I will talk about some absurdities that always bothered me was the claim of operation capacity. The claims that the vast majority of the genocide happening in 1944 is suspect, but this was the time the camp had all 52 ovens in 5 crematoriums. So that is basically Jan 1 to Jan 20 to get the majority of 1.1 million dead. This requires 2585 deaths per day. Assuming all 52 ovens were working, that means each oven had to process 55 per day. An impossibility. Even assuming the Germans met the halfway mark at 1944 means processing 28 per day. Also an impossibility. Even meeting the 80% mark before 1944 means each oven had to process 10 per day. Again an impossibility.
Enough of the cooking, lets talk staffing. claims the camp had a bunk count of 135,000, with an SS detail overhead of 8,000 (over the size of a legion, if you want to add jewish religious tropes) For comparison, the prisoner population of the largest US Japanese concentration camp was Tule Lake. Tule Lake was well planned with a density of 100 sq ft per person. Auschuwitz's numbers place it about 125 sq ft per person minimum. Why such higher living space for a death than a US concentration camp?
Thanks for your response. He never addresses the math problem in the video. I had never seen the square footage calculation before.
