The principal investigator and author of this report on design and
fabrication of execution hardware has specifically worked on and designed
hardware in the United States used in the
execution of condemned persons by means of hydrogen cyanide gas.
The investigator has inspected the facilities at Auschwitz, Birkenau and
Majdanek, made measurements, taken forensic samples, reviewed design and
procedural literature on DEGESCH delousing chambers and procedures, Zyklon
B gas, and materials on execution procedures. Much of the reviewed material
was literature purchased and viewed at the sites in Poland, including copies
of original drawings of Kremas I, II, III, IV and V.
