Please don't lie about Hoess to someone who has actually Read and owns Hoess's memoirs. That was about his initial British captivity. Here's what he says about his experience when he was transferred to the IMT for the trial
While Hoess did get beaten in British captivity (and he completely deserved it), there's really no indication that it was done with the intent to make him give false testimony at the IMT (he was beaten because he was a mass murderer) simply because there's no indication that his testimony was false and intended to serve the IMT's agenda. Most obviously, the IMT indictment prepared by the Soviets mentioned an Auschwitz Death toll of 4 Million (calculated based on exaggerated assumptions of the Crematoria, rather than the actual number of people sent to Auschwitz). If Hoess was coerced, his testimony would've aligned with this indictment and helped validate it, similar to the Moscow show trials and other cases of actual legal coercion. Instead, Hoess testified that "only" 3 Million had died, based on his own memory and knowledge, rather than going with the Allied indictment. Ergo, no coercion. He also placed the date of the planning of the final solution to 1941 rather than 1942, which had the side effect of shifting the responsibility from Kaltenbrunner to his predecessor, Heydrich. Speaking of Kaltenbrunner, Hoess actually did his job and played along with the former's strategy of downplaying his role in the final solution during his IMT testimony. e.g. He stated that he only met Kaltenbrunner a few times (therefore minimizing Kaltenbrunner's complicity in Hoess' role in Auschwitz) and insisted that most of the orders he got came from Mueller (shifting the criminal responsibility from Kaltenbrunner to Mueller). If Hoess was coerced, then he would've implicated Kaltenbrunner at every opportunity, like in the Moscow Show trials and actual cases of legal coercion. Instead, he was openly able to give testimony that helped defend Kaltenbrunner, like any free defense witness in any free and fair trial around the world. No Banana for Saggy.
Said no one ever. And his testimony was not the only piece of evidence reviewed by the IMT regarding the final solution. IIRC the Stroop Report, Hans Frank's diary, documents from the German foreign ministry and statements from various Einsatzgruppen personnel were submitted as well. No one was convicted based solely on Hoess's testimony. Saggy is repeating Ernst Zundel's old strawman that Hoess was the "only" piece of evidence for the Holocaust at the IMT (Not true), which doesn't help his credibility.
Hoess was not tortured, as his testimony at and after the IMT make clear. All Saggy did was prove my point. He lied about the Majdanek Gas chamber having a "window", and now he lies about Rudolf Hoess. No banana for him or Mondial, I'm afraid.
