[WW2] - Auschwitz

During the foot and mouth it was taking two weeks to cremate 200/250 carcases. And even then, on many occasions half burnt carcases had to be re-burnt up to three times!

In 1944, when the four Birkenau Krematoria could no longer keep pace with the rate of destruction, some 20,000 bodies a day were burned in this, and other pits. They were approximately 100 m. long.

Det systematiska i utrotningen, byrokratin, det industriella, det spelade i Frankfurt en liten roll jämfört med alla incidenter av grymhet. För det var sådant de åtalade åkte på livstid för.

"---Some people unfamiliar with the details of the holocaust story claim that there are "innumerable gas chamber witnesses" and that not all of them can possibly have lied. This is an error. When studying the holocaust literature, we quickly discover that only a handful of witnesses are quoted in these books. Vrba is one of them, and the other ones are no better. A key witness is yet another Slovak Jew, Filip Mueller, whom Raul Hilberg quotes as a source no less than twenty times in his standard work The Destruction of the European Jews. In his nauseating best-seller (Sonderbehandlung, Verlag Steinhausen, Frankfurt a.M. 1979), Mueller described how he ate cake in a cyanide-saturated gas chamber (he would have died immediately), and how the special commando he belonged to used the boiling fat flowing down from the burning bodies in the "cremation pits" as additional fuel: the fat was collected by him and his fellow workers and poured over the bodies again to accelerate combustion! (p. 24/25; p. 207 ff)!---"

"---79. Are accounts of cremation pits at Auschwitz-Birkenau credible?

No. Various accounts from former prisoners who spent time detained at Birkenau and staff who worked there include claims that a large number of corpses was burned in open pits up to three meters deep because the crematories there, despite a fabulous cremation capacity of 10,000 bodies per day, were not fast enough to dispose of all of the gas chamber victims.
There are several problems with this allegation. Birkenau was built in a marsh. The camp was crisscrossed with drainage ditches to help deal with the high water table. Any pit dug into the ground there would fill with water making the burning of bodies impossible. Even in a case where striking water is not a problem, burning anything in a deep pit is difficult since the fire consumes all of the oxygen available for combustion and puts itself out. There is no point in digging a pit for cremating bodies and is entirely counterproductive to the effort. Open air cremation is done on pyres, not in pits.
After Dresden was bombed, the Germans needed to dispose of a large number of bodies in a small amount of time. In this case, besides digging mass graves, bodies were burned on pyres, not in pits. If burning bodies in pits was such an effective means for their disposal, pits would have been dug in this case as well. They were not despite the fact pre-dug bomb craters in Dresden would have suited this requirement. This fact alone indicates the story of large scale pit cremation is pure whimsy.---"

"---Wie erging es Beschuldigten, die sich beharrlich weigerten, um ihrer Freiheit willen ein Geständnis abzulegen, das nicht der Wahrheit entsprach? Der Fall des letzten Kommandanten von Auschwitz, Richard Baer, gibt hierzu einigen Aufschluß: Richard Baer lebte nach dem Krieg mit einer neuen Identität in Dassendorf bei Hamburg, und zwar als Waldarbeiter unter dem Namen Karl Neumann. Er wurde erst 1960 von den Briten verhaftet.

Baer wurde mit allergrößter Wahrscheinlichkeit nicht gefoltert und er hatte vermutlich kaum Anlaß, sich um seine Angehörigen zu sorgen. Im Gegensatz zu seinem Vorgänger, Rudolf Höß, sah Baer also kaum eine Veran*lassung, ein Geständnis zu unterschreiben, das nicht der Wahrheit entsprach.

Den Initiatoren der medienwirksam inszenierten Auschwitz-Prozesse in Frankfurt am Main dürfte es aber alles andere als gleichgültig gewesen sein, wie sich der Hauptangeklagte in diesem wichtigen Prozeß äußern würde. Wenn gerade er, der letzte noch lebende Kommandant von Auschwitz, der Gas*kammer-These entschieden widersprach, oder sie gar ad absurdum zu führen drohte, bestand die ernste Gefahr, daß kurz nach dem Debakel von Dachau die These von der geplanten, industriell ange*legten physischen Vernichtung der Juden Europas vollständig in sich zusammenfallen würde.

Doch so weit kam es nicht: Richard Baer, der sich bis dahin bester Gesundheit erfreute, starb unter un*geklärten Umständen in Untersuchungshaft, und zwar noch vor Prozeßbeginn. Das gerichtsmedi*zini*sche Institut der Universität Frankfurt untersuchte den Leichnam und schloß im Autopsiebericht nicht aus, daß Baer an einem „geruchsfreien und nicht korrosiven Gift“ starb. Doch bevor die Todes*ursache dieses außerordentlich wichtigen Angeklagten und Zeitzeugen eindeutig festgestellt werden konnte, ordnete Gene*ralstaats*anwalt Fritz Bauer (ein nach dem Krieg aus der Emigration zurück*gekehrter Zionist) die Verbren*nung des Leichnams an[59]. Diese mysteriö*sen Vorgänge fanden in der Öffent*lichkeit kaum Beachtung und wurden sogar bewußt herun*terge*spielt. Heute sucht man in vielen Nachschlagewerken zum Dritten Reich den Namen Richard Baer vergebens - der „geständige” Rudolf Höß hingegen ist überall zu finden.---"

