 If you are sure you'll "have plenty
to criticize" why not just honesty write what you
feel is the true story and have done with it?

 Since you are the one who advocates belief in 
Exterminationism, you should present your own views.
It is hard for a non-believer to do.  As Pressac
writes,  "The tendency to turn the history of the camp 
into legend was very strong indeed in the 50's..."

    Of course, my "research" consists of having visited 
the site and having an idea of what is actually
there at the "scene of the crime".
     There is NO possibility that 1,000 men condemed
to death worked and lived in the Crema II and III.
The security was low.  There was not
enough space for sleeping, eating, or bathrooms.  
Of course, SHM also has a foundry, a carpentry shop,
a dissecting room, a room for a doctor or two,
some SS guards, storage rooms, and a few other
uses all crammed into the two Cremas.  This is on
top of storage of all the coal, the undressing room,
and the alleged gaschamber.

          The Revolt of the Sondercommandos 

      The whole story of the "Revolt of the 
Sondercommandos" is entirely a legend.

     None of the Cremas show any sign of 
having been the site of gun battles.  There are
no bullet marks on any of the ruins of Crema II or III
nor on any of the bricks that remain from the 
walls of Crema IV or V.   Since the legend (or legends)
have Sondercommando revolts occuring at different
Cremas at different times and in different degrees of
intensity of fighting it's rather hard to disprove all 
the legends at once.  However, the stories of prolonged
gun battles at Crema II or III are not supported by any
physical signs on the existing ruins.

 No answer from VanAlstine

   VanAlstine has no answer to some simple and clear 
observations about the present condition of the
ruins of Crema II and III and Birkenau.  Any visitor to
the site can see this.  Anyone with photographs of the
ruins can verify the Revisionist point.  
   VanAlstine could win his point simply by pointing
to any evidence of any bullet hole anywhere on
the ample ruins.  He cannot.  Rather than address
this problem he "takes the offensive" with personal
insults and indignate posturing.  Note that he obfuscates
the real or best Exterminationist story and
DENIES THE VALUE OF PHYSICAL EVIDENCE 
AT THE SITE.  The real "Deniers" are people
like Mark VanAlstine.

I has also struck me that there was no 
security to guard against external attack
(specifically a partisan attack).  The guardtowers
were of wood with no protection from an attack
>from  the outside.  25 partisans could have 
attacked and destroyed the Cremas and liberated
the hundreds of prisoners there.

The question for Exterminationists is,
IF THE CREMATORIA WERE REALLY GASCHAMBERS
WHEREIN HUNDREDS OF MEN WERE IMPRISONED
WHY WAS THERE NO EXTERNAL SECURITY TO
PROTECT THE CREMAS FROM ATTACK FROM THE
OUTSIDE?

      Yes.  It means that the physical evidence is still
there for examimation.  Of course, you are wrong
about it being "obscured beneath tons of rubble".
Anyone can go climb on the slab and LOOK
for themselves.

  See above.  The L.Keller roof is a piece of evidence
not dealt with by Exterminationist theory.

     That was a tenative hypothosis based on
the state of the so-called vent holes.  Try dealing
with some REAL arguments such as:
1. the fact that Leichenkeller 1 was built WITHOUT 
any vent holes at all.  
2.  Or that there are no holes on the roof that could
have been vent holes.  
3.  Or that the so-called  "porous pillars" could 
not have been attached at the roof level.
4.  Or that there were no bars or locks on either
   Crema II or III to confine the "Sondercommandos".

In short, j. Morris, please do something better than
create strawmen and then natter about it.  You
have not dealt with the evidence on the ground 
at Birkenau nor any or the serious questions the 
evidence raises.  Instead, you have dishonestly and falsely
mistated what I and other Revisionists have written
and prevaricated and dissembled about what is 
actually at the scene of the crime.

