An important Revisionist claim is as follows: "Zyklon B was a fumigant.
It was not a practical agent for mass murder."
A big deal is made by the Holocaust Promotion Lobby about all the many invoices
they have found for a delousing compound.
So what?
Lice, which carried deadly diseases like typhus, were a horrific sanitation
problem during WW II for friend and enemy alike. As a matter of fact, refugees
and soldiers alike, just like concentration camp inmates, were routinely
and periodically deloused.
(And, by the way, their hair was shorn as well to make delousing easier.
There were a lot of "skin heads" in those days . . . your worthy
ZGram writer / editor having been one!
I well remember being periodically shorn like a sheep during lulls in the
war - a utilitarian measure that made the itching stop!
I'm itching even now, remembering . . . )
The German Army, the SS, German civilian companies, hospitals, factories,
ships, what have you - all used this Zyklon B compound during the war to
get rid of vermin. All of them were issued invoices. The German Wehrmacht
had stacks and stacks of them. Does that mean the German Army killed all
of its own soldiers? Does it mean the hospitals killed patients?
Nonsense!
Zyklon B was a very effective means for killing vermin used in many armies,
including the US Army, well into the 1970s. Check them for invoices!
Even more to the point, and even more telling, is the fact that there are
lots and lots of invoices for Zyklon B for German concentration camps like
Oranienburg and Theresienstadt - WHERE NO ONE CLAIMS PEOPLE WERE GASSED.
All these "incriminating" invoices, whether for the Army or the
civilian concentration camps, prove only one thing: The Germans wanted to
save lives - their own and their enemies' lives! - by killing lice and other
deadly vermin.
And for that eminently sane, sensible and necessary public health measure
in times of utter chaos and disintegration during the war, Germany's World
War II leaders were imprisoned, tried, convicted and hanged after the war!
