Anyone posting anti-holocaust propaganda expect that your replies will be deleted.

i have just watched this film and i have got to say that whatever the intentions of the film-maker mr leuchter comes off much better than his detactors and persecutors and david irving's observations are spot on.

The man who designed the gas chambers is a fake scientist ?

@irvingchris313

Money is my first guess. Maybe he sought his 15 minutes in fame as well. Would be far from the the first time that happened. He basicly destroyed his life with commissioned work for $10.000. What I dont is his enormous naivity thinking he could get off with presenting himself in a court as a expert witness solely based on fabricated credentials and blatant fraud.

This movie is fascinating to me. It starts with this completely harmless (although, morbid) individual who seems destined to a life of blue-collar mediocrity, but he devolves into this strange and pathetic witness for historical revision who seems so completely unaware of what harm his actions are really causing. I don't believe he should be pitied at all, and one must remember that Morris may have interpreted his depiction on screen to be much more harmless than he actually is.

freddie knows nothing. He said that 3 states asked him for help concerning their execution facilities. 2 never heard of him and the one in Missouri was never built.

October 13, 1990 New York Times "self-proclaimed execution expert" was charged today in a Middlesex County District Court with fraudulently practicing engineering. June 13, 1991 New York Times ...agreement with prosecutors= to "serve two years' probation for practicing engineering without a license. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEEEEE

@densaner77 although I do not believe in holocaust denial there is an issue with those testimonies. Some "facts" were not correct and some things did not make sense. it is likely and in some cases confirmed that the accused made deals with the prosecutors reduce their sentences.

[jrwel14]

When Leuchter was asked about the fact that it takes more HCN to kill lice that Humans. He stated,"Would not know about that. Have never killed insects."

@neoublie67 How? Only if, like the ego-driven Leuchter himself, you refuse to accept anything that doesn't fit with your own uneducated opinion. The film is a brilliant study of a pseudoscientist. There are plenty of them here on Youtube.

I saw this movie and was horrified at this guy's junk science. Just goes to show how dangerous it is to educate idiots.

Holocaust denial is ludicrous: it ignores the fact that British Intelligence was decoding the German Enigma messages. The British decoded these messages from Hitler's office to the field. Hence they had info. about the Holocaust during the War, although they lost the ability thru much of 1942 as the Nazis changed their Enigma settings. The British did intercept a message about the "Hoefle telegram" and the progress of the Holocaust, but the message was not understood and filed away.
