Some views with comments, of Crematorium II at Auschwitz Birkenau, the former German death camp in Poland.


Please take a look at Video History Today http://www.videohistorytoday.com , the first web site to offer unique collections of re-usable original video clips designed for teachers and students.

The idea behind Video History Today is to give schools the raw material to make mini-documentaries and video essays on historical subjects.

Initial packages focus on World War I (Somme and Ieper areas), The Holocaust, the American Civil War and D-Day & Normandy 1944.

  • Krematorium IIIn this complex, I observed that the building with the furnace room and its ancillary rooms is entirety completed, as is the large corpse cellar 1.

    Corpse cellar 2 is completed as far as possible apart from removal of the formwork for the ceiling, work which depends on there being no frost. The 5 3-muffle incineration furnaces are ready and are at present being warmed through for drying. Inspection report of 29/1/43 by Engineer Prüfer of Messrs Topf & Son--Pressac

  • "Auschwitz commandant denied gassings & murdered for it"

    We know this because there is no denial and he died of natural causes. Having died, a full, false, planted confession was considered, but vague ambiguity was felt to be the better option.

    Mengele denied "camp conditions" which is why they won't publish his memoirs.

    A German magazine had them, historians have seen them and they went on sale in an open auction. These are always the best ways of ensuring nothing gets out.

  • Baer autopsy supplementary comment:

    "The ingestion of an odourless, non-corrosive poison… cannot be ruled out.”

    The object of the ellipsis will shortly be auctioned off to ensure it never gets out.

  • @lynchie3000

    Leave it for another time, mate. The brightness seems to be dimming.

  • @timpovikings

    They will not published anything *about Auschwitz* from those journals before 2020, not a sausage.

    Baer was in a prison when he died Tim. Further inquiry into his death wasn't made. The autopsy report which stated "The ingestion of an odourless, non-corrosive poison...cannot be ruled out." did not seem to interest the chief prosecutor.

  • Amen.

  • @lynchie3000

    A conspiracy theory would be a thesis which says a document wasn't published specifically because of content you've never laid eyes on bright lad.

  • @lynchie3000

    I'll reword that. Why does that mention of an unknown substance not include the possibility of suicide.

    I have no theory, mate. Suicide or otherwise. You're the one making the emphatic claims of items you haven't ever seen. I'm trying to understand why he couldn't have taken something.

    Talk of Berkshire, Zyklon and even sausages would be superfluous in these circumstances, mate.

  • @lynchie3000

    You should have stopped at 'Amen'.

    Why does mention of a colourless substance in a dead man's stomach mean murder only?

  • @timpovikings

    Extracts did appear in 1985.

    Nice conspiracy theory on Baer you're developing there. How'd he get the poison do you think? Did he keep some Zyklon B crystals up his arse, for old time's sake?

    I bet you the Royal County of Berkshire (which I'll have to buy first), that these journals are not published in their entirety before 2020.

    Eichmann admitted a lot. Including that he didn't give Hoettl the 6m figure, which you have now finally admitted is true.
