Unlike the death camps at Bełzeć, Chełmno and Sobibór where a variety of means of transport were used to deliver the victims to the gas, people were brought to Treblinka almost uniquely by train.
The camp is situated very close to the main line that used to link Warsaw with Bialystok, Grodno, Wilna and also offered good communications from the capital to Kielce and Czestochowa amongst other places.
The victims were brought to Małkinia and then brought to be gassed.
In August 1942 the organisation was so bad that many victims died in the trains as the gas chambers failed to keep up with the killing.
This film shows the railway station at Malkinia and the line leading into the death camp.

Yes, thank you , Mr Heath, amazing work. I hope one day you will come to the USA and document by video some of the injustices (although on a lesser scale) that exist here. After 9-11 they have become more wary of people filming in public places, though.

Obviously I would like to do as much as I can but there is a limit. However I have mentioned the fate of the native Americans in a couple of the films I made in the USA!

Thanks for a great vid, Alan. I wonder if I could pick your brains? Much has been made of the 'diesel engine' controversy, but as I understand it there is no direct evidence to suggest that diesels were ever used at Treblinka; in all likelihood the supposed 'diesels' were in fact petrol engines. Is that correct, or is there documentary proof that they were used?

[alanheath]

@MSM4U2POM The engine used at Belzec almost certain came from a Soviet BT tank. As for Treblinka it may have been a French tank engine but it may have been a BT tank engine also. Deputy commandant Karl Frank said that it was a petrol engine when in prison in correspondence with a friend of mine. Only the BT 7M (also called BT8) had a diesel engine - all others had petrol.

Gustav Münzberger, an SS man who worked in the extermination area of the camp, testified after the war: * "When all the chambers were filled with about 3,000 Jews, the heavy wooden doors were fastened with iron bolts. Now I went through the corridor, opened the door to the engine room, and gave a sign to Schmitz or Zänker to start both diesel engines. The Russian T-34 tank engines were started by three Ukrainians and a Jew."

@MrScumwhisperer I am aware of this testimony. Kurt Franz in private correspondence whilst in jail with my friend Michael Tregenza indicated that the engine was petrol driven but the fuel used is often confused by people who do not use engines. Gustav Münzberger was certainly in a better position to know as he was directly involved in the killing process.

Alan,

thank you for your detailed videos. thank you for defending the truth against small minded thugs. you seem to know so much and as I intend to visit all these sites next year, this has been a great source of research for me... again, thank you sir!!

Holocaust deniers are loons.You can't reason with people who are devoid of reason.

[stalag58]

Treblinka yes that was a very good death camp very efficient extermination camp. Almost as good as Mauthausen.. MMMMMMMMM I can almost smell the burning flesh makes my mouth water. yeeeeessss

[paolosilv]

@alanheath Well thank you, although much is already known about them. I was hoping someone would make a video contrasting suburban and inner city life, to show the economic injustice presently existing. A kind of 'day in the life' film.

I saw turists doesent have respect to people which died there. Im a Slovenian and we organised morning wreath laying. Italian neonacist nearly killed me that day and im 16, they dont like us because we are indigenous people who live in Trieste. It's our land if u take a look at historic facts. But Italians always win it doesent make a difference if they are on the loosing side, allies awarded them with our land because they were fighting antifacists at the end of the world war 2

[alanheath]

I have not been to San Sabba although I talk about it in one of my films from north eastern Italy - this is where most of the Bug murderers ended up including Wirth, Hackenhold, Allers and the rest.

I will definitely visit the next time I am somewhere close to Trieste!
