AN AMERICAN OFFICER SPEAKS OUT

"I was in Dachau for 17 months after the war, as a U.S War Department Attorney, and can state that there were no gas chambers at Dachau. What was shown to visitors and sightseers there and erroneously described as a gas chamber was a crematory. Nor was there a gas chamber in any other the other concentration camps in Germany. We were told that there was a gas chamber at Auschwitz, but since this was in the Russian zone of occupation, we were not permitted to investigate since the Russians would not allow it. From what I was able to determine in six years of post-war Germany and Austria, there were a number of Jews killed, but the figure of a million was certainly never reached. I interviewed thousands of Jews, former inmates of concentration camps in Germany and Austria, and consider myself as well qualified on the subject as any man." Stephen F.Pinter, Sunday Visitor, June 14th 1959.

Although millions of gassings are said to have occurred, ‘no one has ever been charged with murder by gassing. That is, no one has ever been charged with operating the alleged gas chambers." John Bennett, Secretary; Victoria Council for Civil Liberties.

WHY THE CONFUSION?

After all, we are familiar with pictures of mounds of emaciated bodies piled high at some - not all - German internment camps. Yet equally undeniably there are countless photographs available even on display at Dachau today that show well clad inmates in obviously good health up to release. Even pictures taken at Belsen clearly show healthy inmates among the emaciated dead.

How then does this explain a Nazi program of genocidal intention being so patchy in its application? There can be only one explanation. These deaths were caused not by deliberate intent but by typhus and cholera. Such photographs as those taken at Bergen-Belsen could have been taken anywhere in Central Europe devastated by nightly 1,000 bomber raids and total war, when millions of civilians of many nations, Germany included, died through starvation and disease resulting in similar mounds of emaciated corpses.

GERMANY

By reason of heavy bombing road communications had been destroyed and no supplies had reached the camp (Belsen); typhoid fever ensued and hundreds of prisoners (Eastern European POWs) had died as a consequence. The allies arrived on the scene and found a terrible situation." The Golden Horizon, Weidenfeld and Nicholson, London.

"The German Army at Bergen had forewarned the British that a full-blown epidemic of typhus had broken out among the prisoners in the camp." In The Ruins of the Reich, George Allen & Unwin. London, 1985.

"Disease of all kinds was rife and in a vast number of cases it was difficult to tell which disease predominated - whether it was typhus, starvation, tubercle or a combination of all three, which was responsible for the shattered wrecks of human beings who formed the majority of the inmates....there had been no water for about a week owing to damage by (allied) shell fire to the electrical pumping equipment on which the system depended." Appendix ‘O’ Chapter. V11, Second Army History.

INDEPENDENT CZECHOSLOVAKIA

"A typhus epidemic now rages amongst them, (German civilian prisoners) and they are said to be dying at the rate of 100 a day." London Daily Mail, August, 6th, 1945. FREE FRANCE: "There is a typhoid epidemic in the camp (German POWs) which has already spread to the neighbouring village." The Progressive, January, 14th, 1946. "The only difference I can see between these men (German POWs) and those corpses is that here they are still breathing." Henry Griffin, AP photographer who had taken Buchenwald and Dachau pictures. AND IN BRITISH POW CAMPS IN BELGIUM: Conditions "not much better than Belsen" (German POWs) according to British Army officers.

WATCH OUT FOR PROPAGANDA LINKAGE

Invariably when such pictures are shown they are propaganda linked ‘as proof’ that the Germans had a policy of extermination. If we separate reality from the propaganda of the victors the fraud becomes clear.

The propagandists have been in retreat since 1945 when all camps were said to be extermination camps but in the light of scientific and objective analysis shown to be nothing of the kind. You may have noticed that much of the VE jamboree ‘concentration camp’ news coverage quietly dropped all reference to gas chambers.

Typically in 1946, a memorial plaque was unveiled at Dachau by Philip Auerbach, the Jewish State Secretary of the Bavarian Government. The plaque read: ‘This area is being retained as a shrine to the 238,000 individuals who were cremated here.’ Since then, this figure has consistently been revised downwards to its present total of 20,600, who it appears died from typhus and starvation at the end of the war. (Note: Auerbach has since been convicted for embezzling money which he claimed for non-existent Jews).

HOW CONVENIENT

It is now claimed that all the actual extermination camps coincidentally happen to be situated in those parts of Germany and Poland occupied by the Soviets. Dr. Martin Broszat, the anti-Nazi Director of the Institute of Contemporary History in Munich who can lay claim to being a major influence on the genocide issue, admitted in Die Zeit, (August, 19th, 1960) ‘that there were no extermination camps on German soil.’, and that instead, one had to look ‘above all to Auschwitz.’

