The chemical reactions described are wrong and all contradict each other…
(For example, Zyklon was not “crystallized Prussic Acid”, as claimed by Hoess/Brookhar(d)t.
TO fumigate with it takes hours, because the liquid active ingredient must evaporate, rise to the ceiling, and be carried by air currents throughout the entire area to be fumigated.
The toxicity of cyanide gas is dependent on its concentration in the air. One cannot kill a man in 15 minutes with a concentration of 50 parts per million, nor can one kill him in 1 minute with 500 parts per million.
Since victims of cyanide poisoning become UNCONSCIOUS and may die in minutes, or hours later, or may recover with no ill effects after four to six hours, the concentration involved must be exactly known… not guessed at by listening to unconscious people.
Take any 5 books on the Holocaust and look up “Zyklon” in the index. You will probably find 5 different chemical descriptions of the murder weapon, all of them wrong; the chemical reactions involved will be wrong; the properties of cyanide gas will be given incorrectly; and the symptoms of cyanide poisoning will be largely wrong.
The gas will be described as heaver than air; the victims will sometimes be described as attempting to escape by climbing above the gas, retaining consciousness until the end; while S.S. men watch through “peepholes” to see whether they are dead or not. Generally, the word “peephole” will appear at least once per page.
