RSS– Eichmann claims to have witnessed mass slaughter on a grand scale at Auschwitz in the fall of 1941, where the camp commandant, Rudolf Hoess, informed him that the great, factory-like buildings, the chimneys of which belch smoke, are “working to capacity: Ten thousand!”
This is months before the Auschwitz typhus control crematoria were constructed, let alone in use.
– Eichmann talks of Treblinka – but then he’s not sure if it’s Treblinka – where he says gassings were being carried out with a submarine engine (diesel); he claims at places near Minsk and Lemberg, mass shootings were taking place, including one mass grave from which he said:
“blood was gushing out … like a geyser”.
IOW, he copied Wiesel who said the same absurd thing.
Also interesting what the Auschwitz Order Book had actually to say:

Can you spot a Holocaust there? I can’t.
“Ironically, Germany’s Jews would up with one of the higher rates of national survival among the various Jewish populations of Europe because of this.”
Must be alleged survival rates. The different death counts are certainly grossly exaggerated for propaganda purposes.
