even worse. Now the proponents of the theory have to prove not only
the original thesis but the support thesis as well, which in addition requires
proof for two claims. In anticipation of your objections, let me
add here that no one will contest the fact that a retreating army, approaching
defeat, could and would potentially destroy all kinds of
things – and not just evidence of crimes but on principle everything that
could be helpful to the enemy. And there is also no dispute about the
fact that criminals attempt to destroy evidence of their crimes. However,
this does not relieve the scientist of the duty to gather evidence. As a
result of the destruction of evidence, this may well be more difficult,
which is surely tragic. But the absence of evidence is no substitute for
evidence, and this absence can most certainly not serve to undergird
incriminating claims. In addition I may point out that the auxiliary theory
of a complete destruction of evidence by the SS is not true, as is
proven by the Soviet capture of the complete archives of the Central
Construction Office of Auschwitz or of the War Archives of the Waffen
SS in Prague by the Red Army.
Karl Popper systematically investigated the diverse methods of immunizing
theories. 93 He described four main tactics used to immunize
theories, which are all unscientific, that is inadmissible, and which I
will describe in the following:
1. Support theses that make testing difficult or impossible
Example 1:
Arno Mayer, Professor of Modern Jewish History at Princeton University,
has written a summary of what one could call the credo of
“Holocaust” research (analogous to Simone Veil): 94
“Sources for the study of the gas chambers are at once rare and
unreliable. Even though Hitler and the Nazis made no secret of their
war on the Jews, the SS operatives dutifully eliminated all traces of
their murderous activities and instruments. No written orders for
gassing have turned up thus far. The SS not only destroyed most
camp records, which were in any case incomplete, but also razed
nearly all killing and crematory installations well before the arrival
of Soviet troops. Likewise, care was taken to dispose of the bones
and ashes of the victims.”
