LGR is right. We're not asking for somebody to develop a Manhattan project here. Is there evidence of large soil disturbances consistent with the large mass graves at the AR camps or not? It ain't that tough.
Naturally, all parties concerned would need to decide in advance where we would look for mass graves and what we would use for our control. More difficult, but not impossible, would be figuring out a way to have the data analyzed in a way that would shield the people doing the analysis from the consequences of not finding mass graves. We wouldn't want anybody to end up Ivan Legaced or forced to do the James Roth dance.
Another option would be to dust off the Treblinka report that was done by the Poles in 1946 and submit it to a peer-reviewed journal, doesn't matter where, and get it stamped with the proper seal of approval. As it stands, this report entered the public arena without the endorsement of proper peer review. The few professionals who are even aware of it have largely pointed and gone 'bwahahaha'.
That would at least give the pro-mass grave people something to support their view besides the fantastical statements of unreliable eyewitnesses.
Eh? What are you talking about? Can you even cite a single professional who's gone 'bwahahaha' about the Polish 1945 report on Treblinka? And no, Mattogno et al don't count as professionals.
I find it strange that you think that investigative report need to be "peer reviewed". Are police reports generally "peer-reviewed", or don't they in fact constitute raw evidence and data?
It all smacks of goalpost-moving proceduralism to me. No denier has ever presented a coherent objection to the 1945 report on Treblinka, which together with the associated photos constitute prima facie evidence of the mass graves, soil disturbance and presence of cremated human remains on the site.
It so happens that I have a copy of the report sitting on my desk beside my laptop, right now, taken from a microfilm of the court file submitted to the trial of Ludwig Fischer at al in Warsaw in 1947. The text of the main part of the report is floating around in enough places. The photos are not. As my copy is taken from a microfilm of pages on which prints of the photos were stuck, the resolution is not the best, and so no, I won't be scanning them for anyone. There are 12 photos, of which not more than 2 can be found on the internet right now. And they don't include most of the well known photos that are available on the internet. The pockmarking on the landscape is quite apparent even from the copy of a copy of a copy, as are the shapes of human skulls, the depth of graves being excavated, and the barrenness of the landscape.
The photos and the protocols of the excavations form part of two files which were submitted to the Polish court in 1947, which also contain the witness statements of survivors and bystanders along with numerous surviving German documents, mostly waybills for rail shipments in and out of the camp, including a fairly extensive set of waybills documenting the dismantling of the camp. Some of the documents are referenced in the summary report in German Crimes in Poland which is on the internet. One can see very clearly how the summary report was arrived at from the much larger collection of materials. These were incidentally published on several occasions in Poland, both in the 1940s and 1950s.
I don't care if some troll goes wah-wah-wah and demands to be spoonfed, the materials are there, filed in the proper place, much of them published, in the relevant language. The photos would presumably be in the IPN archive. I have seen other photos not from this sequence and not to be found on websites in other publications in Polish, citing from IPN photo archive references.
I don't care what denier crybabies say because it's up to them to make a case, not for others to go over ground that's been gone over in the correct arenas multiple times since 1945.
The materials I have just summarised make it quite clear that Dogzilla and co are flat-out lying or deluded if they try to peddle a 'no mass graves' line. Not even Mattogno tries
that, for God's sake.
But approximately every 5-10 pages of this thread, Dogzilla or some other denier defaults back to 'no mass graves'. It's like you can't help yourselves. And it's that pointless defaulting to insanity that means there is virtually no point trying to cure you and your kind of your colossal ignorance and of your arrogant handwaving of perfectly good evidence.
