[WW2] - Auschwitz

"---The stated cremation capacity corresponds to a time span of twenty-four hours. Therefore each muffle furnace would have to consume ninety-six cadavers per day, or, put another way, one cadaver every fifteen minutes. This is an absurd figure, as a majority of the Revisionist authors have made clear. Stäglich states that "the incineration of a body in an ultramodern crematory furnace takes an hour and a half to two hours." [19] For Italian researcher C. Mattogno, who cites as reference the Enciclopedia Italiana, "cremation of a cadaver lasts 60-75 minutes, with a consumption of about 300 kgs. of wood in gasoline furnaces; an hour and a half to two hours, with a consumption of 100-150 kgs. of bundles of kindling in direct combustion furnaces." [20] For his part, Professor Faurisson states that in "the present-day crematorium of Charlottenburg-Spandau, each furnace burns no more than 15 to 17 cadavers in 24 hours." [21] L.A. Rollins culls the following information published by the Los Angeles Times: "In the cremation process, a corpse is put into a furnace and subjected to a temperature of nearly 2,000 degrees for a period of two or three hours." [22] The shortest incineration period we have been able to find is from "50 to 80 minutes." [23]---

Den judiska hydran är och förblir nationalsocialisterna huvudfiende. Det totala kriget som Führern talade om det var ju kriget mot judarna - totalt krig mot den pest som hotar att förgöra allt mänskligt. Om du inte förstår det, lilla vän, förstår du inte vad national-socialism är.
...
Att röka, gasa och bränna ut den pesthärd de judiska ghettona utgjorde var krigets huvudsakliga mål, den ariska rasens och Führerns historiska uppgift det begriper du nog, eller hur?

Prüfer’s memo would therefore mark an attempt to modify a contract that had already been signed and was in the process of having its provisions realized . Robert Van Pelt feels that Prüfer’s data should be treated as nothing more than a “symptom of caution on the part of the contractor.”

The two large crematories were built in the winter of 1942-43 and brought into service in*the spring of 1943. Each had five ovens with three doors per oven and could cremate about two thousand bodies in less than twenty-four hours. Technical difficulties made it impossible to increase the capacity. Attempts to do this caused severe damage to the installations and on several occasions they were unable to function. Crematories [2 and 3] both had underground undressing rooms and underground gas chambers in which the air could be completely ventilated. The bodies were taken to the ovens on the floor above by an elevator. The [two] gas chambers could hold three thousand people, but this number was never achieved,since the individual transports were never that large.

The two smaller crematories [4 and 5] were capable of burning about 1,500 bodies in twenty-four hours, according to the calculations made by the construction company called Topf of Erfurt. Because of the wartime shortage of materials,the builders were forced to economize during the construction of crematories [4 and 5]. They were built above ground and the ovens were not as solidly constructed.

Depending on the size of the bodies, up to three corpses could be put in through one oven door at the same time. The time required for cremation also depended on the number of bodies in each retort, but on average it took twenty minutes. As previously stated, Crematories 2 and 3 could cremate two thousand bodies in twenty-four hours, but a higher number was not possible without causing damage to the installations. Crematories 4 and 5 should have been able to cremate 1,500 bodies in twenty-four hours, but as far as I know this figure was never reached.

Eller byggde nazisterna 2 gaskammare för många? Och i så fall - varför skulle de göra det, om de nu var så fanatiskt bundna vid att utrota varenda judisk människa på den europeiska kontinenten?