Poor John has been reduced to trying to
win debating points by false attributions.
     Of course, the roof of Leichenkeller 1 Crema II is
a slab of concrete but I don't think John Morris is
blind (and wouldn't comment on it if he were).  I know
he makes stupid arguments and strongly suspect that
he is a somewhat silly twit.  Although he came up
with a glimmer of intelligence when he raised some
questions about the positioning of the vent holes in
aerial photographs his analytic abilities have faded like
aurora borealis in summer.

     Long absence?   John, maybe your evil twin brother
is posting under your name?  We have postings from you
in June and one on July 17.  Now you are back on 
September 7.   "Long absence" is a rather pretentious

      Your ARE such a dummy.  If the slab does not have 
vent holes now, it didn't in 1944.  
No vent holes = no Zyclon through the vent holes =
no mass gassings.

    Yes.  Everything should matter to an honest
historian and it should matter to get it right.  If you don't
believe this then stop your pretentious self-promotion
as a "Holocaust resource".

Since, as has been noted elsewhere, 
the Exterminationists cannot 
answer  Revisionist Questions
and cannot question Revisionist Answers",
the Nizkor people have faded away from this
thread.  Some of them have been posting directly me.  
Rarely anything nice.  Often, the most uncivilized
hate mail.  


John Morris wrote on 10/10 1996 saying that I

     Actually, the reason you have
stumbled off the thread is because you have
nothing much to add to the discussion.  
If you had anything GREAT to say I doubt you
could restrain yourself from posting it.
The last intelligent thing you put up was about
anomalies with the positions of the marks
on the roof of Leichenkeller 1 in the aerial photographs.
Other than that  I am impressed and irritated by your 
LACK of knowledge about basic facts regarding the 
so-called gaschambers and the silly arguments 
you come up with.
Look at the 5 reasons you gave
for why the Germans built Leichenkeller 1
Crema II WITHOUT the vent holes necessary
to use the room as a gaschamber.
It should be of interest to you that the Germans did 
not plan on building a gaschamber as of 1/15/43
but it seems to be a fact which you cannot deal with.
Therefore you ignore it.


>There is no point in attempting 
>to debate with liars.
What I have posted relates to 
the physical evidence at the "scene of the crime"
and  how that evidence effects the traditional 
story of mass gassings.  For the most part all
I have been doing is repeating that "there is 
physical evidence to be examined, there is 
physical evidence to be examined!!" like
a retrospective Cassandra.
The slab roof is there.  Guardtowers are there.
Enough ruins are there to learn something from.
These are observable facts; not a debate.

While there are grounds to debate, the attempt
of the Nizkor group to deny the existence of 
the existing evidence is both irritating and stupid.
Anyone who visits the site can see, instantly, the
state of the evidence.  To me, Nizkor comes across as
little more than obfuscationists.
It is also ironic since  you guys try to label 
Revisionist as "deniers".


Anyway, don't take it so personally that I have 
called you a craven, prevaricating, Exterminationist
dog (and from Ponoka at that).   I can't pretend to
respect you until you come up with a few intelligent
arguments.  Anyway you are supposed to be in this 
thing for the Truth.  
   Try dealing with some real questions:
1. the fact that Leichenkeller 1 was built WITHOUT 
any vent holes at all.  
2.  Or that there are no holes on the roof that could
have been vent holes.  
3.  Or that the so-called  "porous pillars" could 
not have been attached at the roof level.
4.  Or that there were no bars or locks on either
   Crema II or III to confine the "Sondercommandos".

The security was odd, but it was perhaps 
more economical for such a surface. You
have the towers around, and in the Lagerstrasse, the Hauptstrasse also;
and around the camp, 
external squadrons that went to the point 
required when something was wrong. 
The tower you see for the K2 is at a good 
place; the blind
view is behind, near the south, 
and this place is covered from the Hauptstrasse.

So, when troubles occured with the K4 
(stones throwes from the selection aso),
the internal squadrons went to the K4, and 
for the security some SS to the K2
and K3. At this time, the SK seeing these 
few SS coming cutted the fence with
electrical pliers they had since six monthes 
(as explosives) and ran toward the
NW. The SS here were totally upset 
when they get the explosives. After some
miles the escaping prisoners were joined, and killed 
after a short time (they had one or
two guns). A total of three SS were killed.

