Even Green’s claim about a concentration of 1,810 ppm reached after five minutes is utterly insufficient, because for a person in a remote corner, this amounts only to an exposure to an average concentration of some 900 ppm for four minutes. Yet according to the above table, an average successful execution within five minutes requires almost 13,500 ppm to have been reached after thatOch här:
time, more than 7 times the amount of Zyklon B as claimed by Green.
A nominal maximum execution time (until respiratory arrest) of five minutes also includes a minute during which the gas spreads out and reaches even the remote corners of the chamber. For instance, in case of an execution time of five minutes, we are actually really dealing with a net four minutes during which the gas acts on those farthest away from the source.
Only the latter results in an amount of Zyklon B that is within what Rudolf Höss has claimed and what mainstream scholars assume to be correct. Execution times of 5 minutes, as claimed by the “credible” witnesses mentioned above, would require exorbitant amounts of Zyklon B: 63.8 kg in the above example, or some 64 cans. If that were used for 1,000 gassing operations, the total required would amount to about twice the amount of Zyklon B delivered to the camp in the first place.
Under these circumstances, it becomes quite obvious that execution times of five minutes or even less are simply inconceivable. For instance, to achieve two minutes, the amount of Zyklon B would have to be increased to more than half a metric ton, while ignoring that Haber’s Rule would not apply anymore in that range, and also that such huge amounts of Zyklon B located in a few spots would result in a reduced evaporation rate due to condensation effects, among other things. We won’t discuss in detail claims about execution times like “instantly” or “suddenly” and so on, as such lightning-speed killings would require the use of infinite amounts of Zyklon B. We’re here clearly in the range of the ludicrous.
The duration of the gassing, five to seven minutes, is of an order of magnitude van Pelt railed against in his attack on the Leuchter Report, for which he assumed an agony of the victims lasting “up to 30 minutes.” This allows him to prop up his thesis that Zyklon-B “concentrations at Auschwitz could have been as low as 100 ppm,” which a duration of five to seven minutes obviously would not support.
When dealing with HCN vapors, the lethal concentration in the air also depends on the breathing intensity, hence the values can vary. They are generally given as follows:
“An HCN gas concentration of 270 ppm in the air is immediately lethal. Concentrations of approx. 180 ppm cause death after an exposure time of 10 minutes; concentrations of 135 ppm cause death after 30 minutes.”
A concentration of 270 ppm corresponds to 0.324 g/m³ or 0.324 mg/liter. Other specialized texts confirm these values. Van Pelt’s statement regarding “23.2 million people” thus has no scientific basis. At the Tesch Trial, Broad declared that “two of the bigger tins were needed or were sufficient to gas a large gassing room” and that the alleged gas chambers of Crematoria II and III (the “large” ones) took in 3,000-4,000 people; thus, 1 kg of Zyklon B would have been sufficient for 1,500-2,000 and not 1,000 people. Van Pelt’s manipulation was obviously intended to produce a non-existent “convergence” between Broad and Gerstein. How reliable such a declaration is, can be seen from Broad’s following reply:
“Q. As a rough estimate what was the total number of people exterminated by gas while you were at Auschwitz and Berkenau [sic]?
A. I would think 2½ millions to 3 millions.”
One thousand grams of HCN in a room of 64 m³ would produce a concentration of (1,000÷64=) 15.6 g/m³. If one were indeed able to squeeze 1,000 persons into this room thanks to the legendary “German technique,” the volume occupied by their bodies would be 60 m,³ and in the remaining 4 m³ of air space we would have a theoretical concentration of (1,000÷4=) 250 g/m³, whereas van Pelt assumes an actual concentration of 0.36 or 0.12 grams of HCN per m³! The 64 m³ mentioned above stem from the fact that Bendel claimed that the alleged gas chambers of Crematoria II and III measured 10×4×1.60 meters – this gives us a good yardstick by which to measure his trustworthiness.
Let us now look at Gerstein. He wrote that “freight-cars with hydrogen cyanide were needed all the time” at Auschwitz and Oranienburg, yet not for homicidal aims, but “for the purpose of disinfection.” He added that at “Auschwitz millions of children alone were killed by means of a wad [soaked with] hydrogen cyanide held under their noses” and that the director of Degesch had actually told him “he had supplied hydrogen cyanide in vials for the killing of people.” Gerstein in actual fact knew nothing
about homicidal gassings with Zyklon B, because his estimate (8,500 kg of Zyklon B would have been enough to kill eight million people) has no technical foundation.
Hence, van Pelt’s alleged “convergences” work only after proper manipulation of spurious sources, a manipulation which includes the elimination of “discordant” sources, such as Höss’s declarations to the effect that in Crematoria II and III at least 7 kg of Zyklon B were used to kill 1,500 people, i.e. – using van Pelt’s method – 1 kg for 214 persons.
But there is another, more striking disagreement. Van Pelt claims, as we have seen in the preceding chapter, that the effective concentration employed in the alleged gas chambers was 300 or even 100 ppm. For a hypothetical gassing operation involving 1,500 people, 147 or even 49 grams of HCN would have been sufficient.
Taking van Pelt’s reasoning somewhat further, the theoretical 1,660 kg of Zyklon B would have been enough to kill about 16,939,000 or 50,816,000 persons! Van Pelt accepts Bendel’s assertion (2 kg of Zyklon B for 2,000 persons) – but turning it around we see that we obtain a concentration of 5.27 g/m³ or 4,391 ppm for Leichenkeller 1 of the Crematoria II/III, which is 14 to 43 times higher than the one van Pelt himself takes to be effective.
Quarantine in the camp due to infectious diseases (typhus, malaria, diarrhea).Enligt den officiella statistiken från Auschwitz så avled upp till 500 fångar per dag under denna tidsperiod, och Kremers beskrivning av lägret som "Dantes inferno" och ett "helvete" var onekligen korrekta. Att dessa epitet avsåg sjukdomsdöden i lägret blir uppenbart av brevet från oktober 1942 där han konstaterar att:
Though I have no definite information yet, nonetheless I expect that I can be in Münster again before December 1 and so finally will have turned my back on this Auschwitz hell, where in addition to typhus, etc., typhoid fever is now mightily making itself felt.Vad gäller badhusanläggningarna i Auschwitz och dess relation till krematorierna så vet vi att krematorierna hade dusch- och badrum, bl.a. pga. det faktum att t.ex. bårhusen och obduktionsrummen behövde avlusas efter att tyfusdöda fångar placerats däri, och efter att personalen hanterat lik från avlidna fångar. Det faktum att inget dokument nämner badhus och krematorier i ett "kriminellt" kontext, utan uteslutande i helt banala och oskyldiga kontext, bevisar att det aldrig fanns någon "ondskefull" relation mellan de två typerna av faciliteter. Däremot vet vi ju att man vid några tillfällen planerade att utnyttja andra lokaler för avlusningar, bl.a. när hela lägerstyrkan och alla lokaler beordrades att avlusas för att stoppa sjukdomsspridningen.
The intention is not to evacuate Jews over the age of 65 but to send them to an old people’s ghetto; Theresienstadt has been earmarked for this purpose.Detta var också ett av skälen till att äldre judar i Berlin aldrig evakuerades. Så sent som 1944 var den gamla synagogen i huvudstaden fortfarande i användning av judar. Sen har vi ju de obekväma faktum att man aktivt deporterade judar från Auschwitz till bl.a. sjuklägret Bergen-Belsen, istället för att "utrota dem".
