Not that the Nazis had to handle the corspes of the victims they murdered.
That was left to the Sonderkommando prisoners.

Indeed it would, especially considering the following:
"When blowflies oviposit, their eggs has come very short in their
embryonic development. The eggs are approximate 2 mm in length. During the
first eight hours or so there is little signs of development. This changes
after that, and one can see the larvae through the chorion of the egg at
the end of the egg stage. The egg stage typically lasts a day or so.
Source: _Forensic entomology and estimating time of death_,
http://www.uio.no/~mostarke/forens_ent/forensic_entomol_pmi.html
Given that the corpses of the victims murdered by the Nazis in the gas
chambers were generally incinerated within 24-hours of their death, the
argument that L.Keller 1 was fumigated to "prevent maggots in morgues" is
a rather specious argument considering that the larvae would hardly have
had time to hatch (at best) before the corpses of the victims were
incinerated. No bodies, no larvae. No larvae, no reason to fumigate the
L.Keller to kill larvae.
As to rats? How exactly were rats supposed get into the gas chamber? The
victims were herded into it and then immediately gassed. Obviously, any
rats present would also have perished. Again, given, that the Nazis
ordered the Sonderkommandos to _immediately_ start the removal of the
victims' corpses from the gas chamber and take them to the furnace hall to
be incinerated- a very busy enterprise involving dozens of Sonderkommando
trafficking back and forth beween the furnace hall and gas chamber for
hours -makes the idea that somehow the bare concrete gas chambers
immediateley became infested with rats, thus requiring L.Keller 1 to be
fumigated, rather ludicrous.
But then, the Troll is the master of ludicrous arguments. But such
insanity need not be taken seriously, just pitied -and easily refuted
everytime it is put forward.

Indeed. Lipstadt also points out the problems in attempting to muzzle
Holocust deniers with "legal maneuvers." (See below.)
Perhaps it is best to let Lipstadt's words speak for her on what she does
and does not advocate? To wit, from her book _Denying the Holocaust_
(1994); pp. xvii, 219-22:
³...Given that the Holocaust itself beggars the imagination, it is predictable
that the deniers will find good-hearted but uneducated people who will succumb
to these mental gyrations.
³More important, we must remember that we are dealing with an irrational
phenomenon that is rooted in one of the oldest hatreds, antisemitism.
Antisemitism, like every other form of prejudice, is not responsive to
logic.
We may battle against contemporary manifestations of it and hope that we
are successful, but none of us should be deluded into thinking that any
particular battle will be the last. Deniers may have been dealt a blow by
major developments such as the opening of the United States Holocaust
Memorial Museum and the film _Schindler's List_. But a museum and film
alone will not vanquish them. Either
the deniers or the next genre of antisemites will eventually surface in some
other form. As Albert Camus reminds us in the final paragraphs of The Plague:
³He knew that the tale he had to tell could not be one of a final victory.
It could be only the record of what had had to be done and what assuredly
would have to be done again in the never--ending fight against terror and
its relentless onslaughts.... And indeed, as he listened to the cries of
joy rising from the town Rieux remembered that such joy is always imperiled.
He knew what those jubilant crowds did not know but could have learned
from books: that the plague bacillus never dies or disappears for good;
that it can lie dormant for- years and years in furniture and linen-chests;
that it bides its time in bedrooms, cellars, trunks and bookshelves; and
that perhaps the day would come when ... it roused up its rats again and
sent them forth to die in a happy city.
³In the 1930s Nazi rats spread a virulent form of antisemitism that resulted
in the destruction of millions. Today the bacillus carried by these rats
threatens to "kill" those who already died at the hands of the Nazis for a
second time by destroying the world's memory of them. One can only speculate
about the form of the bacillus' next mutation. All those who value truth,
particularly truths that are subject to attack by the plague of hatred,
must remain ever vigilant. The bacillus of prejudice is exceedingly
tenacious and
truth and memory exceedingly fragile.
³...What, then, are the most efficacious strategies for countering these
attacks? Much of the onus is on academe, portions,of which have already
miserably failed the test. Educators, historians, sociologists, and
political scientists hold one of the keys to a defense of the truth. What
those who cannot be beguiled by diversionary arguments and soft reasoning
know to be fact must be made accessible to the general public.
³The establishment of Holocaust museums may play an important role in this
effort. These institutions, and all who teach about the Holocaust, must be
scrupulously careful about the information they impart so as not
inadvertently to provide the deniers with room to maneuver. They must also
be careful about "invoking" the Holocaust as a means of justifying certain
policies and actions.
³This is particularly true for the Jewish community. The purveyors of
popular culture-television and radio talk-show hosts prominent among
them-must understand that by Living denial a forum they become pawns in a
dangerous war. As in individuals who help shape public opinion, they must
recognize that this struggle is not about ignorance but about hate.
³There are those who believe that the courtroom is the place to fight the
deniers. This is where Austria, Germany, France, and Canada have mounted
their efforts. The legislation that has been adopted takes different
forms. Some bills criminalize incitement to hatred; discrimination; or
violence on racial, ethnic, or religious grounds. Others ban the
dissemination of views based on racial superiority for one sector of the
population and expression of contempt toward a group implying its racial
inferiority.
The problem with such legal maneuvers is that they are often difficult to
sustain or carry through. In August 1992 the Canadian Supreme Court threw
out Zundel's conviction when they ruled that the prohibition against
spreading false news likely to harm a recognizable group was too vague and
possibly restricted legitimate forms of speech . An even greater
difficulty arises when the court is asked to render a decision not on a
point of law, as happened in the Mermelstein case, but on a point of
history, as happened in the Zundel trial, in which the judge took
historical notice of the Holocaust. It transforms the legal arena into a
historical forum, something the courtroom was never designed to be. When
historical disputes become lawsuits, the outcome is unpredictable.
³The main shortcoming of legal restraints is that they transform the
deniers into martyrs on the altar of freedom of speech. This, to some
measure, has happened to Faurisson, who in March 1991 was convicted of
proclaiming the Holocaust a "lie of history." The same court that found
him guilty denounced the law under which he was tried and convicted. The
free-speech controversy can obscure the deniers' antisemitism and turn the
hate monger into a victim. A recent National Public, Radio report on
controlling neofascist activities in Europe took exactly this approach
toward, Faurisson's conviction. Rather than dwell on what he has said and
done, it focused on his loss of freedom of speech. When the publisher of
the Austrian magazine Halt was convicted of "neo-Nazi activities" for his
Holocaust-denial statements, _Spotlight_ published the news under a
headline that read, NO FREE SPEECH. A disturbing reversal of the
free-speech argument has recently been used by deniers to penalize those
who oppose them. In 1984 David McCalden, the former director of the IHR,
contracted to rent exhibit space at the California Library Association's
annual conference. The subject of his exhibit was the Holocaust "hoax."
The Simon Wiesenthal Center and the American Jewish Committee (AJC)
protested to both city and association officials. The Wiesenthal Center
rented a room near McCalden's exhibit space to set up its own exhibit, and
the AJC threatened to conduct demonstrations outside the hotel in which
the meeting was to be held. When the association cancelled McCalden's
contract he sued the Wiesenthal Center and the AJC, arguing that they had
conspired to deprive him of his constitutional rights to free speech.
Though the court dismissed his complaint, the U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals reversed that decision in 1992. The case constitutes the first
time that the First Amendment has been used to attempt to still the voices
of those who oppose Nazi bigotry.
³Another legal maneuver has been adopted by a growing number of countries.
They, have barred entry rights to known deniers. David Irving, for
example, has been barred from Germany, Austria, Italy, and Canada.
Australia is apparently also considering barring him.
³Others have argued that the best tactic is just to ignore the deniers
because what they crave is publicity, and attacks on them provide it. I
have encountered this view repeatedly while writing this book. I have been
asked if I am giving them what they want and enhancing their credibility
by deigning to respond to them. Deny them what they so desperately desire
and need, and, critics claim, they will wither on the vine. It is true
that publicity is what the deniers need to survive, hence their
media-sensitive tactics- such as ads in college papers, challenges to
debate ³exterminationists,² pseudoscientific reports, and truth tours of
death-camp sites. I once was an ardent advocate of ignoring them. In fact,
when I first began this book I was beset by the fear that I would
inadvertently enhance their credibility by responding to their fantasies.
But having immersed myself in their activities for too long a time, I am
now convinced that ignoring them is no longer an option. The time to hope
that of their own accord they will blow away like the dust is gone. Too
many of my students have come to me and asked, "How do we know there
really were gas chambers?" "Was the Diary of Anne Frank a hoax?" "Are
there actual documents attesting to a Nazi plan to annihilate the Jews?"
Some of these students are aware that their questions have been informed
by deniers. Others are not; they just know that they have heard these
charges. and are troubled by them.
³Not ignoring the deniers does not mean engaging them in discussion or
debate. In fact, it means not doing that. We cannot debate them for two
reasons, one strategic and the other tactical. As we have repeatedly seen,
the deniers long to be considered the "other" side. Engaging them in
discussion makes them exactly that. Second, they are contemptuous of the
very tools that shape any honest debate: truth and reason. Debating them
would be like trying to nail a glob of jelly to the wall.
³Though we cannot directly engage them, there is something we can do.
Those who care not just about Jewish history or the history of the
Holocaust but about truth in all its forms, must function as canaries in
the mine once did, to guard against the spread of noxious fumes. We must
vigilantly stand watch against an increasingly nimble enemy. But unlike
the canary, we must not sit silently by waiting to expire so that others
will be warned of the danger. When we witness assaults on truth, our
response must be strong, though neither polemical nor emotional. We must
educate the broader public and academe about this threat and its
historical and ideological roots. We must expose these people for what
they are.
³The effort will not be pleasant. Those who take on this task will
sometimes feel- as I often did in the course of writing this work -as if
they are being forced to _prove_ what they know to be fact. Those of us
who make scholarship our vocation and avocation dream of spending our
time charting new paths, opening new vistas, and offering new perspectives
on some aspect of the truth. We seek to discover, not to defend. We did
not train in our respective fields in order to stand like watchmen and
women on the Rhine. Yet this is what we must do. We do so in order to
expose falsehood and hate. We will remain ever vigilant so that the most
precious tools of our trade and our society- truth and reason -can
prevail. The still, small voices of millions cry out to us from the ground
demanding that we do no less.

