses, from my comrades, of what I was accused. 17.

Then she heard the sound of familar voices. ELLI and HENK were returning. Saying little to one another, the THREE left the office and moved down the hallway and on up the stairs to the hiding place. Moving from room to room they saw overturned furniture, books scattered, and drawers ransacked. [Page 23. A place to Hide. True Stories of Holocaust Rescues. Jayne Pettit.

It was in chaos. the pages of Annes diary lay scattered on the floor and were gathered up along with other papers and books and taken downstairs.

Whatever later historians would claim, Hitler himself never visited any concentration camp, let alone Auschwitz. Historians would also claim that Himmler witnessed the "liquidation" of a trainload of Jews on this occasion. This is apocryphal, devoid of any documentary substance. Under British postwar interrogation Bracht's thirty-four-year-old deputy, Albert Hoffmann, would recall this day and describe how he accompanied Himmler around Auschwitz: conditions were, he volunteered, considerably worse than those he had seen at Dachau in 1938. "Maltreatment did occur, and [he] has actually seen the [crematory] ovens where bodies were being burned." But Hoffmann's interrogation report significantly added, "He totally disbelieves the accounts of atrocities as published in the press." (By late 1945 the world's newspapers were full of unsubstantiated, lurid rumors about "factories of death" complete with lethal "gas chambers.") On July 19, 1942, the day after Himmler's tour of Auschwitz, he issued a written order to Kruger: "I decree that the transfer of the entire Jewish population of the Generalgouvernement is to be carried out and completed by December 31, 1942."

He was arrested in December, 1943, was deported to Buchenwald on January 17, 1944 and was transferred to Dora the following March 13th .

The unfortunates were made to dig narrow ditches, in which their comrades were forced to bury them up to the neck. They were left for a cetain lenght of time. After that an SS. with a long handled axe cut off their heads. But the sadism of some of the SS led them to discover an even more cruel death. They ordered other prisoners to pour barrow loads of sand over their poor heads. I am still haunted by the looks etc....." This, too, was never done at Dora.

This was the claim which British writer David Irving made in Munich in April 1990: a remark for which the German government fined him DM30,000 ($22,000) and banned him from Germany in 1993. The Court of Human Rights in Strasboug has now agreed to hear the appeal his lawyers against Germany. The largely Jewish-owned French magazine L'Express, which is comparable with the US magazine Time and with Germany's Der Spiegel, slated in a well-researched article (titled: "Auschswitz: The Memoir of Evil ) appearing under the by-line of anti-revisionist historian Eric Conan that the authorities at Auschwitz have now conceded the fraud - but they also admit that for them there is now no going back. The admission represents a major vindication for Professor Robert Faurisson, who was the first public figure to point to the fraud, back in 1976. Unable to accept the truth, his opponents have subjected him to a reign of terror since then. In one incident a gang of thugs, who were immediately denounced by the rest of the Jewish community, poured acid into Faurisson's eyes, and broke his upper and Iower jaws almost beyond repair. ....Now the Auschwitz gas chamber legend is finally crumbling too. Just as the leading revisionists promised it would. In his article Eric Conan states that there been many blatant falsifications in the Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camp sites. In particular he reveals that at the time that the Auschwitz State was created for propaganda purposes in 1948, they "reconstructed" Crematorium I in its supposed original state; In fact "everything in it is false." [Tout y est faux] - the dimensions of the "gas chamber", the locations of the doors, the roof openings for pouring in Zyklon B poison, the "ovens" ("rebuilt according to the recollections of some survivors"), and the height of the chimmey. [This confirms recent revisionist investigators who claimed that there was no link between the supposed chimmey and the crematorium: it is a dummy.] Professor [Robert] Faurisson was the first to reveal the deception in 1976, when he cornered museum official Jan Machalek into making an admission that the "gas chamber" was a "reconstruction". Faurisson reported this in the French National newspaper Le Monde on December 29, 1978 and Holocaust expert Raul Hilberg admitted under oath at the 1985 Zundel trial in Toronto that this was true. Faurisson's 1976 investigation of the original plans in the museum archives at Auschwitz revealed that until 1942, the "gas chamber"was nothing more than an almost totally enclosed room for storing cadavers awaiting incineration in the endlessly slow crematorium one floor above. ....Astonishingly, there are no plans to alter the way that the fake gas chamber is displayed to tourists, who are still to be led to believe they are seeing the right thing.

