The holocaust hoax is anti-German racism gone wild. Essentially, the “holocaust” never happened because no one was ever killed in gas chambers, or made into soap or lampshades by the Nazis, and there was NO program to physically exterminate all the Jews of Europe or the world. As to mass murder or “mass extermination” by other means such as mass shootings, all Americans and Brits should look at themselves in the mirror.

The “real” mass murderers and the ultimate genocidal maniacs were, and still are, the United States and Britain. During World War 2, the US and Britain deliberately murdered well over a million totally innocent civilians, mostly women and children, by deliberately “roasting” them to death (Curtis LeMay loved that terminology) with massive, incendiary air attacks. America even used napalm–and eventually nuclear weapons as well to deliberately “roast” women and children to death. Mass gassings by the Nazis, those mythical crimes, would have been humane and merciful compared to what the US and Britain actually did and about which there is no dispute. Contrary to widely-held but false belief, it was the British who had begun the cowardly air war against civilians, not Germany, in 1940–with encouragement from the US even though the US was technically still neutral. In spite of having the largest empire in human history and the support of the United States with its nearly total domination of the entire western hemisphere and vast human and material resources, the mass murder of Axis civilians was widely recognized and accepted as an essential part of Allied strategy because Allied ground forces were simply no match for the brilliance and prowess of the small German army and its allies. But instead of even trying to make peace, the Allies resorted to terror. The Allied demand was for total “unconditional surrender.” Terrorism is firmly embedded in American and British modern military performance and that, in turn, makes the current furor about al-Qaida atrocities laughable. America and Britain have simply been given a small taste of their own medicine.

Since World War 2, the US and Britain have continued their racist madness, especially against Germany, with elaborate show trials in violation of international law to try to perpetuate their wartime atrocity claims forever. The brazen strategy has been to use the anticipated verdicts and conclusions of the trials as justification for the illegal means, including torture, needed to conduct the trials. Such show trials are no better than those of the medieval Inquisition:—accused Nazis, and now revisionists or mere doubters as well, are the newest heretics and witches. Ultimately, the hoaxers will fail because of the overwhelming evidence against the holocaust gassing claims. Where, for example, are the bodies—not just bodies of people who died from disease or American strafing and bombing, but bodies of people who actually died from poison gas or poison? There are none.

Instead of Hess, a true hero, being offered the Nobel Peace Prize--it went instead to one of the most scurrilous liars of all time, Elie Wiesel.

RUDOLF HESS: Prisoner for Peace. In May of 1941, HESS flew alone from Germany to Britain to prove with his own physical presence that Germany's offers of peace with Britain were sincere and not mere propaganda. For this heroic, Christ-like act HESS was rewarded with life imprisonment, most of it in solitary confinement–until he was actually murdered in Spandau Prison by a British assassin in 1987 at age 93. No man ever deserved the Nobel Peace Prize more than RUDOLF HESS.

The Holocaust HOAX resembles the tale of the the Emperor's New Clothes. Although the claim that six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis is the really Big Lie, that big lie is supported by a never-ending host of other lies including the following:— the evidence is “overwhelming” based on “countless German documents, and eyewitness accounts, and the testimonies of the German perpetrators themselves,” and only people who are willfully blind or demented, psychically and morally, could possibly fail to recognize the “undeniable” truth. In the tale of the Emperor's New Clothes, only people who were stupid and/or unfit for their positions could possibly fail to see the Emperor's beautiful new clothes. A single child was apparently unintimidated by the possible loss of his position and was the first to say the emperor was totally naked.

When Robert Wolfe was still the director of the Military Branch of the National Archives in Washington, DC, he held a small conference in 1978 attended by this webmaster in which Wolfe admitted that, contrary to what people generally believed, the real “evidence” for the holocaust “fits into a small shoe box.” He then reached into a small pile of papers from which he took one version of the famous “Statement of Kurt Gerstein.” That ridiculous piece of “evidence” is still the best evidence there is for the “holocaust.” Since that small conference in Wolfe's office, a huge holocaust museum has been constructed in Washington, DC a short distance from the National Archives–but that gargantuan structure contains nothing better than the papers Wolfe held in his hand years earlier. The US Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) in Washington, DC is a monument to mountains of non-evidence, and stupidity, and fanatical racism on the part of the creators of that museum, mostly jewish, only a few feet away from many of America's most cherished monuments. Let those who insist otherwise identify even a single name from a German wartime document anywhere showing that the person named was killed by the Germans in a gas chamber. Let those who insist otherwise identify even one photo of a corpse found in any German concentration camp of someone who (no name or identity necessary) was killed in a gas chamber, or with any poison based on any kind of forensic examination of the human remains.

