If you state that it is impossible to cremate a body with 4.7 kg of refined coal (coke), and connect this fact with claims made about the Holocaust, you will go to prison in Germany for up to 5 years. (Conspiracy)

We have the crematoria fuel (coke + wood) receipts for Auschwitz-Birkenau between March and October 1943. There were 16,000 confirmed deaths during this period (according to camp documentation) and establishment historians argue that 116,800 additional people were gassed. For a total of 132,800 bodies, there was the equivalent of 628.5 tons of coke delivered, i.e. an average of 4.7 kg of coke per corpse.

How much coke was required for Topf Double-Muffle Cremation Ovens? A study by Prof. P. Schläpfer in 1936, based on practical experiments, shows that after initially requiring 400 kg for the first body, once the oven had completely warmed up after 10 cremations (reaching thermal equilibrium), it then used 37.5 kg of coke per body.

(Note also that F. Piper confirms that no open pit cremations took place during this period. As far as the claims of giant, mass cremations in trenches/pits are concerned, at Auschwitz you hit ground water at 4ft, so these would also likely not have been possible as described. For a more complete analysis, see Mattogno's book (pdf) 'Auschwitz: Open Air Incinerations'.)

For more details, read 'The Crematoria Ovens of Auschwitz and Birkenau', by Carlo Mattogno.

Well, if you are going to bring peer reviewed science to the table, then that is cheating. And yes, you are right in regards to no pits. Pits (especially burning or burial) leave a wonderful archaeological footprint which is impossible (literally) to conceal. No pits have ever been found. That is simply because there where no "death camps".

Yes. Some camps in particular were the site of many unfortunate deaths, but the evidence doesn't support the claims of intentional extermination programs. I should add that I don't think the Schläpfer study was peer-reviewed, nor Mattogno's article. Although his analysis is on the more technical end of the spectrum for Holocaust historiography, it's basic and transparent enough that review isn't really necessary -- primary sources are still the key. (Note too that the English translation of Mattogno's enormous book-length study of cremation at Auschwitz-Birkenau has just been released, but is not yet available for free download.)

Thanks for that. I wish i spoke German better than I do. I Agree that the Schläper study may not of been peer reviewed, he was however a Phd and co-author of other papers. I would suspect that at the least, he would of had colleagues peruse it. (i have been looking hehe) I also agree that basic engineering/technical articles do not need to be reviewed, especially when they are dealing with a fairly mundane engineering topic. Thankyou for the link to Mattongo's book. It reads well, (sofar) and chock full of primary reference material.