Krema I had three (3) furnaces with two (2) muffles (retorts) each.
Kremas II and III had five (5) furnaces with three (3) muffles (retorts) each.
Kremas IV and V had one (1) furnace with eight (8) muffles (retorts) each.

The underground flues to vent the hot exhaust gases from the furnaces are
easily discerned in the construction drawings of the Krema II . The
incinerated human remains fell through the chamotte grid of the retort
into the ash collection channel at the base of the furnace, then pulled
forward towards the ash collection door until they were _completely_
incinerated, and then manually removed. They were _not_ vented through the
chimney along with the hot exhaust gases.

Indeed. One of the first problems with Krema I, for instance, was that the
draft of the chimney was insufficient because the chimney was too short.
Kohler, a local engineering expert, ended up _adding_ a 12 m (underground)
flue to the (modified) 15 m chimney to create a draft of 27 m to solve the
problem. (cf. _Anatomy_, p.212.)
> The fires are said to have been raging all day, day after day,
> week after week onto months.
The furnaces were to said have been operated continuously _periodically_.
Specifically, during certain special Aktions, most notably Aktion Ho"ss,
in which approximately 438,000 Hungarian Jews were deported to Auschwitz
between May 15 to July 9, 1944. (cf. _Auschwitz Chronicle_, p.627; _Death
Dealer_, p.45.) Of these 480,000 Hungarian Jews, about 394,000 (90%) were
murdered in the gas chambers on or shortly after their arrival at
Auschwitz II-Birkenau.
That the Kremas did not typically operate continuously "all day, day after
day, week after week onto months" can easily be seen by fact that there
were gaps in the arrival of transports to Auschwitz (cf. _Auschwitz
Chronicle_) and that some of the Kremas were not on-line for significant
periods of time (cf. _Anatomy_, pp.233-237). Krema IV was disabled shortly
after it became operational in 1943 and was not subsequently used
thereafter (cf. Ibid. p.234). Krema V, for example, was idled through much
of (late) 1943 and only came on line in May of 1944 for Aktion Ho"ss (cf.
Ibid. p.238). Krema I was retired in early 1943 and subsequently
converted into a bomb shelter (cf. Ibid. p.159).

The temperature in the underground flues was typically around 500-700 C.
The temperature of the furnaces themselves was somewhat higher- 800-1,000
C. (cf. _Technique_, p. 137.) Furthermore, according to the operating
instructions for the Topf double and triple-muffle furnaces, the operating
temperature was to have been kept _below_ 1,100 C by introducing fresh air
(from the pulsed air blower.) (cf. Ibid. p.136.)

And does Moran provide the heat exchange equations to support this? No.
Does he provide historical evidence? No. Does he state what specific
problems to the Krema(s) this "negative effect" might cause? No. Well,
what _does_ Moran provide in support of his "claims?" Evidently, nothing
but his _own_ hot-air. How typical.

Obviously, Moran's "vision" is rather limited in scope and understanding.
The Germans did indeed develop and use such technology. In fact, said
"technology" was rather mundane. In Krema I, for instance, it consisted
of a rotary damper in the chimney to route the air flow past, a
moter-driven fan, to force a draft. The fan/motor was water-cooled. When
the draft was established the damper was switched to route the exhaust
gases back through the base of the chimney (closing off passage to the
fan/motor) and the fan shut off. (cf. Ibid. p.137.) During continuous
operation, when the furnaces were hot, the draft was already well
established and the forced draft ventilation system was not used.

Indeed he has. And if Moran had actually examined Pressac's work in detail
he would have realized that it clearly contradicts his insinuations.

Not true. See above.

As to "proof" that the ventilation of the gas chambers could have taken
place aproximately 5 minutes after the Zyklon B was administered one need
only look to Dr. Bendel's testimony concerning a gassing at Krema V:
"...Five minutes later the doors were opened...." (Ibid. p.470.)
Clearly, Zyklon B had the capacity to kill the victims within a few
minutes. As Krema V initially had no mechanical ventilation system, the
doors were opend as soon as possible to air out the gas chambers. One then
might wonder, as Pressec evedently did, _why_ would the SS wait 20-30
minutes- just before the gas-tight door of L.Keller 1 was opened -to start
the mechanical ventilation system of Krema II to air out the gas chamber?
Given that the victims died wihin a few minutes of the Zyklon B being
introduced, why _not_ start the ventilation of the gas chamber as soon as
possible to air out the lethal atmosphere as much as possibel _before_ the
door gas-tight door was opened?
As to Pressac's "orotund description of fan motors in the roof of the
Krema I would offer the following:
"The emplacement for the lift and ventilation motors are confirmed by the
testimony of a former prisoner, Porebski, who was a member of the
electrician commando from spring 1942 to the beginning of 1945 [<> by Langbein, p.92 ff]:
"'In Krematorium I [II] and II [III] there were electric extractor fans to
evacuate the gas and blowers by the furnaces to improve the fire...'
"'...in the roof space there was a room for the Sonderkopmmando [summer
1944]. There was also a lift and the installation for the ventilator fans
and an electrical safety installation.' [room si of the roof space, in the
western part of drawing 980] (_Technique_, p.374.)

When all Ehrlich606 has to "defend" himself with against Pressac is a
baseless accusation of fabrication, he obviously feel uncontrained by any
reasonable standard of integrity against flinging it out in desperation.
Pity. To have fallen so low so fast....

Actually, according to Pressac, the _entire_ process: undressing, herding
the victims into the gas chamber, gassing them, removing the bodies from
the gas chamber and taking them to the furnace hall, took several hours.
The actual homicidal gassing and ventilation of the gas chambers was a
small part- time-wise -of the whole operation.
Then there was also, again according to Pressac, the incineration of the
victims, which took even longer- a day or more depending on the number of
victims. The incineration process was by far the biggest bottleneck in the
extermination process, which was why incineration pits were used to

I seriously doubt he does. I think it quite likely that Ehrlich606 thinks
it only right and proper that he apply a double-standard to himself. At
least that is what I glean from his writings and rationalizations....

