every time. Losses of poison by inhalation would have to be compensated by
additional poison, because the high overdoses in the air had to be maintained.
This apart from the fact that the initially rapidly increasing concentration of
the poison gas does not come to a standstill once the last victim has succumbed
to it. After all, by then the Zyklon B has released only some 5-10% of
its poison. It will continue to release its poison after that, so that the poison
concentration will keep rising, and even fast so, once the breathing of the victims
slowed down or came to a standstill.
An almost complete incorporation of all hydrogen cyanide by the victims
requires that at least some of the victims stay alive throughout the entire period
during which Zyklon B releases its poison (2 hours). This would mean
that only such a tiny amount of poison was to be administered that there is just
enough to kill those standing for some two hours at the walls, which were farthest
away from the poison source. But those victims would have suffocated
much earlier due to lack of oxygen, because after all, the gas chambers are
claimed to have been sealed hermetically and packed full with people. Under
such conditions, death through suffocation would have occurred within some
45 to 60 minutes even without any poison gas. 24 Wellers’ scenario does therefore
not only contradict all witness testimonies, it does also not make any
sense. Why should the SS have wasted its precious Zyklon B, if the people
would have suffocated in those chambers anyway?
Back to what the witnesses claim, namely swift gassings with large overdoses
of poison. If that was the case, I need to ask Dr. George Wellers, how he
wants to immediately open and evacuate a room after an immediate and successful
gassing of all victims, if such a gassing required a poison gas concentration
many hundred times higher than the minimal lethal concentration?
It would also be nice to find out, with what kind of apparatus Dr. Wellers
wants to prevent the myriads of hydrogen cyanide molecules to accumulate in
the cool and wet walls of the morgues. After all, hydrogen cyanide loves cool
and moist walls much more than the warm human skin.
The few chemical questions Dr. Wellers addressed in his article once more
raise the question of his competence. He states, for instance, that Leuchter is
right when claiming that it was necessary to heat a room beyond the boiling
temperature of hydrogen cyanide in order to transform it into its gaseous aggregate
state (p. 234). This is of course nonsense. After all, water does not
wait to evaporate until temperatures have exceeded 100°C either.
The article discussed here is characterized by a total lack of calculations or
references to technical or scientific literature, just like Wellers’ initially mentioned
contribution in the collective work by E. Kogon et al. The only exception
is a reference to a pamphlet of the Merck Company on the toxicity of hy-
