burning of wood results in about 6-10% ashes” 396 with an average of
8%. Therefore the ash mentioned is furnished by (290÷0.08=) 3,625 kg
of wood, yielding a specific consumption of 3.6 kg per kg of carcass
weight.
Similar data are provided by the description of the incineration of
poultry in Virginia: 2,268 tons of carcasses were burned by means of
10,000 tons of wood, 397 i.e. using 4.4 kg of wood per kg of carcass
weight.
In Carlo Mattogno’s experiments with waste beef, a weight ratio of
wood/flesh of 2.6 was needed in a makeshift closed furnace, of 3.1 in an
open furnace and of 3.5 in a pit. 398
For the mass cremation of corpses the above data allow us to assume
a ratio of 3.5 on a weight by weight basis. The wood required to burn
the corpse of an average deportee with a weight of 60 kg would thus be
about 210 kilograms.
5.3.4. Decomposed Bodies
The above data concern fresh corpses. However, as we have seen
above, 80,000 of the alleged 169,000 victims at Sobibór were initially
buried. Later on, from October of 1942 onwards, they were exhumed
and incinerated. The remainder of 89,000 victims was, instead, incinerated
immediately.
The carcass of a dead adult sheep of a weight of 50 kg releases 7 – 8
kg of body fluid over the first week after its death, and 14 – 16 kg over
the first two months; an adult cow of an initial weight of 500 to 600 kg
will lose 80 and 160 kg respectively. 399 However, loss of body fluids
will continue for months. According to another source, “animal leachate
e.g. body fluids from carcasses are released (about 0.1 m 3 per adult
sheep and 1.0 m 3 per adult cow) within the first year, and gas.” 400 Dyan