Actually, the "work" was _already_ sitting there in front of his eyes, but
he evidently wasn't able to see it. Sometimes it's tough having a "blind

Ho"ss wrote, "...the waiting disinfection squads would immediately pour
the gas [crystals] into the vent in the ceiling of the gas chambers down
an air shaft which went to the floor. This ensured the rapid distribution
of the gas...." (_Death Dealer_, p.44.)
Ho"ss also said that "the gas" was poured. He didn't didn't say "crystals"
or "pea-sized granules" or say whether it was blue or mauve either. It was
an _unimportant_ detail. Ho"ss description suffices (for all but the
impenetratively dense) that the Zyklon B was administered via the
wire-mesh introduction columns into the gas chamber.
> >...Also, Nyiszli doesn't call them wire mesh, either.
Nyiszli wrote, "...They were not supporting columns, but square sheet-iron
pipes the sides of which contained numerous perforations, like a wire
lattice." (_Auschwitz_, p.50.)
Well golly-gee-whiz, Ehrlich606, sure sounds like Nyiszli saw those
wire-mesh Zyklon B introduction columns, don't it? Why don't you stop
being an infantile bore with this drivel and simply admit you are blowing
smoke out your butt, Ehrlich606? It's soooo obvious.

He's amusing in his own way. He certainly has the Troll beat hands down in
the sanity department. Not to mention Moran pales in comparison in
literary acumen. However, I must add, the keeping of a lamprey-like
lip-lock on the troll's butt is taking it's toll. I've noticed a marked
degeneration in his writings since the "new" Ehrlich606 debuted.
Interestingly, Giwewr's posts have shown a sporiadic improvement over the
same period. Must be a kind of mutated Vulcan mind-meld or something.
Denier lip-butt meld maybe?
> I've had enough of this nonsense.
Nonsense it is indeed. Getting more so with every post Ehrlich606 makes. Pity.

And sodium cyanide and sulphuric acid would not need to be ordered as
well? You make no sense whatsoever, Mr.Kreiberg. (But then you didn't make
sense with your "exploding corpses" claim either.) Irregardless, it is a
specious objection. Zyklon B was a commercial fumigant that was _designed_
to be shipped in bulk. It was in widespread use not only in the civilian
sector but within the German armed forces as well. Zyklon B, _because_ it
was ubiquitous, was _inconspicuous_. Only the removal (and diminuation) of
the lachrymal changed this.
BTW, Not only would sulphuric acid need to be transported to Auschwitz, it
would need to be transported _away_ as well. And don't forget that it
would be contamninated with cyanides as well as _normally_ being toxic.
Spent Zyklon B, on the other hand, was non-toxic and easily transportable
(back to the factory) or disposable (typically by incineration).

So was the Nazi way. The homicidal use of Zyklon B was simplicity itself:
open a can, pour into the gas chamber, and walk away. The Nazi way was
also designed to kill hundreds, even _thousands_, at a time. Again, Mr.
Kreiberg, you are making no sense with your specious objections.

Mr. Kreiberg, you are being childish and absurd. Alfred Nobel invented
dynamite specifically for peaceful use. It did not mean, however, that
dynamite was not ideally suited as a munitions filler for the purpose of
wreaking death and destruction.
The same can be said of Zyklon B. Simply beacuse it was designed to kill
insects does not mean it was not ideally suited as a mass-homicidal agent
for use in large gas chambers.
Needless to say, Mr. Kreiberg, your resort to specious arguments is quite
unimpressive.

Hmmm. I don't recall writing that only one person was responsible for the
construction of the "little chimneys." Or that one person moved them
around, willy-nilly, on the roof. Please, help me out here and provide me
with the article where I said this.

Yes, these ersatz "rolls of tar paper" in the photo are indeed "black."
But many _other_ things can appear black as well. What _other_ things,
Ehrlich606, do you suppose would _also_ appear "black" in the photo, given
that the "little chimneys" measured approximately 1m x 1m x 1m? Please do
demonstrate your critical thinking abilities here for us, Ehrlich606. I
can think of at lest one other thing that would look just like the photo,
but has nothing to do with "rolls of tar paper" on the roof of L.Keller 1.
Can you?

Please demonstrate that these ersatz "rolls of tar paper" are not in the
same location of the "little chimneys" in the aerial photos taken of Krema
II. Please also enumerate your assumptions in detail.

Please see my response to #4 (above). Again, I can think of a perfectly
mundane explination for what is seen in the photo that has nothing
whatsoever to do with "rolls of tar paper" and everything to do with
"little chimneys." Can you?

Indeed. I would tend to agree that the "little chimneys" weren't made of metal.

I would also agree that Mr. Allen's idea that the "little chimneys" were
boxes of roofing material (instead of furniture or firearms) is indeed
ridiculous. About as ridiculous, in fact, as your assertion that these
images in the photo are "rolls of tar paper" sitting on the roof.
I can think of another kind of "box" that would indeed make a great deal
of sense to be exactly where they are in the photo. Can you, Ehrlich606?
Or is such an excercise in logic and deductive reasoning too much for you?

Why? Because you say so. Such hubris. Tsk tsk. Such pride before the fall.
Tsk tsk tsk. Poor Ehrlich606. So _certain_ about those "rolls of tar
paper" too.
Must be those "childhood memories." Such unreliable thing, memory. Or so

Excuse me. Did you not write in article <4tgek6$tm@newsbf02.news.aol.com>:
"My attitude on this is since we can't get specifics we should really drop
it. Neither the 37% hypothesis nor the Peters' comment are mutually

Such a stunning display of denier "logic." As if the reality of how the
gas chambers operated in 1941-44 didn't become reality until Pressac waved
his pen? Is this some denier corallary to the Schro"dinger's cat
experiment? That the gassings may or may not have has "problems" until
somebody writes about it?

Interesting that you can vouch for these alleged "problems" without
reading the Pressac's book.... Who told you of these "problems?" A little
denier birdie?
As to the difficulty of getting Pressac's _Technique_, I fully agree that
it is quite difficult to get. It took me over six months of beating the
bushes to get my copy. However, it was well worth the effort. So many
denier lies crumble to dust because of Pressac's commendable efforts. Only
if it _were_ in Waldenbooks! Right next to Irving's crap.

Sticks and stones, Ehrlich606. Doesn't change the fact that so far nearly
every denier (I'm being charitable here) that has posted for any decent
length of time in alt.revisionism has been exposed as a hypocrite and a
liar. Yourself included.

Hardly irrelevent, Ehrlich606. Please take special note of: "Then he
closed the orifice with a concrete [or wooden] cover."
There's how the Holzblenden worked.
And you castigated me above for resorting "to cheap ad hominems because" I
"would rather persuade people by appealing to their emotions than their
logic?" Yet when make good faith efforts to put the _evidence_ that
refutes your paltry objections at your feet, you whine "this is all
totally irrelevant."
As Robin Williams once said, "I'm vexed by assholes!"

Oooh, I'm just shaking in my boots! (NOT!)
But you do that, Ehrlich606, you hold me to those four cans of Zyklon B
that I quoted from Tauber's deposition in Pressac's _Technique_. But then
how about I hold _you_ to your dishonest "quotations" and lies of
ommission from Gilbert's _Nuremberg Diary_ and Lipstadt's _Denying the
Holocaust_?
Care to explain yourself there, Ehrlich606? Hmmm? Or will you once more

Predictably, it figures you'd take _that_ particular cop out. First you
make noises about how HCN esacping from the introduction columns would
pose "problems." Then when shown that the columns were capped with covers
to prevent such a thing (not to mention that the "disinfectors" wore gas
masks) you say (as you canter away) "you totally miss the point."

Ehrlich606, you _did_ try your damndest to discredit Nyiszli as a credible
witness, but you couldn't. And you _did_ turn around and cite Nyiszli
eyewitness testimony when it suited _your_ purpose. That's hyprocrital
behavior plain and simple. Pointing this out, that you are a hypocrite for
doing this, is not an ad hominem attack. I did not try to attack your
argument based on your hypocrisy but simply pointed out (rightly) that you
are a hypocrite. My attack on your argument followed this.
> But, btw, I am not concerned with Nyiszli's veracity. It is up to _you_ to

Nope. Nyislzli's testimony is part of the accepted record. You have a
problem with his testimony, you must successfully deconstruct it. So far
you haven't.
> You fail to do so, directly, instead you invoke Pressac, below:
Indeed. Because _my_ argument _isn't_ concerned with _disproving_
Nyiszli's testimony! I accept that Nyiszli, to his best knowledge, thought
it was indeed 30 minutes. I presented Pressac's argument because he has a
credible explination that explains this apparent contradiction.
[snip]

Nope. Pressac talks about something similar regarding "the crush of human
bodies" on page 377 of _Technique_. But since you seem to object so much
to my using Pressac for my arguments, I'll let _you_ look it up. };->
> ...You know, the kind that causes *suffocating coughs* in Nyiszli,

Indeed. The kind that didn't kill anybody because the gas chamber was
thouroughly vented of so that there wasn't a hazardous concentration of
HCN. The kind that could have arose from the "constriction of the throat"
and "respitory difficulties." As for the "*suffocating coughs*" not being
in the "safety manuals" for HCN, didn't you also claim- incorrectly -that
the literature on the sysmptoms of HCN poisoning claimed that the victims
couldn't turn blue?