During this time, the SK in the courtyard of 
the K4 were simply killed with
machine-guns.

The total is I believe (I didn't give a look, it's an indication) 350
deathes.

Keep in mind that the SK were during a long 
time in barracks, btw the 13 of B2.
It was only near the end that the SK slept in the 
second floor of K2 and K3,
or dressroom and coal bunkers of K4 and K5. 
I don't think as you: this measure
enforced the security, since the SK could less easily communicate with the
another inmates to prepare an uprising 
(the example of the explosives from
Auschwitz 3..).

A large part of the claims that the Germans
murdered millions of people by poison gas
is centered on two buildings at the southwestern
corner of Birkenau Camp in Poland: Crema II and
Crema III.  
The physical remains of the so-called gaschambers
still exists but, thanks to M. Pressac,
we also know that almost the entire record of the
construction and operation of the Cremas still
exists too.
    From the record and from photographs taken during
the construction process, we know that Crema II and
III were not designed or built as "gaschambers" but,
according to Pressac, were modified sometime after
January 1943 or even later.  In the records is a 
picture of the concrete slab of the roof of 
Leichenkeller 1 Crema II.  See Pressac Technique
at pg.  373  Document 34.  The roof was built
WITHOUT the vent holes.  These vent holes were
a vital part of the story that Zyclon was dropped
through the holes.
      
       According to Standard Holocaust Mythology (SHM)
the Germans had a gas chamber in use in the summer and
winter of 1942- the so-called "Bunker".  This building
could (SHM) be used to kill 2,800 people at a time-
the same number as Crema II.  The "Bunker" according
to the story was convenient, isolated, right next to 
burning pits.  The question becomes, why abandon its
use and go to the vast expense (millions of marks)
of converting  Crema II into another gaschamber?
This is particularly true when Exterminationist stories
about reducing the size of the Crema II gaschamber 
are considered.  
Any answers out there from Exterminationists?

   Actually, I am incorrect.  The figure per crematoria is
closer to 1,000,000 Reichmarks for total construction.
Pressac gives a base figure for Crema II of 646,000 RM
with extras for chimneys, architectural work, etc.
The Huta contract was 116,000 RM with various subcontractors
receiving more.  The chimney was built by Messrs Robert
Koehler; Topf & Sons got 110,000 Rm per crematorium.
For the record, we should note that there were other 
"additions" to convert the Leichenkeller into a gaschamber,
a ventilation system being the biggest one.

However, the basic point remains-prior to the construction
of Crema II and III, SHM has people being killed in groups of
2,500 in the "Bunker" and then cremated the bodies in pits.
    PIT CREMATION  
The same cremation system that allegedly worked so well
at Treblinka (900,000) Sobibor (250,000), Baba Yar.  In fact,
the "pit" method was supposedly never abandoned at Birkenau
but was used to cremate a large majority of the bodies there
too.   
                -so-
Why spend approximately 2,000,000 RM on a system which
only increased  the cremation capacity slightly (25%)
over a proven Treblinka style pitcremation method ?

      No offense taken.
    Depends: Union work with government contract $115,285.35;
    Non-Union with Independent contractor   $ 125.00.

Of course, you do raise an interesting point: 
Are gas chambers hard to build or easy to build?
Do you believe that a "gaschamber" can be built by
putting on a gas tight door and putting a few holes in
the roof?

The Exterminationists are rather like the defenders of
the Ptolmeic system in 1500 A.D.  Most of them firmly
believe in their own position and they cannot conceive of
anyone honestly holding a contrary view.

This is also my explaination of how Exterminationists
disregard the clear evidence that I find so convincing.
There is a saying in French is, "Une poule qui a trouve' un 
couteau", a chicken that found a knife.

     In reading Pressac's Technique... I am impressed time 
and time again how Mr. Pressac ignores (what seems to me)
powerful evidence that there could NOT have been gas 
chambers at Leichenkeller 1 of the Cremas; solid physical
evidence such as the lack of vent holes or the impossiblity
that "porous pillars" were attached to the roof or floor.
Pressac seems more than content with what he calls
"criminal traces", usually little "slips" in the masses 
of documents that the Germans left.     Ask Pressac
to look at the actual ruins,  Une poule qui a trouve' un 
couteau!