Professor Rassinier was deported to Buchenwald Concentration Camp, during the Second World War. Unlike many other inmates, he told the truth about his experiences. At Nuremberg, the Prosecution and the Judges got sensational results by this method. Notice this curious document P.S. 3319 (N.M.T. XXXII, pp. 159-92) which Mr. Raul Hilberg cites and comments upon (1961 pp. 502-709). In question is the organization, by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Third Reich, of an anti-Jewish congress at Krummhubel on April 3 and 4, 1944, with all the representatives at foreign posts participating. In 27 pages a certain Ludwig Kohlhammer, Landesgnsppenleiter, reports very exactly on the number of participants - 31 persons - and their names and what each one said. Now, this congress never took place. This is how the matter was presented to the Nuremberg Tribunal: March 27, 1946, [Adolf ] von Steengracht (Secretary of State, Foreign Affairs, Third Reich) is interrogated by Colonel Philimore deputy prosecutor-general for the English, who asks him: "I would now like to bring up the question of the Jews. You told us yesterday that you yourself and Mr. Ribbentrop had prevented the anti-Jewish Congress of 1944 from taking place. Is that true? "Yes," answered von Steengracht. (T.X., p. 137.) And this is what he stated the day before in reply to a question put by Dr. Horn, von Ribbentrop's counsel: "Our liaison with Hitler informed us that the latter, informed by Bormann, had ordered Rosenberg's office to organize an anti-Semitic congress. Ribbentrop did not want to believe it, but after having had a conversation with the liaison agent, he had to believe it. Since this decision made it irnpossible for us to prevent the congress through official channels, we tried to prevent it with a policy of hesitation, delay and obstruction And, although the order had been issued in the spring of 1944, and the war was still not over in April 1945, the congress never took place." (T.X., p. 125.) On April 2, 1946, von Ribbentrop is interrogated by Mr. Edgar Faure, who at the time was deputy prosecutor-general for France, and who later was to become President of Council in France: - Mr. Edgar Faure (to Ribbentrop): "During the examination of your witness Steengracht, the English prosecutor brought forth document P.S. 3319, which has the English No. G.B. 287. I would like to refer to this document just for one question: In this document appear the minutes of a congress, of a gathering at which were present all the reporters on Jewish matters in the various diplomatic missions in Europe. This congress was held at Krummhubel on April 3 and 4, 1944. It had been organized by Schleier. That was read the other day. You knew about this congress, I suppose?" von Ribbentrop: "No, I am hearing about it for the first time. What was that congress? I have not even heard that such a congress took place. What sort of a congress was it?" Mr. Faure: The document has been filed with the Tribunal and I simply want to ask you one question. You have testified that you did not know about this gathering at which were pre-sent thirty one persons, almost all of them diplomatic personnel. I point out to you that during this reunion Counsellor of Embassy von Thadden made a declaration which was reported in the following terms: 'The orator is showing why the Zionist solution of Palestine and other similar solutions should be rejected, and why there are grounds for the deportation of the Jews to the eastern territories.' I suggest that this declaration made by a Counsellor of Embassy before thirty one persons in your department represented your own thesis on the subject." von Ribbentrop: "Yes, but I do not know at all what you are trying to say. Will you please put the document at my disposal so that I may answer?" Mr Faure. "I have no intention of showing you this document .... (T.X., p. 420)." THAT WAS THE PROOF OF FORGERY. It was also a typical breach Of the Rule of Procedure No. 2 of the Tribunal itself which provided that "all the documents appended to the Indictment shall be put at the disposition of the defendants not less than 30 days before the trials" (T.I., p. 21). This matter was never spoken of again. If one looks in the Index of Names (T., 24) for information on landesgruppenleiter Ludwig Kohlhammer, he is not listed. But, Document P.S. 3319 was admitted into evidence.

So let's use Karen's figures to work out the crematory rates for Birkenau, after all, he knows better than Ivan Lagace, who was granted Expert status on Cremation at the Zundel trial, ["Lagace estimated that the 46 retorts at Birkenau could handle about 184 bodies daily, or four apiece." (Holocaust on Trial Page 239)] There was 46 retorts at Auschwitz II (Birkenau). At the very best possible rate [on 1951 figures], flat out with no problems, maintenance, breaks, etc at 30 minutes per corpse the 46 retorts at Birkenau would have cremated:- 46 * 24 * 2 = 2208 corpses a day. A bit short of the SS estimate of 4,756 a day. [letter from SS-Sturmbannfuehrer Jahrling to SS-General Kammler, June 25 1943, see "Auschwitz:Technique and operation of the gas chambers" - J.C Pressac, the Beate Klarsfeld Foundation, NY, 1989, p. 247] [Note; the British Historian David Irving, an EXPERT Witness at the Zundel Trial regards this document as 'highly dubious'.] And a little short of the Polish Commission of Inquiry's estimate of 12,000 a day. [The Final Solution [1968]; Reitlinger page 159] And even Hoess the commandant of Auschwitz, who seems to have a lot of problems with numbers -------- 16,000 a day. [The Final Solution [1968]; Reitlinger page 159] And just a little bit short of inmate Olga lengel's estimate of 17,280 a day. ("Five chimmeys" P68 cited in; Destruction of the European Jews 1961 Hilberg page 629) And just a little bit short of Dr Nysizli's estimate of 20,000 a day. [The Final Solution [1968]; Reitlinger page 159] At the next possible rate [on 1951 figures], flat out with no breaks, etc at 45 minutes the 46 retorts at Birkenau would have cremated:- 46 * 32 = 1472 corpses per day. A bit short of the SS "letter" ------------------ 4,756 a day. And a little short of the Polish Commission's estimate of 12,000 a day. Hoess the commandant of Auschwitz, -------- 16,000 a day. Inmate Olga lengel's estimate --------------------------- 17,280 a day. Dr Nysizli's estimate ----------------------------------- 20,000 a day. However, these were 1951 figures, for the 1940s, let's make it a hour per corpse:- 46 * 24 = 1104 a day. A bit short of the SS "letter" ------------------ 4,756 a day. And a little short of the Polish Commission's estimate of 12,000 a day. Hoess the commandant of Auschwitz, he's wrong again------ 16,000 a day. Inmate Olga lengel's estimate --------------------------- 17,280 a day. Dr Nysizli's estimate ----------------------------------- 20,000 a day. However, let's remember that the Nazis [or the Jewish Sonderkommando who actually operated the retorts, who worked hard and were highly trained] stuck 3 corpses in at a time, in every retort, right through those 24 hours, despite the fact the retorts were designed for single corpse cremation. [after all they could be children etc] Now let us IGNORE the idea that this might take longer, and say it will take the SAME time as for 1 corpse:- 1) Best possible rate [1951] 46 * 48 = 6624. [10 minutes per corpse] 2) Next best rate [1951] 46 * 32 = 4416. [15 minutes per corpse] 3) 1940's rate 46 * 24 = 3312. [20 minutes per corpse] Well the SS "letter" is in range ------------------ 4,756 a day. But a little short of the Polish Commission's estimate of 12,000 a day. Hoess the commandant of Auschwitz, he's wrong again------ 16,000 a day. Inmate Olga lengel's estimate --------------------------- 17,280 a day. Dr Nysizli's estimate ----------------------------------- 20,000 a day. As anybody can see, even if an absolute fantasy level is given to the crematory rates, they remain beyond belief. The only conclusion that one can draw from these "estimates" is that they are completely bogus, made without reference to reality, and were made for different motives then a objective view of crematory rates. There is one motive that fits all these estimates: Propaganda. -- Jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the mountains of truth you never climb in vain.