> And now we are down to five minutes, contradicting several witnesses.
Start naming them.
Dr. Nyiszli? Nope. He claimed that "within five minutes everybody was
dead." (_Auschwitz_, p. 51.)
Dr. Bendel? Nope. He wrote, "The solid oak double doors were closed. For

Ho"ss? Nope. He wrote, "I can state that about one-third died immediately.

How about Broad? Nope. He wrote, "...Grabner looked with the interest of a

It consisted of cyanide hydrogen in solid form. As soon as the tin was

participated in the bestial gassing, could not refrain from lifting, for a
fraction of a second, the cover of one of the vents and from spitting into
the hall. Some two minutes later the screams became less loud and only an
indestinct groaning was heard. The majority of the gassed had already
lossed their consciousness. Two minutes more and Grabner stopped looking
at his watch. There was complete silence...." (_KL Auschwitz_, p.176.)

Nyiszli wrote, "Twenty minutes later the electric ventilators set going in

Ho"ss wrote, "The door was opened a half hour after the gas was thrown in

Dr. Bendel wrote, "Five minutes later, the doors were opened. Like and
avalanche, the bodies, heaped together and contorted, fell out...."
(_Technique_, p.470.)
The interesting thing here is that Dr. Bendel's account here was in
regards to Krema V. Initially, Krema V had no mechanical ventilation
system and, because its gas chambers were above ground, relied on opening
the (exterior) doors of the gas chambers to let the natural draft to
ventilate them. Evidently they were opened _five_ minutes after the Zyklon
B was administered.
The central thesis of Pressac's argument here was that it made no sense to
_wait_ twenty minutes to start the ventilation system after the victims
were killed (within 5 minutes or so). Dr. Bendel's testimony supports
Pressac's thesis in that _because_ there was no venitlator, whose _motors_
were tucked away in the attic and couldn't be heard in the basement, the
_doors_ of the gas chamber were opened AS SOON AS THE VICTIMS WERE DEAD. A
queue that signified the gassing was over. A visual queue that could
hardly have been missed- unlike the aural queue of the sound of the
ventilation system.
What Pressac argues is that the venitlation system was turned on no more
than ten minutes or so after the Zyklon B was administered. Then the gas
chamber was aired for 20 or 30 minutes and the door then opened (while the
venilattion system was still on). Given that Neither Ho"ss nor Nyislzi
could here the ventilation system when the gas-tight door was closed, they
didn't realize that it was turned on soon after the Zyklon B was
administered. They heard the ventilation system when the gas-tight door
was opened 20 or 30 minutes later and simply _assumed_ that was when it
was turned on.

The ventilation system for L.Keller exhausted the HCN-laden air from vents
on the roof of the Krema. (cf. _Anatomy_, p.166). As for removing the
spent (or nearly spent) Zyklon B you should remember, Ehrlich606, that
when the holzblenden would have been reomoved the ventilation system would
have been turned on. rather than HCN gas escaping, fresh air would be
sucked into the gas chamber. Try this the following experimet: Cut a bunch
of holes in a box. cover most of them up with tape. Stick a vacauum
cleaner hose in one end and turn on the vacuum cleaner. Untape a couple of
holes and feel the air being sucked in through them. Same general idea in
the gas chamber.
Please do try and keep to up here, Ehrlich606.

I think it is likely that the initial "experiment(s)" in Block 11 were

A wonderful display of specious expo facto "reasoning." Moran made no such
qualifications to indicate he was discussing _porosity_. To suggest such
when he _explicity_ stated that "the density of the solid would be the
most determining factor" is pure editorialization on your part.

This would certainly be true if it is given that the temperature of the
metal sheet remained constant. On the other hand, given a finite amount of
heat energy and that the metal sheet would cool due to heat loss to the
evaporating water and benzine, the comparitive physical properties (i.e.
heat capacity, heat of vaporization, vapor pressure, etc.) of water and
benzine would certainly need to be taken into account along with the
thermal conductivity of the metal sheet.

And? Mr. Schneider's point was rather clear. Whether one uses a sheet of
aluminum or a sheet of lead, the evaporation rate of water and benzine
would be independant of the metal's density. It has, however, everything
to do with the _temperature_ of the metal sheet.

Drop out the "physical affinity" of avtivated carbon? And how does one go
about doing that, considering that said "physical affinity" is the
adsorbative property of activated carbon? A property which has much to do
with the surface area (i.e. the porosity) of activated carbon....

Considering that silica gel can have a large surface area (approximately
300 m2/g), to then suggest that the purpose of using silica gel carrier
for Zyklon B was to slow the evaporation rate of HCN by _reducing_ the
surface area of the adsorbant, appears to be a rather specious argument.
Especially so when one considers, for example, the surface area of a 1 m x
1m x 1 cm "metal sheet" compared to the surface area of 1 m x 1 m x 1 cm
of silica gel.

Given that the evaporation of HCN from Zyklon B was extremely fast, this
too is a specious argument. More so when considering the handling,
storage, and transport hazards involving quantities of liquid HCN. It also
needs to be remembered that Eichmann required that the delivery system of
the homicidal agent into gas chambers at Auschwitz not be overly complex.
(This was one reason why the homicidal CO2 system used the T4 program was
rejected.) One can easily argue that a KCN/H2SO4 delivery system for would
be equally as complicated compared to using Zyklon B.

Indeed not. That "other" pathologist was Dr. Larson himself! When one
bothers to actually check _Crime Doctor_, where Dr. Larson relates his
accounts regarding the liberation of the concentration camps- especially
Dachau -one (unsuprisingly) finds that Mr. O'Keefe, the author of "The
'liberation of the camps': Facts vs. lies," to put it bluntly, lied.
For example, Mr. O'Keefe writes:
"...Dr. Larson, who told his biographer that to his knowledge he "was the
only forensic pathologist on duty in the entire European Theater," (note
3) informed Wichita Eagle reporter Jan Floerchinger that "never was a case
of poison gas uncovered." (note 4)"
Source: http://www.kaiwan.com/~ihrgreg/pamphlets/camps.html
How odd. According to Dr. Larson:
"The majority died of natural diseases of one kind or the another.
However, we did probe into such questions as, 'What happened to those
prisoners who became psychotic at Dachau? What did the Gestapo do with
them?' Well, they took those people to the crematorium. First, however,
they were taken to a big windowless building next to the crematorium where
the ceiling was covered with false shower heads. The victims were then
ordered to strip and take a 'shower.' Outside the building, guards dropped
in cyanide pellets. Then they'd blow the cyanide gas out and remove the
bodies next door to the crematorium ovens. I think this is what happened
to most of the truly psychotic prisoners and those they considered unruly
and unmanageable and who, in the Gestapo's opinion, were incorrigibles.
But, in my opinion, only relatively few of the inmates I personally
examined at Dachau were murdered in this manner. Still, medical facilities
were totally inadequate. When people fell hopelessly ill and death was
imminent, and when they grew so weak they could no longer work or
function, they were taken to the cyanide room for disposal. The Nazi
called them 'mercy killings' because there was no hope of them getting
well. Actually, the Germans considered them a liability, and extermination
was the answer." (_Crime Doctor_, p.61.)
I do believe this is called lying. The fact is that Dr. Larson _clearly_
intimates that prisoners in Dachau _were_ killed with cyanide gas and Mr.
O'Keefe states otherwise. In fact, by Dr. Larsen's statement: "...in my
opinion, only relatively few of the inmates I personally examined at
Dachau were murdered in this manner" it is implicit that Dr. Larson, in
his capacity as a U.S. Army _forensic_ pathologist (the only in Europe,
lest we forget), _determined_ that prisoners had died from cyanide
poisoning.
Yes, Mr. O'Keefe lied. It is there in black and white for all to see.
Those who wish to see the truth that is.

I see. Then you think quoting Dr. Larsen for something that has been
previously shown not to be the case is _not_ lying? Whether by commision
or _omission_? You _excuse_ this behavior when, in fact, it can be shown
relatively easily, given a modicum of effort (i.e. requesting Dr. Larsen's
book on inter-library loan from a public library), that Dr. Larson, in
fact, relates just the opposite?
Such (low) standards of "journalism" you condone! Unsuprising, really.

