6. Appendices<br />

Appendix 1: Images of Alleged “<strong>Gas</strong> <strong>Vans</strong>”<br />

See my comments in chapter 2.1.<br />

Illustration 12: Photo taken by a Polish investigation commission<br />

showing a derelict moving truck (acc. to Halbersztadt;<br />

http://dss.ucsd.edu/-lzamosc/chelm00.htm; also cropped at<br />

Deceptively mislabeled by Gerald Fleming as a “<strong>Gas</strong> van used to liquidate<br />

Jews at the Kulmhof (Chemno) extermination camp and near<br />

Konitz” (1984, plate 7, after p. 92). In late 2010 the Internet encyclopedia<br />

Wikipedia had this photo posted on seven(!) entries with the<br />

false caption “<strong>Gas</strong> Van in Chemno extermination camp” (<strong>Gas</strong> van;<br />

Einsatzgruppen; Chemno extermination camp; Walter Rauff;<br />

Sajmište concentration camp; Wilhelm Rediess; August Becker).
