The Gas Vans: A Critical Investigation - Holocaust Handbooks

SANTIAGO ALVAREZ, THE GAS VANS 273
able to scrutinize many more sources than were available to Marais, my
own verdict is basically the same:
There are still no material traces of these vehicles and no photos.
The forensic findings about claimed gassing victims presented during
communist show trials are not worth the paper they are written
on.
None of Marais’s reasons to doubt the authenticity of the key documents
alleged to prove the gas vans’ existence have ever been addressed,
let alone refuted, and I have found more such reason to suspect
foul play.
The few additional documents not known to Marais which I have
analyzed here have increased the impression that such documents
are either ambiguous (Activity Report by Einsatzgruppe B) or highly
suspicious (the Turner letter).
The contradictory and at times absurd nature of witness testimony,
already demonstrated by Marais, has been revealed in an even more
glaring light in this study.
All this does not prove that gas vans never existed. But then again,
having no evidence for the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster
doesn’t refute its existence either. He who wants to believe will always
do so. However, he who wants to have unequivocal evidence will not
find it – for now.