In fact I learned the truth from the horse's mouth, being one of the first writers to interview Speer after his release from Spandau prison in 1966. the former Reichminister spent an afternoon reading out loud to me from his draft memoirs. The book subsequently published was very different, having been written, he explained, by my own in-house editor at the Ullstein publishing house (Annette Engel geb. Etienne), by their chief editor Wolf-Jobst Siedler, and by historian Joachim Fest, editor of the prestigious Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Miss Etienne confirmed this. When I challenged Speer in private at a Frankfurt publishing dinner in October 1979 to publish his original memoirs, he replied rather wistfully that he wished he could: "But it would be impossible. That manuscript was quite out of keeping with the modern nuances. Even the captions to the chapters would have caused difficulties. A courageous Berlin author, Mathias Schmidt, later published a book {Albert Speer the End of a Myth 1984} exposing the Speer legend and the "memoirs"; but it is the latter volume which the lazy gentlemen of my profession have in their libraries, not Schmidt's, thus proving the opening words of this introduction true. lt was symptomatic of Speer's truthfulness to history that while he was in Spandau he paid for the entire wartime diaries of his office (Dienststelle) to be retyped omitting the more unfortunate passages, and donated these faked documents to the Bundesarchiv in Koblenz. My comparison of the 1943 volume, housed in the original in British Cabinet Office archives, with the Bundesarchiv copy made this plain, and Matthias Schmidt also reveals the forgery."

Have you now found your evidence for this? Yes, said Mark Weber [who had been given EXPERT status at the 'trial'.] Pohl, the German official in charge of the concentration camps, wrote a statement dated June 1, 1948 in which he described his repeated brutal beatings by British soldiers two years, earlier. Pohl held the rank of general, so his treatment was "completely illegal" according to international agreements. During 60 to 80 interogation sessions, Pohl was also emotionally tortured, lyingly accused of killing 30 million people to break down his resistance. Weber quoted Pohl: "Because I am not emotionally thick-skinned, these diabolical intimidations were not without effect, and the interogators achieved what they wanted:not the truth but rather statements that served their needs". Pohl had no access to an attorney or other help during this period, and was never formally charged with anything. At his subsequent trial, the American prosecutor used false affidavits which Pohl was forced to sign. In his statement, said Weber, Pohl declared that the number of those who died of all causes in all German concentration and labour camps between 1933 and 1945 was 200,000 to 250,000. Epidemics and general collapse near the end of the war accounted for the vast majority of these deaths.

Furthermore, he assured the housewifes that the party leaders were all blacklisted and that they would one day be forced to reconstruct the jewish synagogues. Louis Birk was executed.

By Fred Redman TODAY I am able to tell you the full story, revealed in Washington, of the American war trials scandal. It is an ugly story of barbarous tortures inflicted in the name of Allied justice. It is time the British people knew all the facts. Little has appeared in our press until today. The charge is that American soldiers, building evidence against Germans accused of war crimes, have behaved with the same sadistic cruelty as the beasts who terrorised Europe when it was under Nazi domination. The truth has come out through the persistence of an American lawyer and the frank horror of an American Judge who refuses to be muzzled. Judge Edward Van Roden member of a US Army Commission of Inquiry tells how burning matches were forced under the fingernails of a prisoner by American investigators to extort a confession. For months, he says, men were kept in solitary confinement on near-starvation rations. And they were beaten up and savagely kicked until strong men were redeuced to broken wrecks ready to mumble any admission demanded by their prosecutors. The war department have shown the Judges personal report only to General Lucius Clay, their military commander in Germany. Washington suspects the reason was that it was too shocking for public disclosure. ....Commission sent to Germany to investigate was was even more candid. "All but two of the Germans in the 139 cases we investigated, had been kicked in the testicles beyond repair." he charged. "this was standard operating procedure with our American investigators. "They would put a black hood over the accused's head and then punch him in the face with brass knuckles." US Army prosecution teams had he said had posed as priests to hear confessions and give absolution. At mock trials men who refused to confess were confronted by a crucifix and burning candles. Those sham courts, attended by men in US Army uniform, passed sham death sentences. Then the accused were told: "Sign this confession and we get you acquitted." [The Sunday Pictorial Jan 23rd 1949] "The change [of public opinion] followed the notorious case of the American Dachau Tribunal. This tribunal which was abolished in December 1947, had tried 1,500 Germans and condemned 420 of them to death. In autumn of that year Dachau justice became the subject of a commission of investigation under Judge Gordon Simpson of the Texas Supreme Court. The commission recommended that 29 men who were still under sentence ot death should be reprieved, and it declared that statements had been obtained both from defendents and witnesses by highly questionable means." [The final solution [1968] by G. Reitlinger. page 548] CONSIDER :- 1) The truth only came out "through the persistence of an American lawyer and the frank horror of an American Judge who refuses to be muzzled. " 2) The van Roden report was never issued to the public, [afaik the first person to get it was David Irving] 2) "All but two of the Germans in the 139 cases we investigated, had been kicked in the testicles beyond repair." 3) "this was standard operating procedure with our American investigators." The 'Americans' tortured defendents. It is known that the 'British' tortured Kramer and Hoess. Pohl was tortured and many others. The glimpse we have of the case of Gustav Perat, shows he was being beaten, starved, and basicially framed. QUESTION 1: Shouldn't it call into question the validity of "confessions" given in previous trials? [For example; the "Doctors" Trial, where Germans admitted to Horrific medical experiments and gassing the insane.] QUESTION 2: If the 'Americans' tortured defendents on such a scale, what did the COMMUNISTS do? -- Jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the mountains of truth you never climb in vain.

