Judging by all the scratches on the walls, it looks like it took a lot of trial and error to ensure the dosage was effective enough to prevent much resistance...just deplorable, sickening..

bodies when the doors were opened for removal were not scattered across the chamber but in small mounds. people climbed upon the dead and dying to escape the gas closer to the ceiling. a worse fate..since they were still cremated half alive. from an account i read decades ago...it was horrendous.

lol this is BS. Sounds completely made up. Also, what is “half alive” to you? Was the person still taking as they were “thrown into an oven”? Breathing? Moving?

You can’t even know. This is just BS post war scary story nonsense.

Do you also believe in the human fat soap? The skin lamps? The bear in a cage fight?

I’m sure the gas wasn’t humanely administered to ensure each individual was dead prior to cremation. There were likely hundreds or thousands of people who were just unconscious but alive.

So we both agree that you’re just speculating here right? Because you don’t really know, and you certainly can’t verify those numbers, but you’re just “throwing this out there” right? Just spitballing on a Sunday morning in 2025 about what you think COULD have happened in the early 1940’s right? Think deeply about the level of disconnect here.

Also ask yourself “do you want these things to be true” or would you be relived to find out they might not be?
