Original plans for the Auschwitz death camps have been discovered in Germany.
Original plans for the construction of the Nazi extermination camp of Auschwitz, including a gas chamber and crematorium, have been found in a Berlin apartment, a newspaper reported Saturday.
The daily Bild published copies of some of the 28 plans, which the head of Germany’s federal archives, Hans-Dieter Krekamp, called “authentic proof of the systematically planned genocide of the Jews of Europe.”
There are dates on the plans:
It said they were dated between 1941 and 1943 and stamped, “Waffen-SS and Police Construction Directorate.” Some were signed by senior SS officials and one initialed by the head of the Nazi ideological corps, Heinrich Himmler.
Kreikamp told the newspaper the documents were “extraordinarily important.”
One plan, drawn by a detainee as early as November 1941, when experiments in eliminating prisoners were already under way, had a gas chamber clearly labeled, Bild said.
Another showed a crematorium with places for ovens marked, and storage space for bodies.
This evidence contradicts directly Patrick Buchanan’s claims that it was the intervention of Britain that caused the Germans to start murdering the Jews.
That Hitler was a rabid anti-Semite is undeniable. “Mein Kampf†is saturated in anti-Semitism. The Nuremberg Laws confirm it. But for the six years before Britain declared war, there was no Holocaust, and for two years after the war began, there was no Holocaust.
Not until midwinter 1942 was the Wannsee Conference held, where the Final Solution was on the table.
That conference was not convened until Hitler had been halted in Russia, was at war with America and sensed doom was inevitable. Then the trains began to roll.
And why did Hitler invade Russia? This writer quotes Hitler 10 times as saying that only by knocking out Russia could he convince Britain it could not win and must end the war.
Of course, Buchanan’s insistence on ignoring evidence that proves otherwise will probably come into play. He’s a liar and a Holocaust minimizer, if not a denier, and he’s definitely an anti-Semite. He goes on neo-Nazi radio stations to promote his book, and isn’t even really bothering to hide his Jew-hatred any more. But there’s even more evidence than before that Buchanan is a lying, Jew-hating scum who should be bounced from MSNBC. Then again, MSNBC is a complete joke. It’s not like we expect real journalism out of them.
Anyone who denies evolution can deny anything. It is just that simple.
So in the end I guess we can blame Churchill for the Shoah. If Lord Halifax had become prime minister in May, 1940 then Britain would have made an accomodation with Hitler and he wouldn’t have slaughtered six million Jews and millions of others.
If anyone doubts the Shoah now I don’t think this will do much to disabuse them of the idea. I do, in a grim way, enjoy the general Arab view: the Holocaust never happened and Hitler should have finished the job.
As to why MSNBC has Buchanan, I syhould think the answer is obvious. “We have varying viewpoints; we have a conservative commentator, Pat Buchanan.” And in a subtle way they point out that Buchanan is a typical conservative.
I’ve been arguing for some time that the right needs to disown Pat Buchanan once and for all. If MSNBC is going to trot him out as representative of right-of-center views, the right needs to make it clear he’s no friend of conservatives.
I don’t advocate censorship, but let Buchanan distribute his anti-Semitic, misogynist, homophobic filth himself – he doesn’t need to be given a cushy platform on TownHall.com. He doesn’t deserve to be published alongside Jonah Goldberg, Charles Krauthammer, Fred Thompson, etc. I mean, if they’re going to promote his nonsense, why not just give him a lap dance and a cigar to smoke as he types out his next hateful diatribe?
Who believes Pat Buchan is either knowledgable or honest?