How convenient then that this last redoubt of the propagandists was occupied by the Red Army, a bit of a dab hand at extermination itself, which never allowed outside inspection until 10 years after the war’s end. Gita Sereny, the Jewish holocaust historian admits: "Auschwitz, despite its emblematic name, was NOT primarily an extermination camp for the Jews and is not the central case through which to study extermination." The New Statesman, November, 2nd, 1979.

THE TRUTH IS ‘IRRELEVANT’

"A report that an Auschwitz building could not have been designed as a gas chamber is true but irrelevant." Dr. Raul Hilberg, Los Angeles Times, February, 23rd, 1989.

"Our detailed research (into the holocaust) however mostly establishes only how shaky is the ground we’re on: the consensus of research data often turns out only to be the result of everybody having uncritically copied what everybody else was writing; the actual documentary basis on many matters is frighteningly narrow and is in consequence easily shattered by some find or other. In all too many matters we are still groping in total darkness. If we are to avert being shown up, in the next few years historical research is going to have to do all it can not only to establish better documentary defences but broader-based ones as well." Dr. Hans-Heinrich Wilhelm, University of Riga, 1988.

"A large number of testimonials on file here were later proved to be inaccurate when locations and dates could not pass an expert historian’s appraisal." Shmuel Krakowski, Director Archives, Yad Vashem, Israel.

THE TESTIMONY OF THE TORTURED

Because ‘Survivor’ evidence has consistently been shown to be fraudulent the propagandists fall back on the ‘evidence’ of two prominent German administrators to support their claims. Rudolf Hoess, Commandant of Auschwitz from 1940 until his arrest by the British Army in 1945. Subjected to torture and brain-washing, ‘his testimony at Nuremberg was delivered in a mindless monotone as he stared blankly into space.’ Even Reitlinger regarded his testimony as hopelessly untrustworthy; a catalogue of wild exaggerations. These included his declaration that 16,000 Jews a day were disposed of - which would have meant 13 million in total. (Just short of the world’s total Jewish population of 15 million!)

Tortured, his statement appears in American-English idiom yet there is no evidence that Rudolf Hoess could speak any English at all. Tried at Nuremberg and handed over to the Polish Communists in 1947, he was ordered to write the story of his life which was published as Wspomniena in the Polish language. It is said that the hand-written original exists, but no one has ever seen it. The other major player being Oswald Pohl of the Economy and Administration Office: "Pohl had signed some incriminating statements after being subjected to severe torture including a bogus admission that he had seen a gas chamber at Auschwitz in the Summer of 1944." Senator McCarthy.

Professor Paul Rassinier, a French Marxist and committed anti-National Socialist was arrested by the Germans during the war and interned at Buchenwald and Dora concentration camps between 1943 and 1945. He has always been at the forefront in disproving the allegations of genocide. "I was in Auschwitz from January, 1944 until December, 1944. After the war I heard about the mass murders supposedly perpetrated by the S.S against the Jewish prisoners and I was perfectly astonished. There were no secrets at Auschwitz".

NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOAH BUSINESS

WHY? "Why then are they, the Israelis, obstructing all honest research into the six million question? All statistics will so long be controversial until world Jewry and Zionism will be willing to present to the public exact official statistics of the losses. The roadblock to research is due to the fact that from six million dead one can extract far more reparations than from say 6,000." Joseph Ginsburg, Jewish survivor/researcher. Munich.

"A very disturbing thing has happened to journalism, to the writing of history, and even to justice. In anything to do with the Nazis any attempt at detachment is considered suspect, any degree of objectivity reprehensible." Gite Sereny, April, 21st, 1988.

"Are the truths on which the Holocaust relies so flimsy that they need smears to protect them, coupled with prison sentences like those now imposed in Germany, Austria, and France...?" Auberon Waugh.

"Truth seeks the light, it doesn’t shun it." Horace Mann, American Educationalist.

"I hope my fellow Old Brentwoodian Jack Straw does introduce legislation to make it a criminal offence subject to a two-year jail sentence to question the Holocaust. That will bring everything out into the open. I shall claim the honour of being the first prosecuted by repeating the words for which I was fined £13,300 in Munich, banned from German territory and Second World War archives, namely ; ‘The gas chamber shown to the tourists at Auschwitz is a fake built after the war by the Polish communists.’ I assume a British court will permit us to call witnesses and evidence which the German courts denied us. (The Polish authorities have since admitted that the structure in question was built in 1948." David Irving, Historian. Sunday Times, 20th, October, 1996.

WISE WORDS FROM BRITAIN’S MOST ADMIRED POET, ROBBIE BURNS

"Here’s freedom to him who would speak, Here’s freedom to him who would write,
For there’s none ever feared that the truth should be heard,
Except he who the truth would indict."