Now, _you_ are being rather silly here. A forensic pathologist (a rather
good one too, evidently) states, in his opinion as a forensic pathologist-
an opinion that generally carries great weight in a court of law as an
expert witness, that "relatively few" prisoners he "personally examined"
were murdered with cyanide (i.e. Zyklon B) and you do backlflips to
construe this to mean he "personally found no evidence" that prisoners
were murdered with cyanide?
And perhaps next you will insist black is white and white is black?
Please, go pedal your crackpot excuses to the mentally infirm- like your
pal the Troll.

Moran has not only skipped this lesson, but has compounded the
self-evidence of his lack of integrity by posting similar
"interpolations." This can be readily seen by examining:

fabrications to Hilberg's _Destruction_.

A fallacious assumption on your part. The construction of the roofs of the
L.Kellers were completed sometime before the photo showing the three
"little chimneys" was taken.

I think further consideration is needed here. Bone is mainly a
biocomposite of hydroxyapatite and collogen. Hydroxyapatite, the main
mineral component of bone, comprises about 1/4 the volume and 1/2 the mass
of normal adult bone and is deposited along the bone collagen fibrils.
Given this, it would suggest that bone should have a lower specific
gravity, due to the porous bone matrix, than pure hydroxyapatite.
This assumption appears to be borne out by the fact that bone (Cancelllus
and Cortical) has a specific gravity of 1.3.
Furthermore, when bone is calcinated only the hydroxyapatite remains in
the bone matrix, thus suggesting that the specific gravity of calcinated
bone should be even less. Therefore, considering that the calcinated bones
of the victims were crushed to fine fragments (less than 2/5 inches) would
seem to suggest that they were more readily disturbed by the lifting
velocity effect of the Vistula's current than you may have assumed above.

Indeed. The gas chambers of Krema II and III were ventilated with outside
air. During the _summer_ when the outside air temperature was _higher_
than the temperature in the gas chambers. Ergo, the gas chambers were
preheated. (During the winter the gas chambers were preheated with buckets
of red-hot coke.)

And the Troll needs to learn something about the construction and
operation of gas chambers of Auschwitz some day. Not only would it be good
for him, it would be a blessing for the rest of us. Assuming, of course,
that the Troll's endless drivel would lessen even a bit.

Indeed. Why would it make a difference at all? bitumous felt is pretty
much waterproof....

Actually, I wasn't speculating. I was being derisive. The idea that the
shadowed faces of the "little chimneys" are rolls of bitumous felt (i.e.
tar paper) is simply absurd. Which is why I made my comment. I find it
pathetic that Ehrlich606, for instance, grasps at such straws with
apparant abandon. Equally pathetic is Mr. Allen's cavalier flip-flopping
with his explination-of-the moment regarding the "little chimneys" in his
futile attempt to escape the facts.

Are you suggesting that Zklon B had different physical properties when
used in Krema II as opposed to Krema V? That people, when confined in gas
chambers and exposed to equivelent concentrations of HCN, _didn't_ die in
similar amounts of time?

Indeed no _proof_ (i.e. hard evidence) has been offered. No claims of such
were made. What _was_ offered was an _explination_, supported by
circumstantial evidence and induction, to why it made little sense to wait
as long as indicated by Ho"ss or Nysizli for the ventilation of the gas
chamber to commence.
You may accept the explination given or not. I have no real problem with
that. However, I should point out that _you_, Ehrlich606, haven't
addressed the explination on its merits (or lack thereof) but simply (and
dogmatically) click your heels three times and say "No proof. No proof.
No proof."
What was that you were saying about being "committed" to "notions?" Hmmm?

And where, exactly, was this bitoumous felt to be laid? On the roof of the
L.Keller? Nope. The bitumous felt "damp proofing" used in the roofs of the
L.Kellers was sandwiched _between_ layers of concrete in their roofs. This
had been done _prior_, as is evidenced by the completed roofs in the
picture (as well as in Bauleitung memoranda), to when the photo was taken.

Simply fallacious and/or incomplete assumptions on your part. You
certainly, to put the shoe on the other foot, have offered no _proof_ to
support your "tar paper theory."

A duplicate claim of "there were no underground flue systems."

underground flue system, which should be there, to this day."

So? Are you suggesting that physical laws varied between Kremas?

Please demonstrate this then. Be sure to include the proper heat and mass
transfer equations.

Indeed. And Krema I, if you would had bothered to open a book, also had
underground flues from the furnaces to the chimney. Not altogether unlike
Kremas II and III.
> ...Heat rises. Draft principles are contingent on heat rising.
Draft is dependant on the movement of a mass of air. (Never felt a _cold_
draft, I take it?) In this case a mass of hot gas moving through ducting.
The fact that this air mass, being hot gas, rises through and escapes the
_chimney_, creates a volume of low pressure in the chimney- not unlike a
fan would -thus sustaining the draft.

Wonderful! Now, please provide the heat and mass transfer equations
detailing this feat of Moronic(tm) engineering prowess that "proves" that
Kremas I, II, and III, couldn't have possibly functioned for the lengths
of time they did.
You might also wish to explain the eyewitness testimony and Bauleitung
documents mentioning the flues, the fact that furnaces operated, and that
thousands of tons of coke were shipped to Auschwitz and stored in the
Kremas that could only hold a fraction of that.

Ah, projecting again, I see. Moran, if there is one thing _you_ should

You do.

What I'm saying is on what basis, considering that the Kremas II and III
operated for about 18 months, do you claim that exhausting the hot furnace
gases via underground flues was not done or would have posed
insurmountable problems?

And on what basis to you make such an estimation? What documentation did
you reference for this? Where are the heat transfer equations that predict
this?
Or is this yet another baseless instance of Because Moran Says So?

I'd rather ask you about what documentation did you reference for your
"estimates" and where are your heat transfer equations that predict them?

Oooh, now you are a mechanical engineer too? Please support your claim for
a "more extensive and powerful the exhausting system" with the proper mass
transfer equations and/or authoritative sources that show this.

Indeed. And you, Moran, are up to yor neck in it.

Please, refresh my memomory as to all the names and writings of these
"story tellers" that made these claims you alledge. Or is this simply yet
another baseless case of Because Moran Says So?

No. You lie, distort, decieve, forge, fabricate, insult, libel, and
slander. Not to mention you have held (still hold?) some patently
anti-Semitic and absurd beliefs. This has been well documented and can be
seen at:

Let's be clear here. It's _your_ "story." Not what actually happened.

If "hot gases" are the topic then why make specious comments about the
(unspecified) ashes being "carried away in the smoke?" The remains of the
victims fell through the chamotte grid and into the ash channel of the
furnace where they were then removed. It's as simple as that. Is this too
hard for you to comprehend?

And _why_ would a "cooling system" be required for the _flues_? They were
underground and dissapated their heat (by conduction) to the surrounding
earth. A relatively inexhaustable heat sink, btw.

As I said: "for instance." The point was to illustrate that _increasing_
the length of the flue _created_ the required draft. Ergo, long flues
_solved_ the problem of insufficient draft. The chimney draft of Kremas II
and III (with their underground flues) was sufficient from the very
begining.

And on what basis have you determined that 500-700 C is an "extreme"
temprature for the flues? Please be specific in citing your sources. Or is
it simply Because Moran Says So?

I take it you mean by "aechological [sic] evidence" the flues? It is
rather self-evident, considering that the construction plans clearly
indicated they were underground, and that eywtiness testimony indicated
that they were underground, that they were indeed underground.
But if you claim that they were _not_ underground just exactly where _do_
you claim they were? Please be specific in citing your sources for such an
assumption.

The furnace hall was indeed hot. There were, after all, five rather large
furnaces operating there. But then, the furnace hall had a ventilation
system to remove the hot air....

Are you suggesting that the Germans _didn't_ develop the technology to
water cool the forced draught system of Krema I? Or that said _proven_

What "temperature issue?" Just Because Moran Says So doesn't mean there

Do you claim that the "flue system" of Kremas II and III _didn't_ work?
Please be specific in citing your sources that the furnace exhaust
ventilation systems for Kremas II and III didn't work. Or is it simply
Because Moran Says So?

Again, please provide the heat transfer calculations that show this. So
far the only heat being generated here, Moran, is from the smoke blowing

Indeed one can. Why don't you take a look at the plans and make such

Becuase nobody with at least half a brain denies that the furnaces in the
Kremas functioned and that the flues and smokestack existed and worked.
Obviously, that leaves you in the less-than-half-a-brain catagory. Hardly
suprising.