"---Now here was a man in tip top physical shape. He worked outdoors for most of his life, was still young, or at least YOUNGER, than many of his co-accused, and also, was more knowledgeable about camp policies than most of them all put together. Yet, Baer mysteriously "died" in his cell just weeks before the trial was scheduled to commence. He also adamantly refused to concede that homical gas chambers existed in his or any other camp. And it should be made known that Baer's mysterious death under these circumstances has been repeated over and over again in similar cases, such as that of Jaeger and many, many, others accused of trumped up charges. It cannot be ruled out that the long, corroded fingers of the Avengers may have had a role in silencing the former commandant forever, just as they had silenced so many other key players in the so-called "Final Solution."
The mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of Auschwitz's last commandant have not gone unnoticed by independent researchers. For instance, in his book, "The Auschwitz Myth," former German Judge Wilhelm Staeglich writes:
Particularly noteworthy is the fate of the most prominent of the defendants, Richard Baer, the last commandant of Auschwitz. He did not live to see the beginning of the trial. In December of 1960, Baer was arrested in the vicinity of Hamburg, where he was employed as a lumberjack. He died in June of 1963 under mysterious circumstance while being held in pre-trial custody, According to various sources, which, in turn, rely on reports that appeared in the French press, Baer adamantly refused to confirm the existence of "gas chambers" at the camp he once administered. Although it has been alleged that he was eliminated by poisoning on account of this refusal, the cause of his death has never been established. His wife claimed that he was in excellent health. While Langbein merely states that an autopsy revealed that he died of "natural causes," Naumann specifies a "circulatory ailment" as the cause of death. Of course a circulatory ailment is only a symptom of pre-existing disease that has causes of its own. It is quite possible, however, that the physical condition of this strong and healthy outdoor laborer deteriorated as a result of his treatment in prison. That would be damning enough to those suspicious of the whole affair when one reads the report on the autopsy performed at the Frankfurt-Main University School of Medicine: "The ingestion of an odorless, non-corrosive poison...cannot be ruled out." Nevertheless, there was no further probe into the cause of Baer's death, and chief Public Prosecutor Bauer (Jewish - JB) ordered his body cremated.---"

"---Ma, fino all'ultimo, Baer si è mantenuto sulla sua posizione. e mai si riusci a farlo desistere. Non si riuscì mai inoltre a opporgli la minima prova. Ciò era grave: il Procuratore generale Bauer era dunque costretto ad ammettere che"i 434.351 ebrei ungheresi, deportati ad Auschwitz con 147 treni, dal 16 maggio all'8 luglio 1944" di cui si parla nel protocollo 112 del Processo di Gerusalemme, non vi erano mai stati sterminati con il gas? Da questa accusa egli non desistette mai, lui no, ma... Ma. preannunziato per l'autunno del 1961, il processo fu una prima volta rimandato alla primavera del 1962, una seconda all'autunno del 1962, una terza alla primavera del 1963, e una quarta alla primavera del 1964. All'improvviso il 17 giugno 1963, il Procuratore generale Bauer annunciò che, sebbene nulla l'avesse lasciato prevedere (alcuni giorni prima sua moglie, che gli aveva fatto visita nella prigione, l'aveva trovato pieno di salute e di speranza di essere molto presto prosciolto per non-luogo a procedere) l'ex-Obersturmbannführer Richard Baer aveva preso la decisione di morire di uno scompenso cardiaco: meno di una settimana dopo, si apprendeva dalla medesima fonte che il processo d'Auschwitz.---"

"---Richard Baer hatte sich geweigert, die Existenz von "Gaskammern" für Menschen zu bestätigen. Am Abend vor seiner Vorführung im Frankfurter Auschwitz-Prozeß lag der zuvor kerngesunde Waldarbeiter, der mit seinem Freispruch rechnete, tot in der Zelle. Der Obduktionsbefund des "Instituts für Gerichtliche Medizin" der Universität Frankfurt/M. enthielt die höchst verdächtige Formulierung, daß die "Einnahme eines nicht riechenden und nicht ätzenden Giftes ... nicht ausgeschlossen werden konnte."

Die idealistische Gutwilligkeit hat ihre Grenzen. Deshalb erklären wir hier ohne Zögern: Baer wurde von "interessierter Seite" in seiner Zelle ermordet, weil er am nächsten Tag die "Gas-Legende" zum Platzen gebracht hätte! Der Mord-Verdacht erhärtet sich dadurch, daß Baers Verneinung der Gaskammern aus dem Ermittlungsverfahren nicht in der Hauptverhandlung verlesen wurde. Staatsanwalt Bauer ließ den Leichnam sehr schnell einäschern. Die Nachricht von Baers Tod wurde damals bezeichnenderweise in der Öffentlichkeit unterdrückt. (vgl. "Mythos", a.a.O., S. 307-309) (vgl. auch Thies Christophersen, "Die Auschwitz-Lüge", Kritik-Verlag, Mohrkirch, 1978, S. 23).---"

"---Here is a excerpt from the Introduction to The Leuchter Report by David Irving:

Quote:

Nobody likes to be swindled, still less where considerable sums of money are involved. (Since 1949 the State of Israel has received over 90 billion Deutschmarks in voluntary reparations from West Germany, essentially in atonement for the "gas chambers of Auschwitz".) And this myth will not die easily: Too many hundreds of millions of honest, intelligent people have been duped by the well-financed and brilliantly successful postwar publicity campaign which followed on from the original ingenious plan of the British Psychological Warfare Executive (PWE,) in 1942 to spread to the world the propaganda story that the Germans were using "gas chambers" to kill millions of Jews and other "undesirables".

"Young Jewish death candidates drove the Nazi butchers crazy with their gas-resistance (22):
Yehuda Bacon was 15 years old when he was sent into the gas chamber. He survived the gas, however, and remembers that there were no holes in the shower heads, but rather, only small indentations, to look like holes."
