SANTIAGO ALVAREZ, THE GAS VANS 103 the van. Hence any use of producer gas for homicidal gassing purposes would have been very difficult during transit. Either the gas could be used for fueling the engine or for gassing people. Using the gas for both operations at once, that is to say, splitting it between engine and cargo box, would have reduced the engine’s power even more and up to a critical point. <strong>The</strong>refore this potential ersatz theory to rescue the “gas van” claims founders in view of the fact that all witness statements speak of the exhaust gas being piped into the cargo box during transit, as we will see later. (For a hypothetical design of such a producer gas murder van see Ill. 27 on p. 379.) Berg has not only shown that half a million of Germany’s trucks and vans were equipped with these generators during the war, but also that every truck and van driver had to be specifically trained to use these generators, as their gas was extremely dangerous. So any truck driver in Germany would have known how to quickly get access to cheap poison gas for mass murder. And not only the truck drivers, but also the entire elite of the Third Reich, who were involved in campaigns to promote this technology in Germany’s desperate attempt to keep its rolling fleet mobile in the face of an extreme dearth of petroleum (Rudolf 2003, pp. 459-467). So how come that anyone could come up with the ridiculous claim that Diesel engine exhaust gas was used for mass murder instead of producer gas? Well, the producer gas technology had been a recent German development and had probably not sunk into the consciousness of those spreading the story. <strong>The</strong> Diesel engine, in contrast, was a German invention of the late 19th century und was therefore well-known Illustration 4: Saurer BT 4500 with producer gas generator. A Saurer truck similar to this type allegedly was used for mass murder in Kulmhof/Chemno – not with producer gas, but incredibly with its exhaust gas (Rudolf 2003, p. 461).
104 SANTIAGO ALVAREZ, THE GAS VANS during World War II. Claiming the use of huge Diesel engines might simply have sounded more German, and during and after World War II anything “German” equaled evil.