Evidence for holocaust gassings is minuscule and false. But, the ongoing campaign to make such evidence appear “overwhelming” and “undeniable” is awesome. The campaign is also quite ruthless as shown by the imprisonment and ruination of many, entirely non-violent people who have merely expressed disbelief in the “holocaust.” The people targeted and most clearly hurt by the holocaust accusations, namely the Germans, are denied the most basic human rights of any accused person, or people, which is to protest their innocence. Holocaust propaganda is “overwhelming”–but NOT the evidence for gassings. There are indeed “mountains of German wartime documents” in various archives but they are nearly all totally irrelevant. The documents which would be most likely to reveal the total innocence of the Nazis are still hidden in places like Arolsen and Moscow and even Auschwitz, far from all critical examination except by the most carefully screened few. The “holocaust” in general is a big lie repeated many, many times–with officially sanctioned terror as an essential tool for persuasion in many countries, including Germany and Austria. By contrast, the fairytale Emperor imprisoned no one, as far as we know, for doubting the existence of his marvelous, new clothes.

America's handiwork: Victims of disease–generally typhus–at Belsen, a direct result of the Anglo-American bombing and strafing of axis civilians and civilian targets. The Germans are still falsely blamed. General Dwight D. EISENHOWER had even forced thousands of German civilians to walk past the dead as if they were somehow responsible. He should have looked at himself in the mirror, instead. Belsen was his handiwork. Such horrors were also the handiwork of all of America's and Britain's leaders, from the highest to the lowest. Just what did they expect to find after years of bombing and strafing every conceivable target from entire cities to lone farmers in their fields? The real horrors of the so-called holocaust, in pictures that everyone should look at, were America's own doing. Don't be shy, don't deny--take pride in your achievement America! You did it! But, instead of embracing their own achievements, they actually believe they were the “good guys.” They continue to blame the Germans, especially those “fiendish” Nazis, for what they themselves had caused. They themselves were the true fiends and criminals. But they won the war. And EISENHOWER, instead of being hung as the depraved and cowardly war criminal that he truly was, actually rose to become president of Columbia University and later the United States–an American hero and an inspiration for future generations!

The above picture and countless others like it are also used to support the gassing claims when, in fact, the people who generally do this know perfectly well that not even one of the bodies shown in any photo, anywhere, is of someone killed with poison, or poison gas of any kind. Dr. Charles P. Larson, an American pathologist, was just one of the doctors specifically assigned to find forensic evidence of deaths from poison or gas and they all found nothing!

ANNE FRANK was also among the dead at Bergen-Belsen. She died there from typhus even though she had spent many months in Auschwitz in 1944. She had later been evacuated to Bergen-Belsen and died there just two weeks before the camp was turned over to a British medical team on April 15, 1945 as part of a negotiated truce which had been initiated by the SS. It was the British who had delayed the actual transfer of the camp for several days, perhaps even weeks, because of special security demands they had put upon the SS. See footnote 34 of my essay “Typhus and the Jews.” Anne Frank and countless others had “survived” Auschwitz because the Nazis had wanted them to “survive.” If the Nazis had wanted them to die, they certainly would have been able to arrange it–but they, obviously, had no desire to kill her even though Anne Frank's usefulness to the Nazi war effort would have been close to nil. They fed her, and clothed her with clean lice-free clothing, and provided shelter and security and much more as best they could in spite of the war. If they had simply left her out in the cold winter, she would have died quickly from exposure--but they had kept her warm and alive instead. It was British and American terror bombing and strafing that ultimately murdered Anne Frank–NOT the Nazis! Her unburied remains were probably still there when the British entered the camp and may even be identified someday in a picture such as the one above. Of course, the Americans and Brits had not murdered her intentionally–Anne Frank's death was merely the kind of collateral damage that “happens.” If she had merely been any German girl of the same age, there would be nothing to talk about. For example, 140 German girls named "Anne" were murdered in Würzburg on March 16, 1945 by the Allied bombing in which 7,000 people were killed. To the suggestion that Anne Frank would never have died if the Nazis had not imprisoned her, the fact is that America had been sponsoring underground terrorists throughout Europe for years. If the Germans did not shoot likely partisans outright, they had to incarcerate them. The Nazis had good reason to incarcerate the entire Anne Frank family in view of the close relationship they had with the Dutch underground which had actually built the famous hideaway. Shame on America for its sponsorship of terrorism which also led to Anne Frank's death.

