those fit for work, in the General Government – who took the decision,
when, and why?
On the other hand, the western Jews quietly continued to be deported
to Riga and Minsk 833 without those unfit for work being assassinated.
The “Summary report for 16 October 1941 to 31 January 1942” of Einsatzgruppe
A states that, as far as Riga and Minsk were concerned, by
the final date of the report 20,000 Jews had been taken to Riga and
7,000 to Minsk and housed in reception camps. Some 70-80% were
women, children, and old people, but still there were no mass executions;
only “in individual cases Jews having a contagious disease were
[…] selected and executed.” 834
But the Holocaust thesis contains further complications: The chemist
Helmut Kallmeyer mentioned by Wetzel in his letter was described at
the trial of the physicians as “the technical expert on operation of the
gas chambers in the euthanasia station.” 835 Nevertheless, he took no part
in the planning or the construction of the alleged gas chambers of Aktion
Reinhardt, although all the prerequisites for such a participation
apparently existed. On 6 September 1941 he was transferred to the euthanasia
headquarters at Tiergartenstrasse in Berlin and remained there
“unemployed” through January of 1942. In January or February of 1942
he was ordered to go to Lublin, where he presented himself to an office
of the police or the SS, but was not given any specific assignment. After
a week he was sent back to Berlin to do analytical work on drinking water.
836
The task of planning and building the alleged gas chambers is
claimed to have instead been entrusted to SS-Scharführer (staff sergeant)
Lorenz Hackenholt for Beec, to him and SS-Unterscharführer
(sergeant) Erwin Lambert for Treblinka, and to the same pair for the enlargement
of the “gassing station” at Sobibór. 837 They are reported to
have been helped by a mysterious chemist named Blaurock or Blaubacke.