It is clear that the labour situation is made more difficult when in the middle of the war effort, the order is given to prepare all Jews for annihilation. The responsibility for this order does not lie with the offices of the Generalgouvernement. The directive for the annihilation of the Jews comes from higher sources. We can only deal with the consequences of this situation, and we can tell the agencies of the Reich that the taking away of the Jews has led to tremendous difficulties in the labour field. Just the other day I could prove to Staatssekretar Ganzenmuller, who complained that a large construction project in the Generalgouvernement has come to a standstill, that that would not have happened if the many thousands of Jews who were employed there had not been taken away. Now the order provides that the armament Jews also are to be taken away. I hope that this order, if not already voided, will be revoked, because then the situation will be even worse. Hilberg (1961) page 336. My interpretation is that Frank is complaining about the removal of the jews >from the generalgovernment and into concentration camps thus "annihilating" the jews, and the effect on the labour situation, . The order contains "the taking away of the jews", including the jews working on armaments. This refers to Himmlers order "I order the resettlement of the entire jewish population in the generalgovernment be carried out and completed by december 31 1942. As of December 31, 1942, no persons of Jewish descent must remain in the Generalgouvernement unless they are living in camps at Warsaw, Krakow, Czestochowa, Radom, or Lublin. All other undertakings which employ Jewish labor have to be finished by that time or, if completion is not possible, have to be transferred to one of the camps." These measures, Himmler continued, were necessary for the new order in Europe, as well as for the "security and cleanliness" of the German Reich and its spheres of interest. Every violation of this regulation would endanger peace and order and would create in Europe "the germ of a resistance movement and a moral and physical center of pestilence." [Himmler to Kruger July 19 1942 ] Refer to Hilberg [1961] pages 334-336 for the conflict between the security agencies led by Himmler and those who wanted jews for labour. The translations seem to differ somewhat. Is german that variable?

"victims of the Auschwitz crematoria exceeds 700,000" [The Final Solution (1968) Reitlinger. p501] 1) 700,000 x 50 lbs = 35 000 000 lbs = 15,625 tons of Coke. 2) 700,000 x 100 lbs = 70 000 000 lbs = 31,250 tons of Coke. But of course, you have to remember the Nazis actually used the crematoria in the function of "incinerators". Of course, that's why the Nazis built crematoria, as a cover, because building actual incinerators would have given the game away, immediately. They would have been easily spotted by allied photo-recce planes, but luckily the allies won't allowed to send any over, despite the genocide going on. So it was easy to use the crematoria as incinerators. This is because using crematories as incinerators to cremate people is more efficent than using crematoria to cremate people. And of course crematoria which are being used in the function of incinerators use less coke and can cremate many more corpses at the same time than an crematorium can. Also crematoria used in the function of "incinerators" can be kept going day and night, don't need to be cleaned blah blah blah EVEN if we halve the lower figure [to allow for kids, etc] we still come up with an incredible figure. (700,000 x 50 lbs = 35 000 000 lbs)/2 = 7,812 tons of Coke. QUESTION : This is a enormous amount of coke. [How much in a normal train load?] How much coke was sent to fuel the Auschwitz Krema?

In 27 pages a certain Ludwig Kohlhammer, Landesgruppenleiter, reports very exactly on the number of participants - 31 persons - and their names and what each one said.