     The point is NOT moot.  If you believe in the
pit cremation stories then there is NO NEED for
the Crematorium.  Why not just dig another pit?

If you believe that 100% of the bodies at Treblinka
were "pit cremated" , and 100% of the bodies at
Sobibor were pit cremated, and 75% of the bodies
at Birkenau were pit cremated; then the building of
2,000,000 RM  buildings MAKES NO SENSE.
The building of the Crematorium and the 
stories of pit cremations are incompatable.

Mr. Keren, I AGREE WITH YOU 100%
      Of course,  your view raises a serious question, 
if gas chambers "are quite easy to build" then 
why ship people all the way from Greece to
Birkenau to kill them?   Especially during a war when 
rail usage is at a premium? 
     Why not just have a barn somewhere in 
Serbia to bump off all the nonworking "underhumans" 
in the Balkans?  Save the cost and trouble of 
transporting a Million people across the Continent?
The fact that gaschambers are easy to build 
and the fact that the Germans shipped people
clear across Europe is inconsistant.

>You don't even have to install 
>a ventilation system, if the gas chamber is above

Mr. Keren, AGAIN I AGREE WITH YOU 100% 
    Of course,  your view raises a serious question,
to wit,  Why then did the Germans build the alleged
gas chambers UNDERGROUND?  This made an
expensive ventilation system necessary and
lead to a longer ventilation time.  Why not
a nice big shed with two or three doors?

   Actually, I cannot explain how Pressac found
the places where "dummy showerheads were 
attached to the ceiling" because I looked
for them and COULD NOT find them.  
There were some wooden blocks set into the
ceiling (this is a never before printed or posted 
item) but Pressac is not clear if he bases
his claims on these wooden blocks.  He
neglected to take any pictures.

 Do you actually think that 1,000,000 people were
uniformly dumb enough to think that they were going
UNDERGROUND to take a shower?  Further
both Leichenkeller 1 and 2 were low ceilinged,
untiled rooms, about as bathlike as a root celler.
Remember this is also after the victims 
had been made to walk around the Crema 
building itself (please don't look in the
windows at the crematorium).  The story
doesn't fit with the physical layout of the
two Crematoria buildings.

ON 21 Oct 1996 Daniel Keren  raised an 
important point asking,

>the Kremas were built. 
>You don't deny that, do you?

No, Revisionists don't deny that the Kremas
were built.  The fact that the Kremas WERE built
is a significant Revisionist argument.    The 
building of the Kremas makes no sense in the
standard Holocaust story.  
     Remember that Kremas II and III at Birkenau were 
built in March and June of 1943 respectively.  This was
after over 1.2 million people were murdered
and cremated in pits at Treblinka, Sobibor and Belzec
(SHM). This had been done very efficiently in a matter of
about 12 months and all done cheaply with "pit cremation".
    Also remember that "pit cremation" was supposed to
have been used at Auschwitz/Birkenau  both prior to
and after the construction of the Kremas.  The question
becomes, why spend two million Reichmarks  and
six  months on building two Crematorium which only 
increases your "capacity" 25% when it is possible to reach 
the same end immediately (and for free) by digging another 
pit?  Further, why give up a proven reliable system for the
the problems of a system that had various complexities
and has subject to breakdowns such as the burn out of the
chimneys at Kremas IV and V.
The construction of Kremas II and III is a significant
anomaly in the Holocaust story.

