Comments for "The Crucifixion of David Irving"
Thomas S said (September 22, 2017):
I believe the idea that large numbers of Jews were gassed is complete fiction. To have murdered so many people in that way would have required premises on a much larger scale than the ramshackle rooms we have been shown - even if those were indeed effective. I don't doubt that numerous Jews tragically died from disease, starvation and exposure in the Nazi prison camps. But I think the three million or six millions figures are simply guesswork - where are all the bodies for one thing?

Thanks Thomas
Curious that the only response has come from holocaust deniers. As I said, the truth which I think Irving is closest to, pleases no one.

While David Irving may be a brilliant historian he is not a holocaust revisionist. In fact Irving, when it comes to the holocaust, is a fraud and has been exposed as such by Al Baron who was one of the best revisionists I have come across.
Baron, after one encounter with Irving, exposed him as a lover of rent boys and handed the evidence to people working for the late Greville Jenner, a top Zionist in the UK who at the time had not yet been exposed as a paedophile, Baron was shown some incriminating photos of Irving and was told to forget the rent boy stuff as Irving was working for them.
In his legal fight with Lipstadt Irving took a dive. Many revisionists followed the trial and were surprised not by what he said but what he did not say.
Irving could have destroyed Lipstadt with available evidence but decided to stay shtum on many aspects of the so called holocaust.
When it comes to the holocaust Irving is not to be trusted.

great video of Irving, I must read/reread more of his books, though he doesnt seem to get it that Hitler was a British agent -which is why he was nice to Jews and British. - see MilesWMathis.com for his new one on Benito Mussolini, and his Jewish 30 yr girlfriend and him being a british agent too. not sure about Stalin at this stage, except he was also part Jewish and probably as Kaganovich, an actor in the 1911 sydney street riots, starring Churchill strutting around on silent film exactly like that businessman in the Beatles rooftop propaganda piece.

Is hard to believe in gas chamber. Why to kill with gas when you can kill by hungry ( great quantity of people, millions if neccesary) in 80 days or by thirst in just 8 days). Just avoid supply of water for 8 or 10 days. To made this in concentration camp is more easy that Stalin Kaganovich do in Ucrania with Ukranian population.
If it was an extermination plan why there are so many survivors??
Luis said (September 21, 2017):
Gas chambers did not exist. I got a quote at home of the guy who invented that lie. What existed were rooms where new prisionrers would be sprayed for typhus.
2 million? No chance; Red Cross International stated that not even three hundred thousand jews died, and none in gas chambers.
David C (2) said (September 20, 2017):
I should not have specifically stated it was "diesel" engines that were used, since they apparently used gas vans for the most part - that was erroneous, so thanks for correcting me. However, diesel fumes CAN kill, especially in the confined space of an enclosed room, (or truck/van) full of people. In some cases the Nazis apparently used refined carbon monoxide gas in larger gas chambers, which could have come from either type of engine. The use of Zyklon-B for murdering people is problematic though, as the gas chambers used in the USA to kill just one person at a time proved, and I've seen no convincing evidence cyanide gas was used to kill people. Zyklon-B was available though, so it was likely was used at least a few times, and possibly on a larger scale. Supposedly the Nazis demolished the real gas chambers with explosives, which makes sense. As someone with a Jewish mother, I've been researching the "Holocaust" and "Zionism" for many years, trying to understand what really happened. I've concluded that both sides are exaggerating, Holocaust deniers and Holocaust believers, because that's the tactic they use presently to get the two sides fighting with each other. The reason I stated "diesel engines" were used, was that I had just read this at a Holocaust website:
Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka
In 1942, systematic mass killing in stationary gas chambers (with carbon monoxide gas generated by diesel engines) began at Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka, all in Poland. As victims were "unloaded" from cattle cars, they were told that they had to be disinfected in "showers." The Nazi and Ukrainian guards sometimes shouted at and beat the victims, who were ordered to enter the "showers" with raised arms to allow as many people as possible to fit into the gas chambers. The tighter the gas chambers were packed, the faster the victims suffocated.
Kurt B said (September 20, 2017):
David C.’s contention that the Germans used “carbon monoxide from diesel engines†to kill people is untenable. Diesel exhaust is oxygen rich and would be terribly inefficient as a lethal agent.
Also, since there were no crematoria at any of the Operation Reinhard camps, disposal of the remains is problematic. The contemporary narrative is that the Germans first buried the corpses in massive pits then later dug them up and burned them. However, in the 1990’s an Australian team using ground penetrating radar examined several of the sites and found no evidence that the soil had been disrupted anywhere.
I can believe that the SS rounded up and shot many partisans toward the end of the war but to claim that there was a central plan of extermination fails to convince. 70 years after the end of the war there is no evidence of a plan, budget, disbursement records or blueprint of a homicidal gas chamber. We are supposed to believe it was all done with a wink and a wave.
I’ve read Irving and like his books although he seems too often contradict himself on the holocaust story.
David said (October 17, 2024):
I wish to contradict the statement "There was no mention of the "Holocaust" before 1972." I was aware of the narrative in the 60's. when i lived in Munich During that time, the story included, Lampshades, mattresses, and soap, which we believed, but all of which have been debunked. Irving's work gives me something to think about.
