Logistics, how was that managed when at most they only had capacity for about a half million total?
I'm sorry, that's just not true.
You can do the math yourself.
A single crematorium (which had many furnaces) could burn 1440 corpses a day under regular load. That's already more than 1/2 million a year.
There were 5 crematorioms of various sizes - two of this size, and 3 of half the size. That's well over 2 million corpses a year, and they were in service for longer than a year.
Cool, now explain the the incredible amount of fuel that would have been needed to accomplish those numbers and then explain how they were able to provide and transport all of that fuel during a Total War economy.
After they had 4 crematorioms able to burn around 2500 bodies a day, they decided to build a fifth one at the same location that can burn over 700 more a day.
Why did they need that fifth one, if they couldn't get enough fuel for the first 4? Why did they need a fifth one of the first 4 were not used?

Where are all the bodies?
Logistics, how was that managed when at most they only had capacity for about a half million total?
So they buried them?
Why haven't any been exhumed?
But underground radar studies have found nothing anywhere since the supposed event.

You are just wrong.

Also, where are you getting 1400 from?

Cool cool.
Now you explain this to me:
After they had 4 crematorioms able to burn around 2500 bodies a day, they decided to build a fifth one at the same location that can burn over 700 more a day.
Why did they need that fifth one, if they couldn't get enough fuel for the first 4? Why did they need a fifth one of the first 4 were not used?

So just to clarify, you can't answer my question and instead you provide an unverified document as proof of your original claim?

Your question was where I got the 1400 number from. I answered that question.
You didn't answer why the Nazis would build a fifth crematorium, with a lot of new furnace, if they couldn't afford the fuel for the first 4.
What makes you think it took that much fuel to run? Compared to feeding millions of prisoners that is.
That document isn't all the proof. The furnaces still exist, you can see them yourself. You can count them.
There's also the manufacturer instructions, which includes how often you can put in a new corpse. The numbers match this document.
Your only rebuttal is "lol I know nothing about was, but obviously this world be to d expensive to run lol". Then why did they build it?