During the American Civil War, the Union army lost more than twice as many men to disease alone as from wounds. Near the end of World War 1, the United States lost roughly half-a-million people to the Spanish influenza without even one enemy bomb having been dropped on the USA–and without any serious food shortages either; the death rate from war-related disease alone exceeded the death rate from wounds by a factor of ten. In September 2005, for example , the entire world witnessed the human disaster following Hurricane Katrina–not in defeated Germany, but in the richest country on the planet and in peacetime. New Orleans had become Bergen-Belsen on the Mississippi. Many thousands of people die of diseases such as cancer in American hospitals every day; their undressed remains look no better than any of the dead at Bergen-Belsen. Just line up those near death and take off the pajamas and covers and open your eyes. Americans should bite their tongues regarding Nazi Germany and the German concentration camps. They should look at themselves in the mirror instead. Shame on America!

A real GAS VAN. When I first saw this photograph in the German automotive literature from the war, my last doubt about the revisionist position ended. This was a gas van--but quite different from everything that was alleged.

A typical, self-propelled, poison gas generating bus (up to 35% CO)—never implicated in mass gassings!! Thousands of these vehicles were in daily operation in Austria and Germany already before the war. In German, they were called Holzgaswagen. In English, they were called “producer gas vehicles.” They burned wood chips with a restricted air supply. The result was a highly-combustible gas, principally carbon monoxide, which was also highly toxic. Producer gas is poison gas! Holzgas ist Giftgas!

Steel, gas-tight bombshelter doors with peepholes for safety–typical of tens of thousands of identical doors throughout German-occupied Europe. At the US Holocaust Museum in Washington DC, the only piece of physical evidence on display was a similar door with a peephole. It proves absolutely nothing when one understands what was really happening. Peepholes were required in all such bombshelter doors according to the German industry standard: DIN-Vornorm 4104. For more about German bombshelters, especially the gastight doors, see Index Page 3

Real Holocaust victims, which is what these victims were, look far worse than the dead at Bergen-Belsen.

German civilian victims of Allied terror bombing found inside a Hamburg bombshelter. The British dropped the actual bombs, but America, ever since the start of Lend Lease in March 1941 and long before Pearl Harbor, provided the financing for these true atrocities. The British had begun the deliberate bombing of civilian targets in WWII already in May of 1940. The German response in kind only began after much restraint in September of 1940–more than three months later, and only after numerous German peace proposals were totally rejected by Churchill.

The establishment historians were, and probably still are, totally unaware of this wide-spread, poison gas technology.

Poison Gas to Go. One of more than 500,000 self-propelled, poison gas generators in German-occupied Europe. The poison gas (with as much as 35% CO) was a necessary alternative to the liquid fuels, mostly synthetic, which were reserved for combat vehicles and aircraft. HITLER approved! Each producer gas vehicle could have been easily adapted for mass gassing if there had ever been any such intention. Each generator was equipped with its own start-up blower (Anfachgebläse) which normally blew some of the generated gas only to atmosphere–but which could easily have been connected to a hose or stovepipe to fill a jail cell, or barracks, or gas chamber.

Was this artistic logo intended to promote the mass gassing of Jews or anyone in order to make Germany strong? Of course, not!

Strength through the use of Gas. The above logo was used to promote voluntary use of producer gas in early years of war. Already by September of 1942, all medium and heavy vehicles including buses throughout German-occupied Europe had to use producer gas as fuel. However, by September of 1943, ALBERT SPEER made producer gas use compulsory for all civilian motor vehicles as well, including all trucks and buses–liquid fuels were prohibited except for military and emergency services. Diesel and gasoline engines at all concentration camps were also driven with the highly toxic, producer gas! The resulting engine exhaust, from diesel or gasoline engines, was harmless in comparison to the fuel itself--and one more reason among many to reject all of the "Holocaust" gassing claims.

Producer Gas technology was extremely dangerous and therefore all drivers and users of this technology were repeatedly warned about the dangers. The poster above was widely used to tell everyone involved: “Vergiftunsgefahr (Danger of Poisoning)“ The bottom of the poster goes on: “Do not start the generator except in the open or else vent gases to the outdoors!”

500,000 Poison Gas Generators on Wheels. One key to unraveling the Holocaust HOAX is the fact that the Germans actually used poison gas as a fuel for nearly all civilian motor vehicles as well as many military vehicles–throughout the war in all of their occupied territories including Russia.. The best evidence of this is the German wartime literature–but, a recent book Alte Technik mit Zukunft from 1986 summarizes the wartime history of the German producer gas technology. One key sentence appears already on its back cover: “More than 500,000 suction-gas-driven trucks and cars were driven until the end of the Second World War in nearly all european countries...” The term “suction-gas-driven” refers only to producer gas (Holzgas) vehicles. The primary ingredient in producer gas is carbon monoxide which is highly combustible as well as toxic. For the Nazis to have used diesel exhaust, or even gasoline engine exhaust, as a source of toxic carbon monoxide when the actual fuel they were most likely to use to drive their diesel engines, or gasoline engines, was itself far, far more toxic–containing from 18% to 35% CO–is simply too unbelievable. It never happened!