The building of the Kremas only makes sense in a
Revisionist context, ie. that Birkenau was a place
of mass confinement but not mass murder.  In
that context the capcity of the two Krema is
in-line with the total need of the Auschwitz 
Birkenau complex

 Revisionists claim that Kremas II and III were 
built as a result of the typhus outbreaks in
Auschwitz/Birkenau in the summers of
1941 and 1942. In thoses outbreaks two or three 
thousand inmates died each week.  
     Further, the Kremas were designed to deal with
the massive increase in inmates planned for 
Birkenau.  The "Mexico" project in the north area
of the camp would have more than doubled the
housing in the camp to approximately 120,000
persons.
      The projected capacity of Kremas II and III
was in line with the projected increase in
camp population but at a slightly higher 
muffle to prisoner ratio than camps in Germany
due to the experience of typhus outbreaks.

     Jamie, not only did you NOT answer the original
question-Why ship people all the way across 
Europe to kill them in Poland?, but you raise a second 
question, 
"Why ship people all across Europe, set up 
expensive camps, require hundreds of guards
if you are going to work the "slaves" to death
doing simple manual labor in a matter of weeks?
The value of a few weeks of slave labor is
clearly outweighed by the costs of camps,
guards, transportation, administration.

As a comparison the cost of guarding and
feeding one prisoner in the US Federal system
is approximately $25,000 per year.  Chain gangs
and prision labor have never paid its way.

     Exactly!! So combining a labor camp with a death
camp does NOT make sense.   Why have 60,000 
witnesses to murder and body disposal, especially
husbands mothers, etc. particularly concerned with
their loved ones who just disappeared "up the ramp"??
Does not make any sense.

No.  The obvious thing to do would be to seperate the
workers from the non-workers at the "collection site".
Only transport the workers across Europe.

>To do it secretly requires a base staffed by

   Jamie, to be blunt, I am shocked by your ignorance
of basic Holocaust history.  Do you know how big
the German "staff" at Treblinka was?, or at Sobibor?,
or at Belzec?  Ever hear about the Einsatzgruppen?
Or about Baba Yar?  Do you actually claim that
a killing facility had to be a huge operation like
Auschwitz?  You are wrong, wrong, wrong. (once
for each of the Operation Reinhard "death Camps")
    
>To dispose of the bodies requires being out in

Right-not next to a big town like Oswiecim.  But,
as I suggested, a small valley in the Balkens.

>To dispose of the bodies most efficiently 
>requires a large crematory facility.
Jamie, to be blunt, I am shocked by your ignorance
of basic Holocaust history.  Do you know how bodies
were disposed of at Treblinka ?, or at Sobibor?,
or at Belzec?  Or at Baba Yar?   These "disposals"
didn't cost anything but the time of the guards.
The Kremas at Birkenau cost millions.  Not very
"efficient".

    My questions may be "kindergarten level" but it 
looks like you flunked kindergarten.  
Tommorow we will look at your "defense" of
underground gas chambers.

Sorry.  I made the post prior to reading your figures.
I am just quoting Pressac.  But I fail to see the point
of seperating the cost of the furnaces from the
cost of the chimney needed to have the furaces
or the cost of the building needed to support the
chimneys.  All in all the total figure was around
2,000,000 RM.

>The gas chambers had to be built anyway, no 
>matter how
>the corpses were to be burned.
    My goodness, you are forgetting Bunker 2?
(subsequently renamed the "White House").
The Germans already HAD a gas chamber,
See Pressac  pg. 171 of Technique.
This structure could dispach 2,500 people
at a time.  More than Leichkeller 1 could.
And remember that Leichenkeller 1 was 
supposed to have been divided in half (SHM)
to accomodate smaller groups.
    And building a gas chamber is one thing-
building it UNDERGROUND is an very expensive,
illogical, different thing.  Consider excavation
problems, drainage and waterproofing problems,
and, as you correctly mentioned, ventilation problems.
Also think of all the problems of tricking people
into going down underground to take a shower.
No, the slightest consideration will show that
you were right in your last posts, an above ground
structure with two or three doors would have been 
simple and easy to build (or built?)

># In that context the capcity of the two Krema is in-line
># with the total need of the Auschwitz Birkenau complex

>No, it's about 20 times higher. 
    Where did you get these figures?  Pressac makes
it 4.5 times higher than the other camp ratios but
he includes Crema I (abandoned) Kremas IV and V
(which were also abandoned) to increase the number
of muffles (retorts)  and does not count any of 
the planned increases in camp population to 
120,000 persons.