And says "If anything, Phillimore demonstrated Steengracht's complete unreliability as a witness and his willingness to lie." Quote: "The crushing written evidence was reinforced by oral testimony from former subordinates of the defendents, such as Staatssekretare [Josef] Buhler and [Adolf] Steengracht and SS men [Otto] Ohlendorf, [Dieter] Wisliceny, [wilhelm] Hottl, [Rudolf] Hoess and [Oswald] Pohl. The sight of these men provoked consternation in the defence and when Himmlers own favoured general, Obergruppenfurhrer von dem Bach-Zelewski, testified for the prosecution, the prisoners were unanimous in calling him a schwein." (cf Hilberg Destruction...1961, p 688) Why should the sight of Steengracht, who Mr Morris states is a DEFENCE witness provoke "consternation in the defence" ? The answer I suspect was Steengracht was NOT a defence witness. Or maybe he was called by the prosecution as well as being a defence witness. This may have been allowed by the IMT. Who knows what the rules of the IMT were then as it seems that were er still making them [up] as Mr Morris says. This is a trial of course of which a top american Judge was a "high-grade lynching party". >> And this is what he stated the day before in reply to a question put by Dr. Horn, von Ribbentrop's counsel: "Our liaison with Hitler informed us that the latter, informed by Bormann, had ordered Rosenberg's office to organize an anti-Semitic congress. Ribbentrop did not want to believe it, but after having had a conversation with the liaison agent, he had to believe it. Since this decision made it impossible for us to prevent the congress through official channels, we tried to prevent it with a policy of hesitation, delay and obstruction And, although the order had been issued in the spring of 1944, and the war was still not over in April 1945, the congress never took place."

I would like to refer to this document just for one question: In this document appear the minutes of a congress, of a gathering at which were present all the reporters on Jewish matters in the various diplomatic missions in Europe. This congress was held at Krummhubel on April 3 and 4, 1944. It had been organized by Schleier. That was read the other day. You knew about this congress, I suppose?" von Ribbentrop: "No, I am hearing about it for the first time. What was that congress? I have not even heard that such a congress took place.

You have testified that you did not know about this gathering at which were pre-sent thirty one persons, almost all of them diplomatic personnel. I point out to you that during this reunion Counsellor of Embassy von Thadden made a declaration which was reported in the following terms: 'The orator is showing why the Zionist solution of Palestine and other similar solutions should be rejected, and why there are grounds for the deportation of the Jews to the eastern territories.' I suggest that this declaration made by a Counsellor of Embassy before thirty one persons in your department represented your own thesis on the subject." von Ribbentrop: "Yes, but I do not know at all what you are trying to say. Will you please put the document at my disposal so that I may answer?" Mr Faure.

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find one thesaurus, in English or German, which gives as a synonym for "annihilation" or "Vernichtung" any of the following: expulsion, deportation, imprisonment, detention, transportation, internment, migration, removal (by means other than destruction), or any similar word that a literate speaker would recognize as a synonym. Failing that, perhaps you can find another text which uses the word in question in a context where they clearly mean one of those (non-lethal) things. Failing that, perhaps you can retrieve Frank's school records which show that he received poor marks in German, so that he didn't really understand what "Vernichtung" meant. [snip] ms> Frankly (no pun intended) I think you've got your work cut out for you. Not really. Vernichtung does mean "annihilation", I did not mean that it was a "codeword" for something else. Although of course, anti-revisionists think that "morgue" is a codeword for "gas chamber", "in readiness for transport" is code for "to be gassed", "seperately quartered" is code for "to be gassed" and "dragged through" is code for [have a guess?] etc etc etc etc etc etc And Hans Frank is using the word in its sense for "annihilation". I think you've missed my point here. Hans Frank was REFERING to the Himmler order [already posted] to transfer jews from the generalgovernment of Poland into camps. Himmler has ordered this done for security/political reasons. The Himmler order doesn't contain a explicit order to exterminate the jews. Hans Frank says the order[ie the Himmler order] is to prepare the jews for annihilation. Since Hitler often refered in his speeches to his statement in 1939 that if the jews plunged Europe into war it will not be the Aryan peoples that will be extipated, but it would be the jews will be annihilated. It is then not surprising that Hans Frank then says the Himmler order is a preparation for "annihilation." -- Jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the mountains of truth you never climb in vain.

