The Holocaust Gas Chambers were not used for execution

Rebuttal #1: Blue Stains The opponent has stated that Prussian blue stains (on the wall of the gas chambers) support the theory that Prussic Acid was used for executing people. However, Zyklon B, as stated before, is a harmful gas only when the gaseous pellets would be released. Hydrogen Cyanide, used in this case, was not in its liquid form, but in its pellet form. Zyklon B does release cyanide; however, this cyanide would have to circulate around the room. As the chamber would be packed with 300-400 victims at once, and witness reports have stated that the Zyklon B would be thrown into the chambers after all the victims entered the room, circulation of the lethal cyanide content would be limited to only several areas. As stated before, an ideal execution chamber looks after the health of both the to-be executed and the executioner; therefore, it is absolutely sealed (and airtight). However, the Gas Chambers, as the opponent and I have agreed on, have several holes on the top of it, allowing dampness and iron to penetrate the chamber. Zyklon B's cyanide content would then immediately be stabilized with the iron from the rainwater; namely, only some (not all) of the Cyanide's content would be released. On the case of Zyklon B itself, Zyklon B is actually much more effective as a fumigant than as an execution chemical. An ideal execution chemical can, and would kill, in 15 minutes or less. I would like to repeat these facts over and over again; Zyklon B takes 30 minutes after its initial release for all the cyanide content in it to be evaporated into the air, and even from there, it would take from 10-60 minutes to kill a human being. Therefore, we can conclude from these facts that the Blue Stains were probably a result of delousing. Rebuttal #2: Holes I, unlike (apparently) many Holocaust Revisionists, do not deny the existence of holes in the Gas Chambers. In fact, these holes make up the core of one of my arguments; as stated before, execution chambers are initially airtight. In a sense, no gas should escape from the execution chambers. However, the Gas Chambers did have holes, and this meant two things: 1. Gas was able to escape from the holes2. Dampness from rain was allowed to come into the chamber As explained before, dampness and Zyklon B are not compatible. The existence of these holes would highly reduce the initial effects of Zyklon B. Apart from this (and to be explained in the future), executioners need complete protection from the lethal gases; a gas mask is not feasible protection. In order to protect themselves, they would have to wear special protective clothing to protect their skins from interacting with the many particles of lethal cyanide floating in the air. Even if the executioners never went in, the gaseous content of the Zyklon would have evaporated up from the Gas Chamber and would have killed the executioner; this was, however, not the case. Therefore, we can conclude that the holes in the gas chambers only added to its ineffectiveness as one (or only adds to our growing list of evidence of the gas chambers being used for delousing purposes) Rebuttal #3: On the Eyewitness Testimonies Let us look at SS Lance Coporal Perry Broad's Testimony (at Dr. Tesch's Trial) First: "Several people in gas masks were on the roof of the old crematorium. They hammered open tins (presumably of Zyklon B) and poured the contents into six holes each ten centimeters (four inches) in diameter, leading apparently through the roof to a chamber underneath. Broad alleged that 300 to 500 people were in the "Old Crematorium." After 2-3 minutes, the screaming ended. " This was a summarized version of a much longer testimony that could be given, in Broad's direct words, in the opponent's argument. However, it does not take a revisionist to point out several fallacies in this statement; it takes 30 minutes for the cyanide content of Zyklon B to be released, and it is released in such a low ppm that it takes around 10-60 minutes for all the people in the gas chambers to die. Apart from this, they dropped it into a hole with only a gas mask on (Several people in gas masks were on the roof of the old crematorium). However, a fully protective uniform is needed to protect the executioner from death from the cyanide content that he ought to use on the to-be executed. Now, let us look at the social situation of Mr. Broad; perhaps he was not forcefully coerced to make his point, but he knew that he was already lucky to be alive at this point, 10 months of the war's end. If he did not satisfy the Americans, they would have sent him to the Soviets, whose labor camps for ex-Third Reich soldiers were already giving fears to many ex-combatants. He did what was necessary for him to survive; during 1964-1965, he did start to look back on the testimonies he gave. He soon denounced his life-saving testimonies, as now he had the freedom to do so. We come to a chilling conclusion; the testimonies given by Perry Broad are life-saving testimonies, made up on the spot to save him from having to work for the Soviet Union. Let us now turn to the case of Rudolf Hoess, the Auschwitz SS supervisor: While awaiting trial, he was given a pencil instead of a pen to write his memoirs in. If he were to have received a pen for writing his memoirs, then facsimiles would be impossible. Rudolf Hoess was trialed at Polish Court in 1946. His testimony is used by the opponent as direct proof of the alleged mass gassings of Jews. However, I would like to point out that the fact that Rudolf Hoess presented inconsistent data throughout his testimony. For example, to the lawyers, he said “two trains bought Jews into Auschwitz on 27 occasions per month. Each train had around 3,000 Jews.” This was from an interview with an American psychologist, placing the death tolls from gassings at around 2,500,000. However, he told the court that his camp was responsible for the deaths of 2,000,000 Jews. What should we believe? It should also be noted that he never gave any details whatsoever of the nationality (how many victims were Belgian Jews, Polish Jews…) of the gassed victims. This was not the only inconsistency he gave. He states in his memoirs (which might have been faked) “trains brought 1,000 Jews to the concentration camp.” However, three pages later, he then states that “15,000 Jews were being brought in” It doesn’t seem logical to immediately assume that five train trips of 1,000 citizens would have allowed 15,000 of them to come into the concentration camp. Again, whom should we believe? Was he lying? Let us move on to the Crematories, as stated by Rudolf Hoess. He states “Crematories in Auschwitz was able to cremate the bodies of 3,000 Jews per day.” However, it is completely vital to recognize the fact that if 1.2 million bodies were to have been cremated, then 9,000 people must be cremated every day. Lastly, we move on to his testimonies on the actual execution itself; Hoess testifies the whole execution as 20 minutes, while Broad says 3-4 minutes. As a revisionist, I am expected to “deny and discard the whole testimony because of this minor difference” Therefore, I have used “historical data inefficiently” However, I have explained other inconsistencies, and this one is not a minor contradiction. This is a major contradiction in the sense that Zyklon B took a long time for its cyanide content to be released. With this in mind, when we are presented with contradictory evidence and we know several facts about Zyklon B, we will conclude that neither of these testimonies is true. There is no conclusive evidence to say that he told the truth in his testimonies; he probably over exaggerated the threat, like what Perry Broad did, in order to attempt to satisfy the Allied Authorities and receive his freedom; however, Hoess suffered from a far more unfortunate fate than Broad did. He was hanged on April 16th, 1946. Perhaps he was innocent. Citations: http://www.ihr.org...http://ihr.org... http://holocausthandbooks.com...http://en.wikipedia.org...