     Dealing with a problem and wanting a problem
are two different things.  I was a fireman 
for some time.  We didn't want fires. We tried
to prevent fires but we kept our LaFrance and VanPelt
ready.  
The evidence shows massive deaths in the
camps from typhus but there is also significant
evidence that the Germans took many steps to
combat typhus and other diseases.  I have
been into the Zentral Sauna building at Birkenau.
It is a very impressive structure, entirely built to
control contagion.  From shaving inmates heads
to posting the famous Eine Laus Dein Tod! poster
around the Camp vigourous efforts were made to
combat Typhus.
     Pressac, himself, notes that over 95% of Zyclon-B
was destined for delousing pg. 15 of Technique.  
    I would venture to guess that the Germans spent 
many times more on the Zentral Sauna building,
the camp hospital, and on Typhus control than they
did on the admittedly expensive Krema II and III.

They're in a strange place. Nothing is familiar.

Maybe they're told they're going to a

Finally they can get clean, feel water on

Perhaps one man objects. "That's not a shower, 
it's in a basement," he
shouts. The parents may shout him down; 
they don't want to frighten their

him with a gun butt or a bullet.
Either way, no one WANTS to believe him.

go to the showers they're told to go to.
 
And they go to their deaths.

     Your description implies that there was no need
for deception, security or crowd control measures.
My belief is that people, when deeply afraid, 
will often freeze or could stampede.  But, the
psycology of crowds aside, I am interested
how you explain the following descriptions:

"All these people were unaware of the fate
awaiting them.  They were merely upset at being separated...
To render their welcome more pleasant at this time-
June, July 1944- an orchestra composed of internees-
all young and pretty girls, dressed in little white
blouses and navy blue skirts-
played, during the selection... gay tunes such as "the
Merry Widow. "  Martin Gilbert  The Holocaust  at pg 686
quoting Claude Vaillant Couturier. 
   -and-
"To the captivating tunes played played by the internee 
musicians...the cortege of the condmned wound toward
Birkenau.  Fortunately, they were unconscious of the fate 
that awaited them...The S.S. TROUPS ESCORTING THEM
WERE IRREPROACHABLY 'CORRECT' ... the newly arrived 
had to be handled properly to the very end...The 
'bath Director', in a white blouse, distributed towels 
and soap."  emphasis added.

 Dr. Olga Lengyel  Five Chimneys The Ziff-Davis Publishing Co.
London (1984)  at page 84.

 How do you reconcile your description which emphasizes
force with the actual survivor eyewitness accounts 
which clearly state that the victims were tricked into the
gaschamber?

    That may be true but it doesn't answer the question
about why Krema II and III's alleged gaschambers were UNDERGROUND.

      I will have to check Pressac but I think he quoted
more.  However, the ventilation time and possible
breakdown problems also seem to be significant
disadvantages of a ventilation system and reasons
not to make the gaschamber underground.  There would also be some logistic
problems of herding people underground and then getting the bodies back
up.

      The Leichenkellers 1 were built to be and were used
as Leichenkellers.
    I will toss out my theory.  Maybe even John Morris
will be lured back to take a shot at it.
     The Leichenkeller 1s were built to tie in with the 
operating schedule of the crematorium.  I do not think
that it is possible to continuously run the crematoria
furnice without burning out the chimney or damaging the
ovens.  Pressac mention this as happening to K.IV and K.V.
   The operating cycle of the Kremas.
I believe that a furnice, once fired-up, takes an 
hour to warm to operating temperature, and then can 
operate for a period of several hours (I guess 12-14)
without damaging the interior of the chimney or the
muffles.  At that point, it has to be shut down for
a period of time to cool off, perhaps two or three
days.  The cooling is not the real problem
but cracking due to too rapid a cooling.  
     In K.II and K.III there may have been some 
rotation among the 5 furnices however,
sooner or later, the whole furnice had to have been 
shut down and allowed to cool and be serviced.
If the furnices was not run continously, the bodies
had to be collected until the furnice was fired-up.
     Even the local crematoria "collects" the bodies 
for a day or two before "firing up".  And the local
plant must deal with the constraints of dealing
with the public.

