So, as usual, the Holocaust deniers are misleading people about the nature of the trial and it's verdict.See also this.
The defense of Dejaco and Ertl was not that the crematoria they designed were not crematoria for the victims of mass murder at Auschwitz, but that they had no idea the crematoria they designed were to be used for the victims of mass murder at Auschwitz, and so were innocently misled by the Nazis into designing crematoria for the victims of mass murder at Auschwitz without their knowledge. Ertl himself testified that "Without my knowing it, they [the gas chambers] were built by members of the Kommandant's staff in collusion with the Political Department. They did this in secret by excluding all members of the Construction Directorate at that time."
And the jury very specifically did not conclude "that the rooms in question could not have been gas chambers, nor could they have been converted into gas chambers", but instead that "The majority rejection [of the charges] is based in essence on the report of the expert witness (Diploma Engineer Gerhard E. J. Dubin), according to which no conclusions about gassing installations can be made from the plans." When specifically asked by a defense attormey, "Can one read from the plans lying here before us that gassing installations were to be installed in these objects?", Dubin declared "For construction people that is not possible without other knowledge. From these plans, for me, that cannot be determined."
In other words, the jury believed the defense's assertion that the crematoria plans did not describe the purpose for which the crematoria were intended to be used (to dispose of mass murder victims) because the architects were misled by the Nazis into designing crematoria for the victims of mass murder at Auschwitz without their knowledge, not that the plans themselves proved the existence of gas chambers at Auschwitz impossible (and, indeed, the "expert witness" specifically testified otherwise).
This was despite the testimony of other engineers and prisoners at Auschwitz, and Dubin's own admission on the stand that he could not understand some of the features listed on the plans (particularly the ventilation system of the gas chambers, to which he confessed "What purpose they served, I cannot say. A thermodynamics expert must be asked." When the prosecution asked one such expert, Dr. Engineer Roman Dawidowski, a professor of mechanical engineering and thermodynamics, he pointed out that the massively overbuilt ventilation system in question made it obvious that the buildings served no other purpose than gassing).
EDIT: Also, as LeoMajor says, Ertl and Dejaco both admitted that they knew full what their crematoria were being used for at Auschwitz, and that this was its intended purpose. They just denied that they knew that at the time they designed the Kremas.
So you continually ignore inconvenient facts and evidence that contradict your opinion.I have in the last 20 years spent some good money on quite a few holocaust books and after these years of looking at these books my conclusion is that these people have done a great job duping you the public. It's got to the point that "I get it" when it comes to seeing these rumors, lies and distortions of history, I refuse to get to much involved into it anymore with new books because like I said "I get it".
I take your answer to my question as "none." Which raises another question: if you've not read scholarly works, how are you in a position to tell us about them?Imagine using the term "scholarship and the final solution" by way of books on the holocaust narrative. Too funny...
They can't even get the numbers right, the who what why and where and you use that term that changes yearly and daily. Scholarship, toooo funny......
How can any of these books be any kind of scholarship if they persist to regurgitate the same lies? The books that I look to with respect are the revisionist books that expose these liars at the VHO dot org website.
I'll tell you what, what books do you recommend, I might have them, next to my books on the tooth fairy and Gnomes....
My quoting that Lampshade book showed not the stupid story of the Lampshade but the quotes from those who said it was nonsense. Are we in agreement that the shrunken heads, the soap stories are bunk? Maybe you can quote one of your "scholarly books"...
I still am laughing at that wording..."scholarship and the final solution"...
The only FINAL SOLUTION was getting the Jews OUT of Germany to go other places. When I hear someone use that term then I know they no very little about Germany, Hitler, Gas chambers, fumigation chambers, concentration camps and everything else and belong to the Holocauster cult.....
What you seem to be describing is the process of offering differing conclusions based upon continuing analysis of information.
Far from making these unscholarly it means they are open to review.
Your determination to demand absolutes is less scholarly.
Perhaps, instead of demanding a tooth, you should find out of there was any other evidence found, on which the concensus narrative is built, and if there is a reason teeth might have been elsewhere?
I'll give you a hint. These are discussed in the books you refuse to read.
. . . The only FINAL SOLUTION was getting the Jews OUT of Germany to go other places. When I hear someone use that term then I know they no very little about Germany, Hitler, Gas chambers, fumigation chambers, concentration camps and everything else and belong to the Holocauster cult.....
So, as usual, the Holocaust deniers are misleading people about the nature of the trial and it's verdict.
In addition, he could try to find out, from documents, witnesses, and physical studies, what was the history of corpse disposal and burial sites (how the Germans destroyed bodies and evidence of their crimes) - such as at Treblinka and Auschwitz - rather than huffing and puffing.
He cites Eric Hunt's Treblinka videos. Eric Hunt tried to defend one of his Treblinka videos here and eventually fled the discussion in humiliation. His other stuff on Treblnka is as shoddy - so dishonest and error-filled I don't know where to start. I see that Matthew Ellard has tried to start by calling attention to features found today at the Treblinka site . . .
Is this how history works for you?
"Pics or it didn't happen LOL"
Doesn't matter what photos you're provided with anyway, you dismiss them.
There's footage from a gassing experiment in 1941, and no it doesn't show the interior. It does show naked mental patients being herded into the building, the vehicles and pipes leading into the building to pump in the carbon monoxide.
You'll dismiss that too, of course.
You people here have to be the most illogical people I've ever comes across.
My time here is getting short....
Remains....LOL Like that is a proof of MASS exterminations....

You're as bad as Caroylyn the Liar Colls who found a sharks tooth at her supposedly big mass grave dig in Treblinka, like that was a big deal......LOL
WOW...a couple of bones here and there, a couple of dead bodies here and there are you kidding me?
This is thought was a Skeptic sight not a stupid site.....then again so far what I'm reading is definitely not any semblance of intelligence just links to nowhere.
Definitely not what I signed up for.

You actually believe that video of the old man going into a room was a gas chamber....LOL
This is just too sad for me here.......

Please stop jumping hither and yon. We were discussing the mass shootings of Jews in the occupied East, with some specific examples - Babi Yar, Ponary and Liepaja. Your handwaving away detailed information that discusses the range of evidence about these sites - what you call "links to nowhere" - suggests that you cannot refute, or even conduct discussion about, this material.Remains....LOL Like that is a proof of MASS exterminations....

On the contrary, every denialist assertion has been thoroughly demolished here with well grounded historical references.

No, you didn't understand that correctly. Mr Ellard began pointing you in the right direction on Treblinka with his post. Well-discussed material that renders your claim false includes the final chapter of Arad's book Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka; Rachel Auerbach's introduction to Donat's collection of Treblinka testimonies, In the Fields of Treblnka ("Those in the know are aware that not all the dead were cremated "); Łukaszkiewicz's investigation of the camp site (1945); Jan Gross's book Golden Harvest discussing Treblinka evidence left behind; this webpage describing the current conditions at the Treblinka II site; and chapter 8 "Burning the Corpses" here, covering the three Einsatz Reinhard camps.Nothing remains - nothing. Nothing remains?
nothing
Hello....did I understand that correctly.....NOTHING REMAINS!
Remains....LOL Like that is a proof of MASS exterminations....
