You undersell his credentials. Fred Leuchter was the leading execution technician in the US. When Errol Morris screened the original cut of his documentary Mr. Death at Harvard, most of the students agreed with Leuchter by the end, so he had to redo the whole thing.

Sooner or later the German people are going to wake up and realize so much of what they were accused of and have accepted blame for was lies. It might take a while because the liars made it illegal to question those lies in Europe but eventually the truth will filter through.

I have talked to several Europeans in the past year that seemed to have woken up recently. I also saw graffiti about the holocaust being fake in a pretty prominent place. Was quickly painted over though. I think it will accelerate in the coming years

It's pretty easy to gas people if you don't give a shit about humane treatment. All you gotta do is plug up the holes and go pump in the gas to incapacitate them. If it's sloppy and they survive just kill them while they are down. It's so easy people do it accidently in their own homes sometimes which is why we have carbon monoxide detectors.

All you need to gas someone is an enclosed space, and gas. You can do it with a plastic bag and a helium tank. Hell you can do it with just the plastic bag.

Cyanide isn't carbon monoxide. Cyanide is a pretty poor choice for what they supposedly would have used it for. It wouldn't have been quick, and the gas wouldn't dissipate for at least 24 hours after use. Carbon monoxide would also have been a better choice because of its availability, as it can be easily produced in large amounts from wood. In either case, as Leuchter testified, the open wiring would have presented a substantial fire hazard. Most of all, famously, cyanide produces vivid Prussian Blue stains in the presence of concrete and moisture. This is absent from the alleged gas chamber, and is only present in a small building which is claimed by all sides to have been used for the disinfestation of clothing.

So? Why would they care about safety in a death camp?

A better question is why they went through the trouble of shaving prisoners' heads and fumigating clothing to reduce the spread of typhus. The answer is that maybe, just maybe, it wasn't a death camp at all.

Because they sold the hair and clothing.

Who wants Jew hair? I'll pay good money to keep that shit away from me.

What's the cope for them asking for typhus vaccines from the US (which was repeatedly denied)?

Don't want your prisoners to die before you work them to do death.

Once you're ready to off them who cares about their safety? Ethical execution methods were far from a priority. Who cares if they are dead or not when sent to the oven?

Do any of the accounts of holocaust survivors ever mention the smell of bitter almond?