Producer Gas is Poison Gas with 18% to 35% carbon monoxide!!

Guidelines for Safety with Gas-generating Vehicles. Each of the hundreds of thousands of producer gas vehicle drivers was required by law to know just how potentially deadly his fuel actually was–and was required to keep the above guidelines with the vehicle registration papers on the vehicle. See full text with translation. The safety of each vehicle and its cargo, which was often munitions, as well as the driver's own survival depended on strict adherence to the technical guidlines and rules that were also spelled out in numerous publications related to these vehicles. The fuel was potentially explosive as well as toxic.

Guidelines for Mass Murder? Today, as the newest fuel crisis worsens, one can use Google “search” to find thousands of discussions for the keyword Holzgas and the related producer gas technology. However, none of those recent discussions even mention the toxic hazards. By contrast, the German guidelines for the use of Holzgas during the WW2 begin with a concise description of the actual toxic dangers with a stern warning. The first two sentences tell any would-be mass murderer all he needs to know to choose an extremely deadly and readily available poison gas. The first two sentences explain that Holzgas contains as much as 35% carbon monoxide–and that even as little as 0.1% can kill; Vergiftungsgefahr! How ironic and strange, to say the least, that this widespread German technology has never been implicated in any Holocaust claims, and that diesel exhaust is blamed instead. As one comes to understand what was really happening in the war–what was merely absurd becomes unbelievable. Nazi gassings never happened.

Manufactured Evidence as a result of Torture. The above appeared after the “Forward” in the 1960 first edition of Auschwitz by Dr. MIKLOS NYISZLI. Although the signature with title and rank of RUDOLF HOESS may well be genuine, the text of his outlined “confession statement” is in English and clearly in a different handwriting. No doubt, United Press International was quite proud of itself when it distributed this “scoop” world-wide to its wire service subscribers. Here was all the proof needed to convince the world that HOESS had “personally arranged on orders received from Himmler in May 1941 the gassing of two million persons between June/July 1941 and the end of 1943 during which time I [Hoess] was commandant of Auschwitz.” This “voluntary evidence” from March 1946 was obviously manufactured so as to condemn HEINRICH HIMMLER as well. For more info about the torture of Rudolf Hoess see the work of Joe Bellinger and the discussion on the CODOH Revisionist Forum.

German Wartime Cyanide Concentrations from Zyklon-B in Gas Chambers

LEFT: with circulation or“Kreislauf” throughout the chamber. RIGHT: without circulation—the gas must find its own path.

The heavy lines represent concentrations in the center of the chamber whereas the other lines represent concentrations in each of the four corners of the chamber. With circulation, the cyanide levels range from 8 to 12 grams per cubic meter throughout the chamber within less than half-an-hour and then gradually drop off as the cyanide is absorbed. But without circulation, ONLY one of the cyanide levels reaches 8 grams per cubic meter in the corner nearest to the Zyklon granules–and for the rest of the chamber, the cyanide levels remain much lower for the entire four-hour period. (original source: DEGESCH as given in Blausäuregaskammern zur Fleckfieberabwehr by Puntigam, Breymesser and Bernfus, Sonderveröffentlichung des Reichsarbeitsblattes, Berlin 1943, page 33.)

Cyanide Dispersal in Real gas Chambers The two figures show the way cyanide disperses throughout a small,. filled gas chamber over a four-hour period. On the left, the gas concentrations increase rapidly because of circulation or Kreislauf of the gas. Warm air is driven through Zyklon-B granules near one corner of the chamber. The gas mixture is continually withdrawn from the opposite side of the chamber and returned after being driven through an external circulation blower. In effect, the blower drives the entire process. On the right, we see how slowly the cyanide concentrations increase when there is no circulation or Kreislauf.