And? What relevence is this supposed to have? The fumigations described,
for instance, by NI-9912, pertain mainly to residential and other
dwellings that contained rooms, cabinets, closets, furniture, bedding,
etc.. This is a far cry from the bare concrete gas chambers of Kremas II
and III that were mechanically ventilated.
A couple of more relevent examples might be worth noting instead:
"Zyklon B had been introduced in Auschwitz in July 1940, when it was used
to fumigate the Polish barracks which, according to Ho"ss, 'teemed with
lice, fleas, and other bugs.' Later that year Schlachter created primitive
gas chambers in block 26, and some months thereafter in block 3, to
fumigate the prisoners' clothing; existing rooms were sealed and powerful
fans instaled. The Polish inmate Andrzej Rablin operated the facility in
block 3.
"We recieved the Zyklon-B from Kapo Mau, a German, who was the only
one to have the key to the store. Bezucha, another prisoner, and I
did the gassing. We put on our gas masks and went in the room naked
or wearing underpants. We did that because of the lice. There were
very many lice in the clothes. Sometimes, filling the chamber with
clothes took as much as two days. The lice fell on the floor and
formed a layer about 50 cm across under the clothes. When we went
to spread the gas, the lice jumped on us and the layers dissapeared
very fast.... After throwing the crystals we went out, closed the door
and stuck strips od paper over the gaps. Twenty four hours later, we
put our gas masks on again, the extractor fans were switched on and
[we went in and] we opened the windows. The ventilation continued
for two hours.
"Effective as the procedure was, the camp authorities found it
irritatingly inefficient. Too much Zyklon B was needed and it took too
long to exterminate the lice. The Degesch engineers addressed this problem
in an article they sent to the building office in July 1941. They
reccommended the installation of many small heatable gas chambers designed
to be used with the standard 200-gram tin of Zyklon B. Heating the space
to over thirty degrees centigrade helped the gas to evaporate from the
grains quickly and completely, and shortened the exposure time needed to
kill the lice to one hour. A sophisticated ventilation system not only
ensured the rapid penetration of all the garments wit prussic acid but
also permitted the clothes to be worn safely fifteen minutes after
fumigation.... (_Auschwitz: 1220 to the present_; pp. 219-221.)
In the crude delousing chamber of block 3 the ventilation time was two
hours. In the more sophisticated delousing chamber it was fifteen minutes.
In the large homicidal gas chambers of Kremas II and III it was twenty
minutes.

More relevant would be to question if Moran's head is attached to his neck....

Document 54; _Technique_, p.233.
The caption to the photo reads:
"Rear view of one of the 145 galvenized plates, perforated by hand, which
were set into and nailed to the wooden fresh air ducts in the upper part
of Leichenkeller 1 of Krematorien II and III, now kept in PMO <>
Block 25. Toxicological analyses were carried out in 1945 by the Cracow
Forensic Institute (7 Copernicus Street) on 4 complete plates and 2
damaged ventilation orifices found in the ruins of Kremtorium II. After
scraping the white substance that covered these objects back to the metal,
7.2 grammes of scrapings were collected and subjected to two qualitative
analyses, which established the presence of cyanide compounds. The report,
signed by Dr. Jan Z Robel, was written on 15th December 1945 and
transmitted to the Examining Judge, Jan Sehn."

Indeed it is, Mr. Allen. Perhaps you could have a little chat with
Erlich606 about this? He seems to be at odds with such opinions for some
reason. I _do_ hope you can straighten him out on this.... };->

Hmmm. Curiouser and curiouser.... I'd very _much_ like for you, Mr. Allen,
to explain- in detail -how you "determined" the the date from the shadow
angle. I'm sure it will be "interesting."

The roofing to _what_, Mr. Allen? The L.Kellers? Not quite. The bituminous
felt was sandwiched _in_ the concrete roof. The roof of the L.Kellers had
been _completed_ before the end of January. The photo in question was
probably taken between February 9 and 11.

Indeed. It shows Krema II nearly completed and Krema III under construction.

Indeed. Convergence of the evidence that three of the "little chimneys"
are completed and the fourth yet to be built.

Your recollection is faulty, Mr. Allen. The roof to the L.Kellers were of
concrete that _contained_ a layer of bituminous felt damp-proofing. This
can be seen in Document 97. The caption to the photo of the ruins of Krema
II's L.Keller 1 reads:
"South/north view of the ruins of the gas chamber (Leichenkeller 1) of
Krematorium II, taken from its southern end. Bottom left is one of the
four openings, its chimney dismantled, through which the Zyklon-B was
poured. In the foreground, the roof is resting on a pillar that withstood
the explosion. The black parts of the roof are the places where the
protective layer of concrete has cracked and exposed the l;ayer of
bituminous damp-proofing material." (_Technique_, p.260-261.)
Phyical proof, Mr. Allen, that the damp-proofing was _inside_ the concrete roof.
> Whatever the roofing material was, it is quite likely that it arrived in
> crates.
That is irrelevent, Mr. Allen, as the roofs were completed weeks before
the photo was taken.
> Remember that there were two layers of roof over the original slab.
That is not in accordance with the construction drawings, Mr. Allen. the
Huta drawing 109/13A, for instance, clearly shows that the roof consisted
of just two layer, which sandwiched the damp-proofing between them. (Ibid.
p.323.)

Then go find the records for these crates, Mr. Allen. Make sure they say
"3 x 4 crates crates of damp-proofing material." Umtil then you are simply
begging the question with idle speculation.

Indeed. You should know. You _try_ to enough.

More begging the question. Not to mention you speciously choose to ignore
multiple eyewitness testimonies describing the "little chimneys." Not to
mention the August, 1944 air photo that shows them (all four) on the roofs
of the L.Kellers.) Such flimsy strawmen you make, Mr. Allen!
> Quite simply, the boxes are the wrong number, the wrong place, the wrong
size, the wrong shape, probably the wrong time in the construction
schedule to be "little chimneys". Plus, there ain't no holes there!
Such baloney, Mr. Allen. Such a blind eye you turn to the plethora of
evidence to the contrary! Such intellectual dishonesty. Tsk tsk.

Why, to kill people, of course. Hundreds of thousands of people.

Mr. Allen, it seems, is rather reluctant to do so....

At one time, the Troll may have known this. He was surely told enough
times. However, considering his advanced state of dementia, it is quite
likely that he has a problem with his long-term memory. Like anything
longer than 30 seconds.
Sad indeed.

Why, thank you.

The 70 cm. dimension is an _inside_ dimension. I didn't have an accurate
cite for the width of the "little chimney." My guess, based on the
Bauleitung photo, is about 80-100 cm in width.
> Furthermore, he alleges about 17 inches of dirt on the roof of the

Really? Sure looks like they are covered with something to me....
Interesting that the roofs of the L.Kellers are the same shade as parts of
the surrounding Krema yard, yes? Dirt? Turf? Snow? It sure don't look like
_concrete_, as in a concrete floor, which can be seen in the December 21,
1944, ariel photo showing the L.Keller 2 partially dismantled and its roof
removed- exposing the concrete floor. No berm, no roof, and a concrete
floor that contrasts greatly with the surrounding Krema yard.
Unlike, for instance, the August 26, 1944, photo.

And whay _kind_ of shadow to you think is being cast? Please detail your

Nope. But then _your_ (and Mr. Allen's) "3 x 4 foot crates" have nothing
to do with reality. Certainly not with the L.Kellers.

And yet, in 1944, Zyklon B (without lachrymal) cost 5 Reichmarks per
kilogram (cf. _Confessions_, pp.93-94). That would mean that 20 Reichmarks
worth (4 kg) of Zyklon B would kill 1,000 people (cf. _Anatomy_, p.215_).
That's 0.02 Reichmarks (1992: $.08) per victim. Less than the cost of a bullet.
But what about the "slue of other expense considerations?" Like, for
instance, the cost of the Krema? Well, when Krema II was delivered to the
SS on March 31, 1943, it cost 554,500 Reichmarks (1992 $2,215,000) [Ibid.
p.233]. Considering that about 350,000 victims were killed in Krema II
(cf. _Technique_,p.183) that would mean that Krema II cost about 1.58
Reichmarks (1992: $6.33) per victim.
But lest we forget there is the _other_ consideration to remember: that of
how much _profit_ the Nazis made from their victims:
"The highest echelons of the SS once estimated the profit generated by the
average concentration camp prisoner. Based on an average prisoner life
expectancy of nine months, the profit totaled 1,431 RM (about $654) per
prisoner after deducting the costs of upkeep. The value of money,
valuable, clothing, personal belongings, and teeth of precious metals
reached 200 RM ($91) agter the costs of burning the body had been
deducted. Thus, according to calculation made by the Nazis themselves, the
total average profit from one prisoner, not including the value of the
victim's bones, totaled 1,631 RM ($745). (_Anatomy_, p.262.)

