Hard physical work with gas masks,but without protective clothes, i.e., the alleged removal of the bodies,would not have been possible in less than 1 1 / 2 to 2 hours.If assuming the existence of Zyklon B introduction devices whichallowed the removal of Zyklon after the end of the gassing, the resultingdata would, of course, look dramatically different, see Table 12.Under such circumstances, it might have been possible to enter the ‘gaschamber’ with a gas mask for hard labor already after 30 to 45 minutes,and without a gas mask within one to two hours. This would thenlie at least within the range of some less extravagant eyewitness accounts.That explains also, why Pressac and van Pelt insist on the existenceof these introduction columns, contrary to all physical evidenceand despite the lack of any documentary proof and reliable witnesstestimony. Without those introduction columns, however, the scenariosdescribed by eyewitnesses regarding a swift removal of the corpsesfrom the ‘gas chamber’ after the gassing are simply impossible.These are, of course, only calculated guesses; if one were to askTable 12: Some values of the ventilation efficiency of ahypothetical homicidal ‘gas chamber’, with Zyklon B removed fromchamber, see text.