Without circulation or Kreislauf, the heavy line in graph (above right) shows us that even after half-an-hour, the cyanide level only a few feet away in the center of the chamber has risen to only about 1/10 of a gram per cubic meter. In other words, the concentration gradient in the chamber is about 100 to 1 without circulation. This means that whatever HCN concentration would have been lethal for any individual would of necessity have required that one hundred times that concentration would have been required near the source of the HCN. A more inefficient and wasteful way to disperse HCN is hard to imagine—but such nonsense is just what one is expected to believe. By merely applying some basic, common sense HVAC (heating ventilation and air conditioning) to this problem using a blower and suitable ducting, the problem would have been easily solved. But that is not what is claimed by the hoaxers at all. What we are given instead is a thoroughly absurd theory about “Zyklon introduction columns” (Drahtnetzeinschiebvorrichtungen) which, in reality, would have only made the dispersal of the gas much more difficult. The simple answer (obvious to any German engineer) would have been to simply modify the existing ventilation ductwork with a much larger blower and a sheet metal opening somewhere in the ductwork to allow a basket of Zyklon-B granules to be placed into the air stream–and removed afterwards.

Zyklon-B releases cyanide S-L-O-W-L-Y. The product was designed that way in order to allow far safer handling of cyanide than earlier methods such as the “pot” method. The pot method is still used in American gas execution chambers. The figure on the right corresponds to what one can expect for the alleged homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz-Birkenau–and it shows that those “executions” would have been a fiasco. Mass murder with Zyklon-B would have required hours of exposure and nothing like the three minutes that self-styled “eyewitnesses” have claimed. The alleged homicidal gas chambers had NO circulation; persons standing near the Zyklon B granules might have been effected in less than half-an-hour, but persons in at least one remote corner of the chamber would have only been effected hours later. But more than that, even American gas execution chambers with a rapid release and dispersal of cyanide simply cannot kill their intended victims in less than an average time of nine minutes–see links below. These simple facts are good reason to reject the anti-Nazi cyanide gassing claims as complete rubbish. The self-styled “eyewitnesses” to the alleged mass gassings lied bigtime. That postwar courts and judges accepted such “evidence” merely showed how thoroughly corrupt those courts and judges were.The absence of any better evidence for the gassing tales should persuade everyone that the homicidal gassings never happened! There simply is no credible “scientific evidence” for any of the gassing claims. By “scientific evidence” this author means objective evidence that has not been the product of corrupt judges and prosecution teams determined to convict at any cost, using methods the USofA and others still use to this very day to gain information and convictions (such methods are still common in police precincts throughout America).

If the Germans had ever concocted anything as silly as the alleged “Zyklon introduction columns,” they would more than likely have called them something like Drahtnetz-e-i-n-f-a-l-l-vorrichtungen instead based on the fact that a similar stovepipe in the standard DEGESCH delousing chambers was called a Fallrohr. See Figure 1, item #7 in Zyklon-B and the German Delousing Chambers. By contrast, the word schieben means to “push” or “slide” instead of “dump” and is inappropriate for the function alleged by the hoaxers. The strong similarity between the Fallrohr and so-called “Zyklon Introduction Columns” suggests that the innocent Fallrohr had been the basis through misunderstanding, or worse, of its lifesaving function. In Autobiography which was supposedly written by Rudolf Hoess and published by the Auschwitz Museum in 1978, German edition, we have on pages 50 and 51 the claim that holes in the ceiling were tied to a Fallrohr which allowed the granules to drop to the floor. Here we see how part of the hoax was constructed from a small piece of something which is true--but which really makes no sense technically for homicidal gassings. Simply letting the basket hang a foot below the ceiling would have at least let the breathing of intended victims provide some air movement through the granules. Dropping the granules to the floor put them into a cul-de-sac with absolutely NO air circulation at all. This is all the more reason to reject the gassing claims as sheer fabrication.

Victims who have been killed (not merely living patients who have been poisoned) with carbon monoxide or cyanide are, with rare exceptions, marked with a distinct, even “characteristic” red coloring over most of their bodies. The exceptions are the corpses of people, generally old and/or infirm, who died quickly before the carboxyhemoglobin or oxyhemoglobin levels could rise high enough to effect the color of the corpse. Let those who contend otherwise try to find photographic evidence from the forensic medical literature to support the holocaust claims about “blue” or “bluish” or even “green” corpses. They will find, instead, only more evidence that the holocaust story is a monumental hoax. If the holocaust is not a hoax, then surely all of the forensic medical textbooks and atlases must be rewritten to include the “overwhelming” evidence from the holocaust. We may as well turn science on its head. Why not?

The most important essay showing the nearly perfect correlation between intense red coloring in corpses and carbon monoxide poisoning is originally from Austria based on the examinations of 182 corpses of people who died from CO. The answer posed by the title of the essay is YES–and that means that nearly all of the evidence about the supposed deaths of more than 2 million Jews in the Reinhardt camps is rubbish. All of the "witnesses" from GERSTEIN on lied about the most obvious kind of evidence for such claims. Except for such bad evidence, there is next to nothing to support those claims.