      In its operatation period of 12 hours K.II could probably  have
dealt with around 1,200 bodies. T
his would tie in with the capacity of the Leichenkeller.
                    Why UNDERGROUND.
     Since a body might wait several days before 1,200
bodies were collected, it would have to be stored in 
a cool place, UNDERGROUND.  This explains why the 
trouble was taken to insulate the Leichenkeller and 
put weather stripping on the door.  A cool place was 
needed until the furnice was ready to be fired up.
                  Why SMOKE
    Many survivors remember smoke and then the smell
of cremation.  However,  Crematoria do NOT smoke when 
running.   However the Crema would smoke while heating 
up, until the temperature rose enough to prevent smoke.  
This would be just prior to cremations.

     Why do you say that?  I have NOT seen any analysis but
have relied on the stories of massive pit burnings.

      Except that by January 1943 they had the experience
of Treblinka, Sobibor behind them.  Hoess was supposed
to have even visited Treblinka to learn "techniques".

     This seems like a posibility. 
     However part of the Treblinka story is that the
corpses, once started and with old ladies on the bottom,
burned on their own, ie. little fuel actually had to 
be gathered.  I do not know if this is "official" 
Holocaust history or not. or what is the offical position
on how the 900,000 bodies at Treblinka were burned. 
Clearly, if Treblinka  was "efficient" or cheap (just
using camp labor) then that should have been the 
method used at Auschwitz two years later.

     In the Ardennes, perhaps?  That would save 1,200 kms.
of travel and keep trains full of people crossing the Reich.
Actually, the situation of the 75,000 deported French 
Jews is somewhat unique.  I was thinking of Vilnus
or the unfortunates from Greece.

       Another reason to keep from transporting people
too far.  
     Actually British and then Soviet radio propaganda 
(or news) started mentioning Nazi deathcamps by summer
of 1942.  The history of these reports is worth
 some thesis by a grad student.
     You ask a fair question-what the Leichenkellers
were for?  I will try to answer that tommorow.
It is an important question.

      Gee, Jamie, do you think that "Rudolf" ever
heard about a heater?  Cost about 15 bucks, much
cheaper than trying to bury a whole room underground.
Or are you refering to the reindeer?  

>* The walls couldn't be pushed over or kicked

     Gee, Jamie, the answer to this fairytale is in 
another fairytail,  The Three Little Pigs.  
In all the "above ground"
gas chambers at Treblinka, Sobibor, at Auschwitz
Main Camp, at the Bunker, or Krema IV or V, 
did you ever hear of a story of the walls being "pushed
over or kicked down".  No.
Why don't you make-up a real winner like, 
"It was clearly built underground
to withstand tornados"

>* A solid concrete room deadened the screams 
>of the dying, aiding the

     Maybe, but the question was, "why bury it underground?"
If secrecy was so important as to require a
"bit more" effort why were Krema II and III 
right in plain view from much of the camp, with
the camp soccer field next to K. III and living units 
next to K. I?  If fact, why was the alleged 
extermination effort done with 60,000
witnesses?
    If  Ross Vicksell didn't bother to reply to you
it was because you didn't post that was
worth responding to.

    That's true.  But since we agree that a gaschamber

one in Vilna.  Save shipping that other three million

    No, but I do expect you to be able to add.  If you
do, you can quickly see that the idea of transporting
somebody 1,000 Km.s to work him to death in
6 weeks does not make economic sense.

    You miss the point.  There is a conflict between 
the story of easy to build extermination camps
and the costs of creating a huge guarded city
like Auschwitz/Birkenau.
     There is a conflict between value of 6 weeks
forced labor and the immense cost of getting that
slave labor.

 Earlier you said that 10% of inmates were not
killed.  If there were 1,000,000 inmates, how
many witness does that leave?  No, your story
is not consistent.
