ag gör en del anteckningar mest för min egen skull när jag läser facklitteratur, det kan se ut ungefär så här - bara i dessa få anteckningar finns åtskilliga följdfrågor begravda, exempelvis hur den absurda och helt påhittade historien om hur SS i Auschwitz måste
lura sig till åtskilliga ton Zyklon B från SS-byråkraterna i Berlin genom att
låtsas som om inga problem med tyfusepidemi råder, men att de ska "gasa judar för hela slanten", och denna (av Pressac hopfabulerade) "bluff"
lyckas därför att WVHA-byråkraterna visserligen "kände till" att insektsbekämpningsmedlet användes för "att gasa judar" men inte vilka kvantiteter som krävdes, alltså hur den historien går att förena med den lika lite historiskt dokumenterade dialogen mellan Höss och Himmler i Berlin (sommaren 1941 eller sommaren 1942?

), där Höss påstår att han förbjöds säga något om "Förintelsen" till och med till sin överordnade Glücks, WVHA-inspektören för koncentrationslägren:
Anatomy of the Auschwitz Death Camp, Raul Hilberg, “Auschwitz and the Final Solution”, s.81-92:
s.83: “Höss related that
in the summer of 1941 he was summoned to Berlin by Heinrich Himmler himself. In a few spare words Himmler told him of Hitler’s decision to annihilate the Jews.---
Himmler also stated why Höss was going to e in charge. At first, he said, a higher-ranking SS leader, presumably outside te concentration camp hierarchy, originally was to have been given the assignment. This possibility, he explained, was
discarded to avoid a jurisdictional dispute within the SS.

Höss would therefore have to carry out the mission.---
Underscoring the gravity of the conversation,
Himmler admonished Höss to observe strict secrecy. Höss was not to mention anything even to his immediate superior, the inspector of concentration camps, Richard Glücks.”

Pressac-van Pelt, ”The Machinery of Mass Murder at Auschwitz”,183-245:
s.212: Bischoffs uppskattning av Birkenaus krematoriekapacitet, med ledning av hur krematorierna i Buchenwald fungerade: 800 kroppar/dygn
s.213: ”---Höss retrospectively confused 1941 with 1942.”
“The mass murders were to begin on July 1. That created a problem: the crematorium existed only in plan. Since May 17, a single detachment of 100 prisoners had been digging foundations, but that was all.”
Bunkerfiktioner: “---bunker 1 could not be used for continuous gassing, since it had no mechanical ventilation to speedily extract the gas.---Not far from bunker 1 was another farmhouse, whitewashed and, with a surface of 105 sq m, slightly larger than the “little red house”. Höss decided to transform it into a gas chamber following the pattern of bunker 1.
Bischoff was called in to advice on the ventilation. [källa saknas förstås]
G.Peters/E.Wuestinger: “Entlausung mit Zyklon-Blausäure in Kreislauf-Begasungskamern”, Zeitschrift für hygienische Zoologie und Schädlingsbekämpfung, 10-11, 1940.
„Peters article had already served as a source of inspiration when, in December 1941, Dejaco had proposed to install in the future reception building at Auschwitz a delousing system with 19 similar gas chambers (set up in two rows). Degesch had proposed that the delousing chambers ought to be 50 cu m each.”
s.214:
“Nature competed with man to create mass death in Auschwitz.

SS doctors were confronted in May with a massive outbreak of typhoid fever as the result of untreated water. By the end of June, SS officers and employees of the camps’ 17 civilian firms were forbidden to drink the camp’s water. Mineral water was provided free. To make matters worse, typhus broke out.
The camp doctors were surprised. They thought that prophylactic measures (quarantinig, shearing of hair) and hygiene (local disinfection of hair, showers) applied to the prisoners upon arrival would prevent the introduction of the plague into the camp by eradicating the agent of the disease, lice.---
The death rate of the prisoners soared. From May to December 1940, an estimated 220 died each month. From January to July 1941, this number tripled. From August to December, 1941, it reached 1.000; by July 1942, it had passed 4.000.”
“On July 4, the first selection of prisoners was applied to a convoy of Slovakian Jews, and those judged unfit for work were immediately gassed. Within a week this procedure had become routine.” [källa?]
s.215: Höss “memoarer” är ingen autentisk historisk källa;
”Höss had succeeded in hiding from Himmler the deplorable unsanitary conditions in the camp [hur då?, kan man fråga sig, samtidigt som dödsstatistiken i lägret måste ha varit tillgänglig för SS-ledaren?], and the typhus epidemic continued its ravages. Within a week after Himmler’s departure, the situation became catastrophic. On July 23, the camp was placed under total quarantine. Everything had to be deloused immediately: personal effects, barracks, buildings, and work-shops. Tons of Zyklon B were needed to save the camp.The only way to get large quantities rapidly was through the WVHA’s intervention. Not willing to admit that they had fooled Himmler, the Auschwitz SS explained that the epidemic had broken out only after his departure. On July 22, Berlin authorized a truck to fetch two-and-a-half tons of the product. A week later, a second truck was sent on its way. Yet even that did not suffice.
