Then how do you arrive at statements like, "The average chamber could..."?



No, that isn't ignored at all; in fact, it's a point of ridicule. What you fail to mention is that the "internal combustion engine" invariably pointed at is the diesel engine, which doesn't produce carbon monoxide in sufficient concentration to be lethal.



Great, give me the physical dimensions of those two rooms.

No, it was an ordinary fucking CAR ENGINE WITH A TUBE IN THE ROOM YOU FUCKING IDIOT.

The disinfestation chambers in Block 26 measured 7.80 m x 4.92 m and 9.70
m x 4.92 m. Assuming a height of 3.8 m (same as in the delousing chamber of Block 1) that gives volumes of ~146 cu m and ~181 cu m, respectively. A disinfestation time the same as that of Block 3 is assumed.

The disinfestation chamber in Block 1 measured aproximately 5.5 m x 3.2 m
x 3.8 m, for a volume of ~67 cu m. According to Andrzeje Rablin, a
prisoner who worked the disinfestation gas chambers of Block 3, it took
about 26 hours per disinfestation.

Then there were the 19 Zyklon B delousing chambers in the Stammmlager
reception building. Each had a volume of about 10 cu m and used heated
forced air to reduce the disinfestation time to somewhere between 1-2
hours. (Pressac, _Technique_ p.31; Van Pelt, _Auschwitz: 1270 to the
present_, p. 220-221.)

Now, given that Rablin explicity stated that the time taken for delousing
was 24 hours, (and given that the plundered clothes of the inmates were
shipped back to the Reich) it is quite probable that the disinfestations
were done using 16g of HCN per cu m -the concentration and time dictated
to kill clothes moths (and, of course, lice, fleas, etc.).

The Stammlager's 19 disinfestation chambers where used to disinfest the
clothes of registering (or registered) prisoners. If used continuously
they could each perform, at most, 24 disinfestions per day and use,
assuming 8g cu m instead of 16 g cu m, (The reason for assuming 8 cu m is due to the nature of the Stammlager's disinfestation process which was geared to disinfesting and returning the to the prisoners' their clothes. Arguably, the only purpose involved here would be delousing, which requires only 8g cu m of prussic acid.)

Estimating the Stammlager's capacity is somewhat difficult, considering
that it was designed in 1942 for a camp population of 30,000. By the time
of it's completion in April/May 1944 the the population of Auschwitz was:

Auschwitz I 16,000 men
Auschwitz II 15,000 men 21,000 women
Auschwitz III 15,000 men
-----------------------
46,000 men, 21,000 women
Total 67,000 prisoners

Source it.

Great, you found a source for chamber volume. All the time requirements in it are for... dah dah DAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Delousing. Which is exactly what the chambers were for, not for homicide.

 

[jack]

You asked me the dimensions of the rooms I WAS TALKING ABOUT. I gave them to you. Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

On July 23, 1942, Ho"ss issued Komandantanturbefehl 19/42 placing Birkenau
in a state of isolation and increased disinfestation measures due to a
severe outbreak of typhus. In the following few months enourmous amounts
of Zyklon B were requested by the Auschwitz SS to combat the typhus epedic
then raging in Birkenau. Trucks were dispatched to the Zyklon plant at
Dessau five times, probably retrieving on the order of 25 _tonnes_ of
Zyklon B. (cf. Ibid. p.188.)

That's a lot of delousing, d00der.

 

[jack]

btw, except for that memo, there's no mention anywhere of any such typhus outbreak, especially one requiring that level of delousing gas.

Show me some evidence of such an epidemic please

Or you know, be branded an idiot.