They go down five or six steps into a fairly long, well-constructed and well-ventilated cellar area, which is lined with benches to the left and right. It is brightly lit, and the benches are numbered. The prisoners are told that they are to be cleansed and disinfected for their new assignments. They must therefore completely undress to be bathed. To avoid panic and to prevent disturbances of any kind, they are instructed to arrange their clothing neatly under their respective numbers, so that they will be able to find their things again after their bath. Everything proceeds in a perfectly orderly fashion. Then they pass through a small corridor and enter a large cellar room which resembles a shower bath. In this room are three large pillars, into which certain materials can be lowered from outside the cellar room. When three- to four-hundred people have been herded into this room, the doors are shut, and containers filled with the substances are dropped down into the pillars. As soon as the containers touch the base of the pillars, they release particular substances that put the people to sleep in one minute. A few minutes later, the door opens on the other side, where the elevator is located. . . . Then the corpses are loaded into elevators and brought up to the first floor, where ten large crematoria are located. (Because fresh corpses burn particularly well, only 50-100 lbs. of coke are needed for the whole process.) The job itself is performed by Jewish prisoners, who never step outside this camp again. The results of this `resettlement action' to date: 500,000 Jews Current capacity of the `resettlement action' ovens: 10,000 in twenty-four hours." --from report entitled "Resettlement of Jews" written by SS-Sturmbannfuehrer Alfred Franke-Gricksch for SS-Col. M. von Herff and RF-SS H. Himmler, after inspection of Auschwitz camp on 14-16 May 1943. This excerpt from "Hitler and the Final Solution" by Gerald Fleming, The Franke-Gricksch 'Resettlement Action Report': A Fabrication The Franke-Gricksch Report is considered by many to be an extremely important document in making the case for mass exterminations. Gerald Fleming, for example, devotes an entire chapter of his book "Hitler and the Final Solution" to an evaluation of this document. According to legend, the original document was supposedly found in Major Alfred Franke-Gricksch's career file by Eric Lipman, an officer with the War Crimes Branch of the U.S. Third Army (supposedly Lipman was tipped to its existence after finding a carbon copy of the document somewhere in Bavaria). Lipman supposedly excerpted the Report from the document by making a typescript copy (that is, typing a copy in German from the German original). The carbon copy of the original was then turned over to the prosecution team at Nuremberg, while the original (according to Pressac) is now thought to be preserved in the National Archives Collection reference NA RG 238. However, the original seems to have become lost, and as of the middle of 1991 no one else has seen hide nor hair of it. The American prosecution team at Nuremberg never made use of this document, which raises the question as to whether they ever received it, which in turn raises questions at to whether it even exists. On Gerald Fleming's part, on February 19, 1991, Brian Renk requested a copy of the carbon copy of the original document from which the Report was allegedly excerpted. Fleming responded by sending a photocopy of the Report ONLY, this in spite of the fact that Fleming has claimed to have in his possession one of three carbon copies of the original document. Fleming doesn't mention that the Franke-Gricksch "report" is but part of a larger document, and that is just one of the problems he has with this document. For example, in his book he fails to state that the document to which he devotes an entire chapter is nowhere signed by Franke-Gricksch. He also erroneously stated in a private letter to F-G's widow that her husband had signed this Report. He also avoids mentioning the peculiarities in the document (discussed below). He also finds fault with only one portion of the Report, and then goes on to quote Filip Mueller as an expert on the topic! Therefore, Fleming is ignorant of the true source of the document, and overlooks (conceals? misrepresents?) problems in the document in order to make his point. Fleming does not let the F-G report off the hook completely, however. He states: Franke-Gricksch's account of 'the execution of the Fuehrer-order,"; namely, the lowering of 'certain materials' into a large cellar room resembling a 'shower bath' and activation and release of 'particular substances that put people to sleep in one minute' is a fraudulent and cynical white-washing of death by gassing. What we are left with then, is no original or carbon copy thereof, and the only evidence we have of this document's existence is the excerpted Report, the deficiencies of which I shall examine now. Among of the most obvious things wrong with this "document" is the accidental use of English words in place of German words. Some of these anglicisms were corrected on the typescript copy, some were not. For example, on the first line of the report, "had" for "hat" "der" the second word of line 2, typed over "the" and on line 3, "hier" typed over "here" On line 8 of the second page of the report, the alleged copyist typed "had" but corrected it to "hat" only to begin the following word with "t" (evidently for "the") before catching that and typing the correct German definite article "die" Furthermore, in the final paragraph of page 1, the English participial ending "d" is twice typed for the German "t" that is "ausgestatted" for "ausgestattet" on line 5, which has been corrected, and "gebaded" for "gebadet" on line 9. Last but not least, the verb "kommt" is used twice with the same subject in the sentence beginning on line 6 of the third paragraph of line 1. All that aside, any reasonable person reading this "report" would immediately suspect something is wrong. Where is this "house" Where are the hollow pillars? What "certain substances" are used? How is it possible to open the doors a few minutes after a lethal gassing when a deadly poison is supposedly still rampant in the air? How can the hair be cut off without first rinsing it of the poison gas? Just how big is this house that it has elevators for hundreds of dead people? Is it normal for large Polish houses to have ten large crematories? By what amazing physical property do fresh corpses burn particularly well? If it takes a modern crematory 2 to 3 hours to partially dispose of a human corpse, how can 10,000 corpses be disposed of in 24 hours with only 10 crematories? Pressac says (on page 244), ";On 28th June, following the handover of Krematorium III, the last one to be completed, Jaehrling calculated the overall throughput for the five Krematorien as 4,756 people in 24 hours, and sent this information to SS General Kammler in Berlin (Document 68). This official figure, coolly doubled when explaining operations to high-ranking visitors (ef. SS Major Franke-Gricksch's report above, giving a figure of 10,000 in 24 hours), had no basis in practice, and probably has to be divided by two or three to arrive at the true figure."; Pressac is also much less generous than Fleming regarding other aspects of the Franke-Gricksch "report". Among the points he notes in this report are: The ";large house"; is actually Krema II at Birkenau. There are not 5 or 6 steps into the Leichenkeller, but 10. There are not 3 pillars inside the ";gas chamber"; but 4. The ";doors"; cannot be closed when there is only one door involved. There is no door to open ";on the other side"; because again there is only one door. The lift does not take the corpses to the first floor, but to the ground floor. There are not 10 crematoria furnaces but 5 three-muffle furnaces. There were probably not 500,000 Jews in killed in May, 1943, and true number is somewhere between 200,000 and 250,000. The capacity of Krema II was not 10,000 per 24 hours, but rather 4,756 for all FIVE crematoria combined, and even this is a theoretical output "that was never achieved in 1943, as proved by the Krematorium coke consumption". Pressac calls this claim "another Auschwitz SS propaganda figure passed on by Franke-Gricksch." To make up for these deficiencies, Pressac follows his usual procedure of concocting an elaborate scenario in an attempt to preserve the desirable portions of the Report while shrugging off the ridiculous portions. Even at this, Pressac misses some of the problems with this document. For example: He fails to explain how the Sonderkommando members could have resisted the lingering Zyklon B gas as they went to work hauling bodies from the gas chamber, removing gold teeth, etc., only "a few minutes" after the killings. Anyone visiting the ruins of Leichenkeller I can see that the four pillars are not hollow at all, but are solid, which would have prevented anything from being dropped down them. Pressac fails to address the assertion that "fresh corpses burn particularly well". Pressac ignores the Report's mention of a "special rail track into an area of the camp specifically set aside for this purpose." Although there was a rail spur into Birkenau, work was not begun on it until January, 1944. (This single reference, by the way, is enough by itself to show that this document is almost certainly a post-war forgery. Unmentioned by both Fleming and Pressac is the fact that nowhere in the report does it say that Franke-Gricksch SAW the process he describes. In fact, the report claims he was given a tour of the facilities and the process was explained to him. We know from the records at Auschwitz that Franke-Gricksch was there from May 14-16, 1943. These are certainly remarkable characteristics for what Fleming, Pressac, and others advance as a simple transcription of a German original. A less trusting (or perhaps more scrupulous) interpreter would be well within his rights to suggest that this document was based on an English-language, not German-language, source. In short, what we have here is 1) a carbon copy of a typed copy of a carbon copy of an original document, and this original document has never surfaced, 2) gross errors in the typed copy that would lead any scholar to suspect that the "Report" was not copied from a German document, but translated from an English original (that is, forged), and 3) several inaccuracies in the Report itself, at least one of which damns the Report as a forgery. Ask yourself this question: with all the tons and tons of papers removed from Germany after the war, with all the code intercepts during the war, with all the intelligence activity during the war, why do exterminationists find themselves forced to refer to transparent fabrications such as the Franke-Gricksch Report to support their position? The mass gassing of millions of Jews (and millions of others) is no easy task, and would certainly leave behind some trace. Without this trace, the only conclusion is that it never happened.

