Here we have the technique of camoflauging trucks as farm houses by the clever trick of adding window shutters. No one would ever guess they were not really farm houses. Why even the Jellystone park ranger was taken in.The vans became so well known, that not only the authorities but also the civilian population called the van "death van", as soon as one of these vehicles appeared. It is my opinion the van cannot be kept secret for any length of time, not even camouflaged...
Amazing that the camoflauge as a farm house failed. Maybe people noticed them moving. Maybe it was the wheels. Maybe it was engine and driver's seat on one end.Besides that, I ordered that during application of gas all the men were to be kept as far away from the vans as possible, so they should not suffer damage to their health by the gas which eventually would escape.Even Mr. Ranger would catch on.
Ah yes, those stupid Germans had to be warned about the dangers of engine exhaust. Maybe Mr. Ranger had to tell them the rules. But of course it is clear here that the author, whoever he is, has something in mind other than engine exhaust.I should like to take this opportunity to bring the following to your attention: several commands have had the unloading after the application of gas done by their own men.
What "gas" is engine exhaust? Obviously a confusion between Zyklon B and carbon monoxide. Or could it possibly be that the "witness" had no idea how the things worked?I brought to the attention of those S.K (Special Kommando)
There we go again. Sonderkommando is one word. SK not S.K would be the abbreviation. Another incorrect translation into German by whoever wrote this.concerned the immense psychological injuries and damages involved to their health that this work can have for those men, even if not immediately, at least later on. The men complained to me about head-aches which appeared after each unloading.
Amazing that they would complain but a trivial amount of engine exhaust that would disappear in seconds of opening the doors. The concentration could never be more than in the engine exhaust itself. They must be talking about something other than engine exhaust. Perhaps it was Eastern Front Syndrome?Nevertheless they don't want to change the orders, because they are afraid prisoners called for that work could use an opportune moment to flee. To protect the men from these damages, I request orders to be issued accordingly.
Orders for what? Trivial amounts of engine exhaust?The application of the gas is not undertaken correctly. In order to come to an end as fast as possible, the driver presses the accelerator to the fullest extent. By doing that the persons to be executed suffer death from suffocation and not death by dozing off as was planned. My directions have now proved that by correct adjustment of the levers death comes faster and the prisoners fall asleep peacefully. Distorted faces and excretions, such as could be seen before, are no longer noticed.
Here we have it. Not only the accelerator but "correct adjustment of the levers" matters. What levers? What gas? Why is the accelerator involved? Is it a reference to the spark and choke levers? But when the engine is warmed up, it stalls out if improperly set. An engine at high RPM in neutral?But of course, holohuggers find this credible. They do not find the slightest thing unusual in this.
