As for Leuchter and Faurisson:
"They are both cookoos"
We'll have to discuss Leuchter later; but as far as Faurisson is concerned.....it looks like at least one flew over the Cuckoo's nest!

German: "Die Leuchter-Gutachten": Kritisch kommentierte Neuauflage
Vor 26 Jahren schockierte der US-Gaskammer-Fachmann Fred Leuchter die Welt mit seinem Gutachten über die Gaskammern von Auschwitz. Obwohl seither viele tiefergehende Forschungsarbeiten zum Thema veröffentlicht wurden, bleibt Leuchters Pionierarbeit dennoch von Interesse. Castle Hill Publishers und CODOH haben daher nun dieses Gutachten in einer neuen, kritisch kommentierten und reich annotierten Ausgabe neu aufgelegt, einschließlich der drei anderen Gutachten, die Leuchter kurze Zeit später erstellte: [emphasis added by FPB]

Friedrich, do you think that Fred's comment that mass gassings are impossible was meant as a comment for the technology and environment at the time, ie. 1942-43 rather than last week, last year or the mid seventies?
Perhaps he felt that at the time with all things considered it would have been impossible to have achieved what has been claimed.
If Faurisson and/or Leuchter had confined their opinons to the analysis of samples taken from the walls of alleged gas chambers, they would have been on solid ground--but, unfortunately, they have foolishly gone far beyond that. In the process, they have made fools of themselves. For example, the argument about the supposedly explosive danger of cyanide gas is simply false.
Q: Does Breker agree with Leuchter's view that mass gassings are impossible?Hydrogen cyanide
At room temperature HCN is a colourless liquid. It has a faint, bitter, almond-like odour.
Risk phrases: Extremely flammable- Very toxic by inhalation.
Hazards: HCN is a dangerous fire and explosion hazard when exposed to heat, flames or oxidisers. The boiling point of HCN is 260C making it very volatile. It forms explosive mixtures with air and can polymerise explosively at 50-600C or in the present of traces of alkali. These reactions should be avoided at all costs. Reactions with water, steam, acid or acid fumes can produce highly toxic cyanide fumes. HCN is very corrosive. The liquid HCN is often stabilised using phosphoric or sulphuric acid.
"e-a-s-i-l-y"? Absolutely not. It would have involved as many if not more problems than the crematoriums which are ridiculously said to have been converted to homicidal gas chambers.Does Breker agree with me that railroad delousing gas chambers could have been e-a-s-i-l-y used to commit mass murder by the Nazis?
Here we see extremely bad scholarship from Robert Faurisson. Has Faurisson ever acknowledged his error? Of course, not. Has he ever tried to correct his error? NO! Instead, he continued to attack me for being intemperate, etc., as in his 2007 letter. http://www.nazigassings.com/Railroad.html No doubt, on the basis of such shabby and inexcusably bad arguments and evidence, Faurisson and his devoted followers and allies, Leuchter and Toeben included, will continue to insist that cyanide gas is so explosive that it could never have been used near functioning crematoria ovens and that there is "no value at all" to my argument. Shame on them! Holocaust revisionism has to grow up!When outdoor conditions cause the indoor temperature to fall below 65 degrees F., it is desirable to heat the building for two or three hours before the Discoids are applied and during the fumigation so the insects will be warmed and therefore more susceptible to the gas.
Furnace rooms should not be sealed but the door should be locked and barred to prevent entry... The furnace (if coal) should be stoked so that heat will be satisfactorily maintained for the short period of exposure required, if possible. If not possible, the furnace tender should wear a gas mask when tending the fire. [emphasis aded by FPB.]
Sir, you rudeness is noted. Expect a bit in return.Well, we have the beginnings of a discussion thanks to Breker. He is WRONG on all three points that he has just tried to make.
Could Breker explain why he believes "railroad delousing tunnels" would have had any problems at all? Be specific. Leave vague generalities to Faurisson or Leuchter.
So now space for two chairs is considered "big". We read "could have", "space which can", "if", but we see no real examples of big execution gas chambers in actual use. Sorry Mr. Berg, 'space for two chairs' and 'would have, could have, should have' is not any help.As to "big gas chambers" that have specifically been used for "executions" or "murder"--even the primitive gas chambers used in the US for executions have sometimes had two chairs to execute two prisoners at a time. More prisoners could have been added with restraints such as handcuffs and leg shackles. Is that too hard to understand? if anyone has ever been in any underground mine or tunnel or enclosure, like a large cellar such as a bomb shelter with tightly shut doors, then they have actually been inside a space which can e-a-s-i-l-y be used to kill many people if the consumed air is not replaced--or, better yet, if a toxic gas is introduced. Accidental deaths of masses of people from gas are rather common historically, especially in mining--and the wartime trenches of world war 1 were such places also.
I gave you the source, here it is once more.As to the dangers of cyanide explosions, the American Cyanimid Co which distributed Zyklon-B in the US for decades recommended the use of stoves and furnaces during fumigations to try to keep the temperatures of spaces being fumigated ABOVE the boiling point of Zyklon-B or 78 degrees Fahrenheit.. It was specifically recommended by them that the persons tending those stoves wear gas masks. Cyanide in air ONLY begins to burn when the HCN concentration in air exceeds 5.8%. That level is far greater than the concentration of HCN needed to kill people. In other words, one can kill lots of people with cyanide gas long before the cyanide levels are even high enough to ignite and self-sustain a fire or explosion. See my essay at: http://www.nazigassings.com/faurisson.html and the material under the subheading: "The Dangers of Explosion with Cyanide "
The source for Breker's link on this point is unidentifiable to me. Please give the actual source, Breker. Breker should also note that although gasoline is extremely flammable and that the vapors can easily explode, most people live rather comfortably in spite of the risks in their automobiles. Some hazards are just not that hazardous.