His statement had been prepared in German had been submitted to the Military Governor of the US Zone of Occupation in English translation. Since no more than a handful of Americans have seen this or any other German "war criminal's" side of the story, I reproduce it in its entirety, as follows: I, Gustav PETRAT, born 12 November 1924 in Wirballen/Litauen [Lithuania], presently in Landsberg/Lech, make the following sworn statement after I have been informed that this statement is to be submitted to the Military Governor of the US Zone and that an false statement may be severely punished. l. In May 1944, on account of my wound, I was transferred to the guard personnel of the Mauthausen concentration camp and served there as dog leader with the 16th Guard Company. My rank was Corporal (Rottenfuehrer) in the Armed (Waffen) SS. 2. On 10 May 1945, I was taken prisoner by American soldiers in Reid near Mauthausen and taken to the Tittling camp. When I got there I was mistreated with whips, fists and feet, as was the general custom at that time for newly arrived prisoners. 3. Like many others I was quartered in a potato patch in the open air, so that we all were exposed to the weather. The first three days we received nothing to eat, and from the fourth day on they gave us one loaf of bread for every 20 prisoners and 1 litre of soup for every two men. Under these conditions I lived for some weeks until I was totally undernourished, so that it was hardly possible for me to move from the spot. 4. On 26 May 1945 I had my first interrogation there, which was one of the most memorable of my entire captivity. Even before they asked me the first Question, they struck me so that I collapsed. After I had managed to stagger upright again in spite of my weak condition and aided by the necessary kicks >from the interrogator, the real interrogation began. They asked me questions that I could not have answered if I had the best will in the world to do so. I was to state where the leader of the Mauthausen Concentration Camp was. It was impossible for me to give the information, since I really didn't know, and, as a little corporal I couldn't know. My reply loosed a hail of blows. The second question concerned myself. They asked me how many prisoners I had shot and beaten, to which I replied truthfully and with a clean conscience, "Not one." Then the interrogator drew a pistol and threatened to kill me if I did not tell the truth, immediately. He meant, however, that I should be hanged. I told him again that I only spoke the truth and he could kill me if he wanted to, that at least I would be freed from the whole mess. Then more blows, and with a push in the small of the back I fled [sic]. 5. On 9 May 1945 I was taken to the Moosburg internment camp with about 80 other prisoners. On 7 September 1945 I had my second interrogation, in Moosburg, at which they asked me the same questions they asked in the Tittling camp. There too, I received blows from a whip. This consisted of a wooden handle about 30 cm long to which leather straps had been fastened. Since I had to answer the questions in the negative, they told me that there were other ways and means to force me to tell the truth. Then the interrogator left the room for a few minutes, and returned with a second interrogator. Since I had to reply to this man's questions in the negative also, because I did not know of any killing, he struck me with his fists and threatened to "hang" and "shoot" me. After I stuck to my guns, I was taken back to my quarters. On 10 February 1946 I was transferred to the Dachau internment camp. 6. There I was interrogated two times At the interrogation on 21 June 1946 they read statements to me that said that I had shot eight prisoners in the Mauthausen concentration camp. I was to sign this, but I vigorously refused because I never shot a prisoner After repeated requests to sign, I was struck with fists and kicked with feet. They put a paper in front of me to sign in which it said that l had never been beaten by American interrogators and soldiers. I refused, and only after repeated blows, with the threat that I would never leave the room alive until I had signed, and that they would know how to break me down my obstinacy, did I put my name to it. I had never had anything to do with the court in my life and I was afraid that they would make my life even more difficult. 7. In January 1947 the so-called "line-ups" commenced in Dachau Special Camp. I was confronted with prisoners three times, yet not one accused me of the least thing. The man in charge of the line-up, Mr. ENTRESS, told the prisoners that I was said to have shot many and beaten them to death, where at only a burst of laugher arose. At that time I was 22 years old. When I was 19.5 I came to Mauthausen as dog-leader. A former prominent prisoner, Dr. SANNER, asserted he did not know me, but if a dog-leader had beaten prisoners to death or shot them that would certainly have become known in the camp. Many other former long-term prisoners joined in this exonerating testimony 8. At mid-July 1947 I and my seven co-accused were presented for the first time to our official defence lawyer, Major William A.OATES. To his question whether I knew what I was accused of, and by whom, I could only reply that I was not conscious of any guilt and also had never counted on being brought to trial, since I had never mistreated or killed anyone. Major OATES told me that he too, knew nothing, that he could not get a glimpse of the incriminating papers of the prosecution, and therefore he would have to go by my statements, the general charge sheet, and the testimony of the prosecution witnesses at the trial. Since only the prosecution had access to the records, my lawyer did not see them, and so naturally it was very difficult for him to prepare a defence. Major OATES promised to do everything he could. Also I gave him the names of the witnesses who were important for me, and who themselves were interned in Dacha.

