THE RUDOLF REPORT

GERMAR RUDOLF · THE RUDOLF REPORTFig. 42: Schematic drawing of thelocation and size of the spots (3)on the roof of morgue 1 (the ‘gaschamber’) of crematorium II (1)visible on the air photos, as wellas the location (2) of the onlyholes to be found today. 250If the Zyklon B introduction stacks really possessed the dimensionsof 70 cm (2 1 / 3 ft) on each side as described by the eyewitnesses,this cannot be reconciled with the spots on the air photo, which areapproximately 2 to 3 m 2 in area (20-23 ft 2 ). It must be noted that thechimneys of the inmate barracks as well as the large crematoriumchimneys are rich in contrast, symmetrical, and straight. The spots onmorgue 1 of both crematoria, by contrast, form an angle of approximately75-80° (crematorium III) or 80-90° (crematorium II, irregular)to the arrangement of the main wing of crematorium II (see schematicdrawing Fig. 41). If these spots were objects of any kind, they wouldhave to exhibit the same alignment as the shadows of the crematoriumchimney of crematorium II, the chimney of an inmate barracks, andother sharply conspicuous parts of the picture. The actual shadows, incontrast to the spots above, form a 45° angle to the main direction ofcrematoria II and III (see Fig. 41).We know that the crematorium chimney of crematorium II was15 m high. 180 It throws a shadow on the picture which is five times aslong as the spots on the roof of morgue 1 (‘gas chamber’) of crematoriumIII (length of shadow of chimney: 20 m, that is, the angle of thesun was approximately 37°, length of the spots on morgue 1 (‘gaschamber’) of crematorium III: approximately 4 m). This means simplythat the alleged Zyklon B introduction stack must have projected 3 mabove the roof of morgue 1 (‘gas chambers’) of crematorium III in orderto cast such long shadows, which may be ruled out as impossible.Absence of spatial height, irregular shape, incorrect size (lengthand width), and wrong, irregular direction of the spots therefore provedefinitively that these spots are not the shadows of any objects, nor can250 Figure 42 was taken from the Air Photo Evidence website (air-photo.com/altered/altered.html)with John C.
