Why no gassing footage?

That thought has occured to me from time to time as well. We see photographs of crematoria where disease ridden corpses are about to be burned, we see photos of internees 'about' to be shot or gassed but never have we seen photos of gassed prisoners 'blue' and 'wet with sweat and urine' or 'covered with excrement and menstrual blood' to quote some of the more lurid accounts of gassings. Surely at one point or another a guard or an intelligence or security agent would have snapped at least one picture of such a terrible scene. In Butz's book 'Hoax of the Twentieth Century' there is one picture of corpses being burned in a pit but this, of course, was probably diseased bodies being cremated en masse during one of the many epidemics at the various camps. Whenever I have seen pictures of dead bodies they are always emaciated from starvation, dead from disease, or people killed in air raids. Real photographic evidence of exterminations by gas simply does not exist.

Yes. I believe a warring power has the right to execute enemy troops, partisans, saboteurs etc. who are captured out of uniform. Skorzeny's American-clad troops were put up against the wall for this reason as were, if you'll recall, the German saboteurs that were caught on American soil. Germany was especially within its rights to execute in this way the partisans they caught on the Eastern Front, in Yugoslavia and in Italy. Finally, don't be misled into thinking that films of people dangling from ropes were necessarily executed by German troops. Many times these individuals were, in fact, strung up by the NKVD. During wartime, photos and films of dead bodies are extremely easy to come by and just as easy to blame on the Germans. The Allies even had the nerve to offer as proof of German brutalities film of piles of corpses being burned by German civil defense workers after the firebombing of Dresden.

You have a great example here:
From LIFE magazine (June 11, 1945, p. 50) which appear at the end of a photo essay titled "FIRING SQUAD: Army executes three German spies who were caught in U.S. uniforms." The story appears on three pages — 47, 48, and 50. There are a total of nine, mutually-consistent photographs in the essay. The first paragraph of the story is:During Nazi breakthrough at Bastogne last December the Germans managed to smuggle some of their intelligence officers behind U.S. lines. Three of these spies were captured, tried and shot. Last week the War Department released pictures on this and the following pages, taken by LIFE Photographer Johnny Florea, which show their speedy execution. (p. 47)

I must be a mushroom - because everyone keeps me in the dark and feeds me with lots of bullshit.
The last wish of those men, slaughtered at the pole. Was to hear the Christmas Carol 'Silent Night' one last time.
That photo should not be viewed without money-grubber Weisenthal's shitty little artifact that he scrawled alongside it. Typical of the industry to make money out of the dead by means of forgery.
