48. Do Allied wartime photos of Auschwitz (during the time when the "gas
chambers" and crematoria were supposed to be in full operation) reveal gas
chambers?

Rebuttal # 48:

Air Photo Expert John Ball has a website at http://www.air-photo.com/. His full reply
is as follows:

Extending from the rear of each Birkenau cremation
building (CREMAS 2 and 3) was a below-ground level room designed as a cold
storage morgue without vents or windows. Auschwitz 'eye-witnesses' say these 2
rooms were 'gas chambers with protruding roof vents' through which cyanide gas
pellets were dropped, and the gas was expelled.

CREMA 2 evidence from 1944 air photos is as follows:

On May 31
there is one long line east of the roof's centerline. On July 8 again there is
one line east of the roof's centerline. On August 25 there are 4 marks in a
staggered pattern east of roof centerline. And on Sept. 13 all the marks have
disappeared.

The May, 1993, inspection of CREMA 2 collapsed roof by John Ball shows
there are NO HOLES EAST OF THE CENTERLINE WHERE MARKS EXIST ON THE 1944 AIR
PHOTOS, whereas west of the centerline there are 2 irregular shaped holes that
have been CUT THROUGH THE ROOF AT LOCATIONS WHERE NO MARKS EXIST ON ANY 1944 AIR
PHOTO.

The 2 holes were therefore CUT THROUGH THE 15 CENTIMETER (6 INCH)
THICK CEMENT ROOF AFTER 1944, which means that in 1944 the roof was SOLID CEMENT
WITH NO VENTS OR OPENINGS.

( http://www.air-photo.com/english/index.html),

CREMA 3 evidence from 1944 air photos is as follows:

On May 31,
there are 4 marks in a staggered pattern. On July 8 there are 3 marks in
different locations from May 31. On August 25 the 4 marks are also in different
locations from July 8. And on Sept. 13 the marks are very faint and in different
locations again.

The marks have therefore changed locations from May to
July to August to Sept., 1944 - proving they were movable objects and could not
therefore have been holes cut through the cement roof.

In
May, 1993 the CREMA 3 roof could not be inspected as it was destroyed in
1945.

In summary on CREMA 2 roof, the 1944 air photos and John Ball's
1993 roof inspection show conclusively that no holes existed in 1944. 2 holes
were added after 1944. And on CREMA 3 roof, 1944 air photo roof marks change
locations from May to July to August to September, 1944, showing they were
moveable objects, and could not therefore have been holes cut through the cement
roof.

1944 air photos and 1993 Cremation Building inspection proves that
in 1944 there were NO VENTS HOLES IN ROOFS OF EITHER CREMA 2 OR 3 ALLEGED 'GAS
CHAMBERS' that would have been necesssary to drop cyanide gas pellets, and
expell the resulting gas - which proves it would have been impossible for people
to have been murdered by gas as described by alleged 'eye witnesses'.

And
one specific, important point:

Nizkor writes that in a shrill, specious
argument that ". . . all this means is that corpses were not being burned on
those particular days." What happened to the often-claimed "around-the-clock
gassings and cremations" claims?