Indeed. And one had to extract and refine the oil (or coal) to make the
gas and to store it. Then transport it to the camp. Only then could one
"put a little gas in the engine, start it up, turn it off." How much did
all this cost, Moran? Was it 0.02 Reichmarks per victim?

0.02 Reichmarks per victim. Dr. Keren is correct that most of the HCN was
"wasted" is hardly "crucial." Zyklon B killed quite cost effectively.

problems that the Troll does, see your physician soonest...)

And why not? What is "complicated" about aerating a concrete room full of
HCN gas? (Or do you subscribe to the Troll's "fans don't work" insanity?)
Seems a rather trivial concern to me....

Yep. In spite of such snags, they were _all_ overcome. In spite of such
_trivial_ problems, the Nazis murderd over a million people in the gas
chambers at Auschwitz. At a profit.

It certainly appears so. I think the Troll is definetely menatally and
emotionally disturbed. I'm still trying to figure out which specific
psychoses he suffers from. So far I think there is a good argument to be
made for _both_ functional and organic psychoses.

No. Slander and libel should not be tolerated on the Internet anymore or
less than they are elsewhere- and should be remedied as they are
elsewhere. Even if the person espousing such is mentally and/or emotinally
unstable.

June 7 [1944]
The management of the crematoriums in Auschwitz II orders four sieves from
the DAW for sifting through human ashes. The sieves are to be equipped
with an iron frame. The openings of the sieve screens are to be 2/5 inch
in size.**
** A former prisoner and member of the Special Squad, Szlama Dragon,
states during the H"oss Trial that the ashes of the burned corpses are
taken from the pits near the crematoriums, ground fine in special mortars,
and taken to the Sola River (APMO, Dpr.-ZO/28a, p. 127).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This, obviously, means that the pulverized bone fragments, being sifted in
these seives, were 2/5 of an inch or _less_ in size.
The Troll has been told this many, many times but appears to be unable to
understand the concept of how sieves work due to being severely mentally
dysfunctional. (And an emottionally dysfunctional, and a socially
dysfunctional, and....)

Easy. Talk to the Troll exactly as you would a brick wall. Though, I must
admit, talking to a brick wall is a bit more pleasant....

Indeed. Just as they were when the Troll, in article
<4m736d$9i1@dfw-ixnews2.ix.netcom.com>, "revealed" the definition of
Leichenkeller to be:
"Keller = cellar. Leichen = Leichen."
Surely, it must be a terrible burden to have an "IQ" of "163"....

Given the above, it may be instructive to consider the (minimum) numbers,
according to Dr. Franciszek Piper of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum,
of Jews and Poles who were deported to Auschwitz (cf. _Anatomy_,
pp.68-70):
Jews..... 1,100,000 (205,000 registered)
Poles...... 150,000 (137,000 registered)
Then, of course, there is the fact that of the 1,100,000 (a minmum
estimate) killed at Auschwitz that 90%, or 990,000, were Jewish. (cf.
Ibid. p.62.)

And _which_ "German records" were these, exactly? Could these records have
been, perhaps, the Camp's Death Registry? The deaths of the victims from
"special actions," btw, weren't recorded in the Death Registry. Nor were
they _permanently_ recorded in any documentation at Auschwitz. All
information at Auschwitz regarding death tolls was destroyed after each
"special action" on the orders of Himmler. (cf. _Death Dealer_, pp.38-39.)

Indeed. However, Zyklon B was also used at Maidanek. (cf. _Nazi Mass

Or, like at Maidanek, _both_ C02 and Zyklon B were chosen as homicidal agents.

Really? Consider, for example, the first gassing in Krema II: 1,492 Jews
on March 13, 1943 (_Anatomy_, p.232). Assuming the _conservative_
Bauletung estimate of the incineration throughput for Krema II of 1,440
corpses for a 24-hour period (Ibid. p.165) and assuming several hours to
get all the victims undressed and into the gas chamber where they were
killed; incinerating the victims would have probably taken no more than
about 30 hours or so. Given that transports of victims _didn't_ arrive
every 24-hours all (or even most of) the time (cf. _Auschwitz
Chronicles_), and that _other_ Kremas were available when they did, it is
hard to see how your objections have any merit.
This becomes even more obvious when one considers that, according to
eyewitness testimony, in practice the incineration throughputs of the
Kremas exceeded the Bauletung's estimates by a significant degree (cf.
Ibid. pp.166,180). Assuming a (middle) incineration throughput 2,700
corspes per 24-hour period for Krema II (and II), as claimed by Ho"ss, it
becomes self-evident that in all but a few instances the victims of a
homicidal gassing in Krema II (and III) could be incinerated within 24
hours.

Not at all. You are trying to equate the specific details of the gassing
procedure to that of incineration throughput. Apple and oranges, I'm
afraid. The fact remains that, for instance, during much of 1943, Krema V
was _idled_ because of incineration _overcapacity_ and was brought back
on-line only in 1994 for Aktion Ho"ss (cf. _Anatomy_, pp.236-238). The
extermination of the Hungarian Jews (Aktion Ho"ss) was the only period,
aside from the intial gassings in bunkers 1 and 2 in early 1943 (when
Kremas II-V were being constructed and brought on-line), when the pace of
homicidal gassings overwhelmed the incineration capcity of the Kremas
(Krema I in early 1943) and it was required to augment them with
incineration pits.

Indeed. But that is _not_ what is at issue, now is it? What _is_ at issue
is simply whether or not Pressac's theory that Ho"ss and Nysizli were
mistaken, due to their subjective circumstances, in assuming that the
ventilation system was switched on 20 or 30 minutes _after_ the Zyklon B
was admninistered. Given that _other_ witnessess (Dr. Bendel for example)
claim that gas chambers (Krema V's) were ventilated as soon as _five_
minutes after the Zyklon B was administered. In addition, please consider
that both Ho"ss and Nyiszli also claimed death came in a matter of minutes
for the victims. One cannot simply refute the possibility (as you do) that
the ventilation system could have been turned on much sooner than Ho"ss
and Nyiszli report due simply to incineration throughput (or lack thereof)
and claim (with a straight face) that a credible argument has been made.
Care to try again? Perhaps this time you might stay focused on the details
of the gassing procedure and not go off on such tangents?

Ah yes, argumentum ad hominem. Obviously, Al, you can't rebut the fact
that chemical anlysis of the grates showed cyanide compounds, so you must
resort to character assasination.

Perhaps, but one _never_ knows for _sure_ when deniers are being "a tad
sarcastic" and when they are being, er, _deniers_. It's hard to tell as
they change their story like the direction of a mild early morning wind on
a Polish winter day.... };->

Actually, Sara, what is amazing (to me at least) is when, on those rare
few occaisons, the Troll's arguments rises _above_ the level of a five
year-old.

If I recall correctly, they are the numbers of the Jews and Poles deported
to Auschwitz and _registered_. (cf. _Anatomy_, pp.68-70.)

All _very_ interesting. I'd like to point out, however, that kieselguhr is
diatomaceous earth (i.e. silica) It seems odd that "roasted" (i.e
_heated_) kieselguhr (a.k.a. silica) does not form a sticky paste while
silica gel (a.k.a. silica) does. Also, silica gel, lest we forget, "after
being heated cannot easily be reconverted into a sol" and "such a gel is
in the form of hard granules, chemically and physically almost inert but
highly hygrospcopic...." (_The Penguin Dictionary of Chemistry_, p.358.)
Hmmm, this sounds like "roasted kieselguhr in kernel form...." Except for
the color.
Furthermore, it also seems odd that, in NI-9912, diagreiss was attributed
to be "a reddish brown granular mass" while Erco was "small blue cubes."
Silica, whether diatomaceous earth or silica gel (non-indicating), is
generally whitish to grayish in color. What could have been added to
diagreiss to give it a "reddish brown" color? What could have been added
to Erco to give it its blue color?
Interestingly, cobalt chloride can be "obtained as red crystals of
CoCl2*6H2O from aqueous solution, CoCl2,H2O and CoCl2 are blue...." (Ibid.
p.103.) And what would this have to do with silica gel (or possibly
diagreiss)? "Cobalt(II) compounds are often incorporated in the [silica]
gel. When the gel has absorbed a fair amount of moisture it will turn pink
but will revert to blue on heating." (Ibid. p.358.)
I wonder if the incorporation of CoCl2*6H2O, a cobalt(II) compound, would
cause diagreiss to appear "reddish brown," while adding CoCl2, also a a
cobalt(II) compound, to silica gel would cause it to look blue?
Perhaps our chemists would care to comment?

