THE RUDOLF REPORT

GERMAR RUDOLF · THE RUDOLF REPORTtions, there were no large cremation ditches, no fuel stockpile, nodevelopment of smoke or flames. 449 Accordingly, the scenario ofdestruction is obviously false in this regard.• One thousand people occupy a surface area of at least 200 m 2 . Accordingto eyewitness testimonies, the farmhouses had only halfthis much surface area, at the most. 450• Chapter 7.1.: Hydrogen cyanide is a colorless, invisible gas.Therefore, no “blue vapor floating over the corpses” could beseen. This passage is a sign of pure fantasy, obviously suggestedby the German name of HCN, “Blausäure” (blue acid), whichonly relates, however, to the formation of the pigment Iron Blue.• Chapter 7.2.: Since the events described are alleged to have takenplace in winter, the rapidity of the procedure is incredible, sinceZyklon B only releases gas slowly at frost temperatures.• The described entry into chambers with a high concentration oftoxic gas without a protective filter is impossible; such a mannerof procedure would obviously sooner or later be fatal.German public prosecutor Willy Dreßen had the following to sayabout Böck’s testimony: 451“Dear Mr. […],I enclose a copy of the eyewitness testimonies of former members ofthe SS on the gassing of inmates at Auschwitz […] for your information.They are only a selection—there are numerous other such testimonies. Incontrast to yourself, I am of the opinion that these eyewitness testimoniesrelating to the fact of the occurrence of gassings of human beings, areentirely suitable to refute the denial of this fact.Faithfully, (Dreßen), Public Prosecutor”And yet again: “Dear Mr. […],[…] Furthermore, the testimony of B ö c k is only one of numeroussimilar statements […]Faithfully, (Dreßen), Public Prosecutor”449 See also J.C.
