GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

that “the primitive” could under circumstances be “more efficient than<br />

the modern,” while giving as an example the allegedly primitive, yet<br />

superior Soviet battle tank T34. It may be doubted that the expert witness<br />

is in a position to define the terms “primitive” and “efficient” in a<br />

technical sense, let alone substantiate his claim, even if he wanted to.<br />

The excusable and understandable incompetence of the expert witness<br />

on technical questions is also apparent from his Addendum of 5 Feb.<br />

2006, where he mentions an allegedly newly discovered document on<br />

the claimed capacity of the crematoria in Auschwitz (Addendum, p. 2).<br />

But the capacity of crematories does specifically not result from documents<br />

– and also not from arbitrary factors of French pharmacists, as<br />

the expert witness suggests (Pressac’s “division by four,” ibid.) – but<br />

from technical and thermodynamic calculations or experiments. This<br />

passage proves furthermore the expert witness’s lack of expertise about<br />

matters of content, because he obviously does not know the possibly<br />

most important source critical work on the issue of the authenticity of<br />

the document in question about the capacity of the crematoria in<br />

Auschwitz. 296 The document in question has moreover not been “recently<br />

discovered” but has been known since the 1950s. 297 The expert witness<br />

seems to be just as unaware that, contrary to his claim (Addendum,<br />

p. 2), the cremation capacity then planned for Auschwitz was by no<br />

means higher than that of other camps in the “Reich proper,” if correlating<br />

it to the planned camp strength or to the mortality rate. 298<br />

Regarding the question whether the demographic investigations of<br />

third persons (Benz, Sanning) 299 set out from “premises worthy of critique”<br />

or reach “methodically […] questionable results” (p. 28), it is not<br />

evident either why the expert witness should be more competent than<br />

the investigating Court.<br />

On pages 36f. the expert witness far exceeds his area of competence<br />

when demanding that everyone has to feel “shame,” “agony,” “dejection”<br />

and “despondence” while reading certain documents or books. It<br />