More importantly, is _your_ translation correct? Given that some of your
past dalliances with properly quoting text left something to be deisred,
suffice it to say I am somewhat wary. A second, more trusted, opinion is
definetely in order here....
Perhaps our German linguists would care to comment?

So does silica gel. Either indicating or non-indicating.

Indeed. You have shown yourself inclined to think many things. Quite a few
of those things you "think" without much thought, apparantly. Not to
mention you keep changing what you "think" as the situation suits you. You
also tend to leave your "thoughts" twisting in the wind. A stellar
argument, IMHO, for your penchant to play (revel in?) the role of a denier
bellwether....

Faulty reasoning on your part, actually. Simply because _you_ haven't seen
a communal shower with large numbers of showerheads you dismiss Pressac's
argument? Or simply because _you_ rationalize that 14 shower heads in a
"sauna" measuring 30m x 7m x 2.4m "would be sufficient" you dismiss
Pressac's argument?
But what did the _Nazis_ think "would be [a] sufficient" number of
showerheads in a communal shower at Auschwitz? I would argue (as does Mr.
McCarthy) that the answer can be found by examining the construction
drawings and photos of the Zentral Sauna (and other similar facilities) at
Auschwitz. In the Bauleitung drawing 1841 (an initial drawing which was
unrealized) one can see that the Brauseraum (shower room) contained 54
showerheads in a room measuring approximately 10m x 8m. (_Technique_,
p.68.) Clearly, early on the _Nazis_ thought that a communal shower needed
more showerheads than _you_ do.
Considering that Bauleitung drawing 1841 was never realized, it would be
best to reference a drawing that _was_ realized to forstall the
inevitable denier objections. I then would bring to your attention
Bauleitung drawing 3084 (Ibid. p.76.). The shower room of this drawing, by
my count, shows 50 showerheads in the shower room, which by my
measurement, is about 11m x 8m. In addition, Photo 25 (Ibid. p.80), shows
(at least) 30 of these 50 showerheads.
Yet L.Keller 1, which measured 30m x 7m, having nearly 2.4 times the area
as the shower room in the Zentral Sauna, contained less than 1/3 the
number of (faux) showerheads. Put it another way, the shower room in the
Zentral Sauna had one showerhead per 1.76 sq m of floorspace . K.Keller 1,
other the otherhand, had one (faux) showerhead per 15 sq. m of floorspace.
And you see nothing _wrong_ with this picture? (Besides the fact that the
showerheads in L.Keller 1 were _non-functional_.) Amazing. Must by that
blind eye of your's acting up again....

Hardly a revelation. It is known from eyewitness testimonies that the gas
chambers were labeled with signs that said, in essense, "Zum Baden und
Desinfektion" (to bath and disinfection), "Bath and disinfecting Room," or
"To disinfection." (cf. Tauber, Ibid. p.483; Nyiszli, _Auschwitz_, p.49;
Broad, _KL Auschwitz_, p.177.) In addition, the victims were _also_ told
that they were going to be bathed and deloused. (cf. Ho"ss, _Death
Dealer_, p.43; Broad, _KL Aushwitz_, p.175.)

Not to my knowledge. The delousing chambers were strictly for the
articles of clothing and other personal effects taken from the prisoners
and victims. The series of Bauleitung drawings 801, 1293, 1715, and 2540,
for the delousing installations (buildings BW5a and BW5b) loacated in the
Womens' Camp clearly delineates between the delousing facilities and the
shower room: "Gaskammer" vs, "Wasch und Brauseraum" or "Kammer" vs.
"Brauseraum". (cf. _Technique_, pp.55-58.)
BTW, the shower room (Bauleitung drawing 2540) also clearly shows that it
too had 50 showerheads in the shower room which measured about 14m x 9m.
(Ibid. p.58.)

Yes. Photos 22, 23, and 24 (_Technique_, p.79) show a shallow concrete
trough (located in the Zentral Sauna) that held a solution of water and
prussic acid and was used to disinfest the prisoners. The caption to the
photos reads:
"Three views of the shallow bath situated at the entrance to the showers,
filled with water and hydrocyanic acid in which the prisoners' body hair
was disinfested just before the shower." (Ibid.)
In addition, the following excerpt, an adaptation of a letter from a
former Czech prisoner to the head of the PMO, also helps clarify the
procedure:
"Before the shower and during the disinfestation, the prisoners underwent
a disinfesting treatment. Just inside the entrance door to the showers [in
the Zentral Sauna] there was a small concrete bath full of a mixture of
water and hydrocyanic acid, obtained by pouring Zyklon-B crystals in the
water. The prisoners arriving for his shower, naked and with his head
shaved, stepped into this basin and another stationed alongside the basin,
his hand protected by a glove, passed the mixture over his head, under the
arms and over the pubic hair." (Ibid.)
Needless to say, no such troughs appear on the drawings for the Kremas and
no eyetwitness testimony, to my knowledge, mentions such a trough in the
Kremas.

Just because _you_ never saw a wire mesh introduction column doesn't mean
they never existed! (Such a _subjective_ world view you have! Tsk tsk.)
The fact is that they were removed from the L.Keller when the Kremas II
and II were dismantled. Along with, for instance the gas-tight door to
L.Kller 1 and the benches that were in L.Keller 2. (A gas-tight door- with
a heavy wire grid covering the peephole -and benches were revovered in the
Auschwizt Bauhof in 1945. [cf. Ibid. p.486.)
>...and apparently neither has anyone else.
David Ole`re did. He even drew the wire mesh introduction column in the
background of a sketch he made in 1946 that depicted the "dentists"
extracting the gold teeth from the bodies of the victims who were killed
in the gas chambers. (Ibid. Document 31, p.493.)
Michal Kula did. One can see a drawing of the introduction column based on
his June 11, 1945, deposition that looks like the one in Ole`re's sketch.
(cf. Ibid. 487.)
Henryk Tauber did. He described the wire mesh introduction columns in his
deposition taken at the Ho"ss Trial. It sounds like the one described in
the drawing made from Kula' deposition. (cf. Ibid. pp.483-484.)
Nyiszli did. His description is similar to Tauber's. (cf. Nyiszli,
_Auschwitz_, p.50.)
And you claim "apparently" nobody else saw the wire mesh Zyklon B
introduction columns? Telling whoppers, are we now? Tsk tsk. You should
_know_ better- especially as _I've_ informed _you_ about Tauber, Nyiszli,
and Kula(?) before.

Your appeals to incredulity (not to mention your ersatz "authority") are
wearing thin. Obviously, you have no substantial rebuttal and must instead
wave your hands and say it cannot be Because! Ehrlich606! Says! So!
Talk about lowest common (denier) denominators!

The elimination of the corspe chutes and the addition of a stairway
leading to the basement antechamber between L.Kellers 1 and 2. Also the
addition of the western access stairway to L.Keller 2.

The very one. The one which you (and Mr. Allen) keep flip-flopping over in
your claims as to what the "little chimneys" are. The ones you are purely
_speculating_ as to what the "little chimneys" are while dogmatically
ignoring the plentitude of evidence for their being part of the Zyklon B
introduction system for L.Keller 1.

Indeed. At least the Troll got _that_ part right. Of course, the Troll
immediately flubbed it by insisting that this meant that the bone
fragments sifted were _larger_ than 1 cm. Obviously, the Troll is
spatially challanged and is confused as to how how sieves operate and the
purpose they are were used by the Nazis to sift the bone fragments.
First the human remains were pulverized. Then they were placed into the
sieves and sifted. This meant that the bone fragments _smaller_ than 1 cm
(most _much_ smaller due to being finely pulverized) fell through the
sieve. These were then disposed of. The remaining bone fragments were then
again mixed with human remains and (re-)pulverized. This, in essence,
would generally preclude bone fragments that were sifted and then disposed
of from being larger than 1 cm in size.
Why has this been too hard for the Troll to comprehend? Perhaps it is due
to his racist obsessions and need to diddle himself?