Christie then showed Hilberg the transcript for April 26, 1946, where Justice Robert H. Jackson asked that defendant Julius Streicher's testimony regarding his torture be expunged from the record, and his motion was granted. "In one excised section, Streicher described being thrown naked into a cell for four days, where "I was burned, I was thrown on the floor, and an iron chain was put upon me. I had to kiss the feet of negroes who spat into my face. Two colored men, and a white officer spit into my mouth, and when I didn't open it any more, they opened it with a wooden stick, and when I asked for water I was led to the latrine and I was ordered to drink from there." In another erased section, Streicher asked people in the courtroom not to laugh when he asked for questions to be repeated. "I can't help it," he said, that, in the prison at Freising, I was beaten so badly "that I have lost 40 percent of my hearing capacity." The Nuremberg trials was described by a top american Judge as "an High grade Lynching party." That's what they were.

By Fred Redman TODAY I am able to tell you the full story, revealed in Washington, of the American war trials scandal. It is an ugly story of barbarous tortures inflicted in the name of Allied justice. It is time the British people knew all the facts. Little has appeared in our press until today. The charge is that American soldiers, building evidence against Germans accused of war crimes, have behaved with the same sadistic cruelty as the beasts who terrorised Europe when it was under Nazi domination. The truth has come out through the persistence of an American lawyer and the frank horror of an American Judge who refuses to be muzzled. Judge Edward Van Roden member of a US Army Commission of Inquiry tells how burning matches were forced under the fingernails of a prisoner by American investigators to extort a confession. For months, he says, men were kept in solitary confinement on near-starvation rations. And they were beaten up and savagely kicked until strong men were redeuced to broken wrecks ready to mumble any admission demanded by their prosecutors. The war department have shown the Judges personal report only to General Lucius Clay, their military commander in Germany. Washington suspects the reason was that it was too shocking for public disclosure. ....Commission sent to Germany to investigate was was even more candid. "All but two of the Germans in the 139 cases we investigated, had been kicked in the testicles beyond repair." he charged. "this was standard operating procedure with our American investigators. "They would put a black hood over the accused's head and then punch him in the face with brass knuckles." US Army prosecution teams had he said had posed as priests to hear confessions and give absolution. At mock trials men who refused to confess were confronted by a crucifix and burning candles. Those sham courts, attended by men in US Army uniform, passed sham death sentences. Then the accused were told: "Sign this confession and we get you acquitted." [The Sunday Pictorial Jan 23rd 1949] "All but two of the Germans in the 139 cases we investigated, had been kicked in the testicles beyond repair." "The change [of public opinion] followed the notorious case of the American Dachau Tribunal. This tribunal which was abolished in December 1947, had tried 1,500 Germans and condemned 420 of them to death. In autumn of that year Dachau justicc became the subject of a commission of investigation under Judge Gordon Simpson of the Texas Supreme Court. The commission recommended that 29 men who were still under sentence ot death should be reprieved, and it declared that statements had be obtained both from defendents and witnesses by highly questionable means." [The final solution [1968] by Reitlinger. page 548] Question: The 'Americans' tortured defendents. Shouldn't it call into question the validity of confessions given in previous trials? Question: If the Americans tortured defendents on such a scale, what did the British, and the Communists do? -- Jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the mountains of truth you never climb in vain.

Also, I recall an account which says that Anne Franks dad found the diary hidden in the rafters, after the war when he returned from being detained. [any confirmation of this account, anybody?] So it could be 5. I remember looking in the critical edition for the origin of the diary, but couldn't find any reference to who found it. Perhaps, you can find a reference? Jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the mountains of truth you never climb in vain.

"It is horrifying to see these poor people being packed into open trucks. Do you know about it? Do you permit it?" Her outburst was greeted by a icy silence. Hitler retorted, "They are being driven off to work, so you needn't pity them. Meantime our soldiers are fighting and dying on the battlefields!" [Hitlers War by David Irving 1977 p529] QUESTION: Why didn't Hitler retort "Our people are being killed, so we are gassing the jew bastards" or suchlike? -- Jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the mountains of truth you never climb in vain.
