While we wait (as we often must, patiently) for LGR's sources, let us take note of some odd points about his post claiming obvious fabrication of the Hingst order of 1 September 1941:
- the Hingst order did not purport to relate to a murder of several thousand Jews outside Ponar - the statement on the order was of collective Jewish responsibility for the so-called shooting incident the previous day and a curfew for Vilna's Jews - it is only other documentation, testimony, etc that link the order to the extermination action at Ponar that followed (the order is noted, by the way, in both Kruk's journal and Sakowicz's diary, and the action that followed is the one which Pesye Schloss and Yudis Trojak survived)
- the two documents appear to have been issued by different authorities - Hingst was the German-installed commissioner for Vilna (Gebeitskommissar for the city under German occupation, installed in late July 1941), while Dabulevicius was Lithuanian mayor of Vilna - LGR did not make this difference, that these orders appear to have been issued under 2 different authorities, clear in his post nor did he explain why we should expect a city order issued by the Lithuanians to match a German order issued by the German civil administration
- the Lithuanian announcement appears to have been one in a numbered series of regular bureaucratic orders while the Hingst order is made to appear ad hoc, for the purpose of combating the so-called provocation, presented as an unexpected incident - again, it is a mystery to me, at least, why these two very different kinds of orders issued by two different authorities should form an identical pair - LGR's suggestive post ignores these realities, to put it mildly
- there is no logic to LGR's argument that a postwar fabrication would be hasty - he hasn't begun to explain the context driving for such a fabrication or its need to be done in haste - nor has he, after so many months, begun to undertake making the positive case (names, dates, actions, locations, etc) for the infamous Moscow Forgery Factory that seems to exist in his bountiful imagination
One thing there should be no trouble at all discerning in LGR's post is its mendacity. I hope that this is little picture enough for him and his games.
