51. What did the International Red Cross have to report with regard to the
"Holocaust" question?

Let's get some perspective here. How many Red Cross delegates did Stalin,
America's ally, allow in to investigate rumors about Katyn? None.

See the testimony of Biedermann in Barbara Kulaszka's book at
http://www.webcom.com/ezundel/english/dsmrd/dsmrd10biedermann.html It is a
chapter well worth reading.

The Germans invited British, Canadian and other officers and forensic experts
from other European nations to investigate the mass killings of Katyn where
14,000 of the Polish elite had been murdered by the Soviets. The Red Cross
declined. Nothing was investigated. The Germans continued to be blamed for over
half a century for something the Soviets had done.

The German authorities had invited the International Red Cross to send
forensic experts and observers to the mass grave-exhumation site in Katyn. But
for political reasons, in order not to offend the Allies - and, they said,
because Stalin did not invite them, since the murder site was on Soviet
territory - some half-hearted compromise was found by the Red Cross authorities
by allowing some non-official Red Cross members of other European nations to go
to the murder scene.

There were over 4,000 obviously false and perjured affidavits and testimonies
produced by a Soviet Katyn Commission in 1944, blaming Germans for this mass
murder in the most minute detail. So much for this supposed truthfulness of
"witness testimony"!

In April of 1990 the Polish President Wojciech Jaruselski received from
Soviet President Michail Gorbachev two containers of Soviet documents about what
really happened at Katyn. Silence was the result. Only Boris Yeltsin put an end
to the lie - by finally admitting Soviet responsibility for the attempted
genocide against the Polish elite, after he took over from Gorbachev.

Yet seven German officers and soldiers were tried in show trials in the
Soviet Union for their alleged role in the murders of Katyn and hanged in a
public ceremony, watched by thousands of spectators, filmed and shown in
newsreels all over the Soviet Union and the East Bloc - for decades! These men
have not been rehabilitated to this day - not even by the so-called "German
government!"

The IHR answer is essentially correct. The 1944 Red Cross Report is clear. By
that time, the Allies were dropping millions of leaflets in Polish and German
over the Auschwitz area, claiming extermination by all sorts of means. The rumor
mills at Auschwitz, as in other camps of the era both Allied and German and even
as happens in prison facilities of today, have always been very active and scary
and have been and are often just that - false! False claims - based on
embellished stories and rumors!

To this day, the International Committee of the Red Cross, an organization
that runs Arolson (the International Tracing Service) is playing a corrupt role
by lending its name and prestige to a thinly disguised cover-up by preventing
research in those millions of documents they hold under lock and key in that
Arolson facility.

If you really want to know about the so-called "humanitarian" function of the
International Red Cross, study the ZGram of March 6, 1999 at
http://www.webcom.com/ezundel/english/zgrams/zg1999/zg9903/990306.html

The Holocaust riddle could be solved in a matter of months if the Red Cross
were ever to turn honest. The role and record of the International Red Cross in
the Second World War and especially after the war in the years from 1945-1950 is
one of partiality and dismal failure when it comes to investigating and, above
all, publishing the crimes of Stalin and of the Western Allies. This chapter of
history has yet to be written.

RE: Münch - the Allies favorite "witness": Here is what Germar Rudolf found
out about him when he interviewed him in June of 1995:

Dr. Münch (also known as "Moench" or "Mönch") was not a regular physician
employed at Auschwitz, as he claims, but apparently a hygienist. His is not a
name that appears frequently in the traditional Holocaust literature; he is,
however, highly sought after by tabloid type media.

In other words, he is a "media-witness" who willingly bolsters the
traditional version of a Hollywood-type "Holocaust." He likes the accolades
accorded him, since he is willing to toe the politically correct line. He
repeats tabloid-type stories.

He very willingly talks about "gassings" and "cremations" and is the kind
that has actually "seen" flames shoot out of crematoria and has "smelled" the
stench of burnt human bodies - stories that do not check out with what is known
of cremations. (No flames. No smoke. No stench). Even a cursory knowledge of
physics makes clear to a discerning reader that this is a man with a vivid but
sieve-like imagination whose stories don't square with science.

His "testimony" is full of contradictions and mistakes of the most elementary
kind that are easy to check out. A tape and a full analyzed transcript exists of
his interview with Germar Rudolf; unfortunately, it is only in German.
