d. Udo Walendy
The German political scientist Udo Walendy, editor and publisher of the
German historiographical series Historische Tatsachen (Historical Facts), has
dealt with Treblinka in two issues of this periodical. No. 12 (1982) analyzes,
inter alia, the 1964–1965 Düsseldorf trial of former members of the staff of
the Treblinka camp. 103 In it, Walendy pointedly attacks the legal basis of this
trial and exposes numerous absurdities in the arguments supporting the verdict.
We reproduce an excerpt from his commentary here: 104
“50 SS men manage, with the assistance of a tank engine, to kill approximately
700,000 people within a year and to remove all traces. That is
14,000 per SS guard, or just 40 per day, a total for all 50 of 2,000 per day.
But wait: according to other claims […], it was supposed to be 8,000 or
30,000 daily! Note well: per day!
With all this, these people still had time to pause for sadistic atrocities
and continually invent new ones, with or without riding crops. To be sure,
the normal life of the camp broke down, but obviously everything functioned,
from the disinfection of the women’s shorn hair, to the separation
of the Stars of David from the clothing, from the burning of the bodies,
which had already been buried in large mass pits, to the total elimination
of all traces, including sifting the ashes, crushing of the bones, and mixing
the ashes with the soil as well as leveling the whole camp. […] Neither attorneys
nor experts, jurors, judges, ‘historians,’ or newspaper writers have
burdened themselves with worrying about any of the technical impossibilities
that are becoming obvious here – and add to this in the midst of war
with a 50-man German guard detachment .”
Issue no. 44 of the Historische Tatsachen, which appeared eight years
later, was devoted exclusively to the Treblinka camp and thus was titled “Der
Fall Treblinka” (The Case of Treblinka). 105 Walendy began by citing passages
from W. Grossmann’s grotesque writing Die Hölle von Treblinka (The Hell of
Treblinka) and subsequently dealt with the following topics:
– the claims of the Black Book, published in 1946 by the World Jewish
Congress, that three million people had been murdered in Treblinka by
means of “assembly-line execution”;
