"The question of how technically such a mass murder was possible should not be raised. It was technically possible because it occurred... There is not nor can there be a debate over the existence of the gas chambers." ---a group of 34 French intellectuals in French daily Le Monde
[The notable ones are The Leuchter Report; the Rudolf Report; Richard Krege Report (ground radar at Treblinka) not forgetting the aerial Ball Report. It is very telling that no government forensic examinations have ever been conducted (or seen the light of day) of the gas chambers or Mass graves. Or a reconstruction of the crime, as they know it is absurd that you could make gas chambers out of morgues, or even gas shelters and disinfection rooms.]

Dr. William Lindsey, an American research chemist employed for 33 years by
the Dupont Corporation, likewise personally inspected the so-called gas
chambers, said Weber. In a 1985 court case Lindsey testified under oath that the
Auschwitz gassing story is physically impossible. Based on his careful
examination of the alleged gas chambers at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek, and
on his years of experience, he declared: "I have come to the conclusion that no
one was willfully or purposefully killed with Zyklon B [hydrogen cyanide] in
this manner. I consider it absolutely impossible."
Similarly, said Weber, a leading
Austrian engineer, Walter Lüftl, declared in March 1992 that the stories of mass
extermination of Jews in gas chambers at Auschwitz and Mauthausen are
"technically impossible." Lüftl, a court-recognized engineer, heads a large
engineering firm in Vienna. At the time his report was made public, he was
president of the Austrian Engineers Chamber, a four thousand member professional
association. (See the Winter 1992-93 Journal, pp. 391-420.)
German chemist Germar Rudolf
similarly published a detailed report on the supposed gas chambers of Auschwitz,
including Birkenau. His 1993 report, Weber said, is based on an on-site
investigation, chemical analysis of samples, and meticulous research. Rudolf, a
certified chemist and doctoral candidate, worked at the renowned Max Planck
Institut research center in Stuttgart. "For chemical-physical reasons," Rudolf
concluded, "the claimed mass gassings with hydrocyanic acid in the alleged 'gas
chambers' in Auschwitz did not take place ... The supposed facilities for mass
killing in Auschwitz and Birkenau were not suitable for this purpose."

The Weber-Shermer Clash
As evidence both of the mentality of our adversaries, and of the progress that has been made in recent years. Weber cited the public declaration issued in February 1979 by 34 French scholars. "The question of how technically such a mass murder was possible should not be raised," they stated. "It was technically possible because it occurred.... There is not nor can there be a debate over the existence of the gas chambers." Today, and largely in response to revisionist skepticism, individuals such van Pelt, Pressac and Shermer are earnestly investigating precisely this "question of how technically such a mass murder was possible."

It should also be remembered that a man may be overcome by the
absorption of hydrocyanic gas through the skin; a concentration of 2
percent hydrocyanic acid gas being sufficient to thus overcome a man in
about 10 minutes. Therefore, EVEN IF ONE WEARS A GAS MASK, exposure to
concentrations of hydrocyanic gas of 1 percent by volume or greater
should be made only in case of necessity and then FOR A PERIOD NO LONGER
THAN 1 MINUTE AT A TIME. In general, places containing this gas should
be well ventilated with fresh air before the wearer of the mask enters,
thus reducing the concentration of hydrocyanic gas to low fractional
percentages.
......Unfortunately I must say in their defense that even some
intelligent technicians and even some well-informed chemists imagine
that almost any small place can easily be transformed into a homicidal
"gas chamber." None of those people has had the chance to visit an
American gas chamber. They would understand the enormity of their error.
The first Americans who thought about executing a condemned man by gas
also imagined that it would be easy. It was when they tried to actually
do it that they understood that they risked gassing not only the
condemned man but also the governor and the employees of the
penitentiary. They needed many years to perfect a nearly reliable gas
chamber. FOREWORD to The Leuchter Report -by Dr. Robert
