Every morning, I check my blog stats to see where readers of my blog are (literally) coming from. This morning, I found that some readers had been directed to my blog by a website, which features a fake interview, that Oprah might have conducted with Hitler if he were still alive; you can read it here. I love this ingenious fake interview with Hitler, but there is one tiny mistake and one big mistake in the article.
The tiny mistake is this: Two photos are shown with the caption “During the war, the Americans were very concerned about lice and typhus.”
A sign that was put up by the British at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp
One of the photos on the website is shown above; it is purported to be a sign in the USA, but this is actually a sign that the British put up at Bergen-Belsen, which had a huge epidemic of typhus at the end of the war.
America did not have any typhus epidemics during World War II. America had a typhus vaccine and all of the American soldiers were vaccinated against typhus before going overseas.
DDT was first used in Italy in 1943 and during World War II, it was being sprayed every where in America. German doctors had already discovered that DDT is harmful and they were not using it. Instead, the Germans were killing the lice in clothing by using Zykon-B gas in a machine, such was the one pictured below. The photo was taken at the Dachau concentration camp.

German doctors were working on developing a typhus vaccine at the Buchenwald concentration camp; you can read about this on my website at http://www.scrapbookpages.com/Buchenwald/Atrocities1.html
Now for the big mistake in the fake Oprah interview with Hitler, which is contained in this quote:
Oprah: But my understanding is that the Holocaust was well documented.
Hitler: Be careful with the use of that term, “well documented”. Propagandists will often use it as a tool of persuasion, when in fact, there is no documentation. Not only is there no documentation of this fictitious genocide, but two separate forensic tests of the ruins of the Auschwitz “gas chambers” came back negative!
Oprah: Ruins? But the gas chamber is still there at the Auschwitz museum.
Hitler: No. The Auschwitz gas chamber is a post war propaganda reconstruction. The museum curator will even tell you that, but only if you ask. What they claim was the original gas chamber lies in a pile of ruins. These ruins were indeed tested. There is therefore no forensic evidence to support the big lie.
Two photos are shown at this point in the narrative of Oprah’s interview of Hitler.
One photo shows the ruins of Krema II (crematorium #2) at Auschwitz-Birkenau, which “lies in ruins,” and the other photo shows the gas chamber at the Auschwitz I camp, which was not blown up. You can see photos of the ruins of Krema II on one of my previous blog posts at https://furtherglory.wordpress.com/2011/10/09/are-the-ruins-of-auschwitz-collapsing/
The photo of the Auschwitz I gas chamber on the fake Oprah interview website is similar to the photo below.

My 2005 photo of the ruins of the oven room in Krema II at Auschwitz-Birkenau
The photo above shows the ruins of the oven room in Krema II, not the ruins of the alleged Krema II gas chamber. The ruins of the alleged gas chamber in Krema II were “indeed tested” by Germar Rudolf and Fred Leuchter, both of whom climbed down into the ruins of the alleged gas chamber and did not find enough evidence of Zyklon-B residue, which would prove that it was a gas chamber.
The ruins of the alleged Krema II gas chamber are shown below.

The alleged gas chamber in the main Auschwitz camp was converted into a bomb shelter by the Germans. For 50 years, the tour guides at Auschwitz told visitors that the alleged gas chamber was original, although it is really a reconstruction, done by the Soviet Union.

I know that the int’l Red cross sent food and medicine to the camps and that the camp management later gave what they wanted to give to the pows. I would have to go back and look for more info because I jotted this note while perusing Wiki on the Red cross . Since they were based in Switzerland they would have had access to DDT without having to await the arrival of the allies.

The int’l red cross sent ddt to the camp management as well as food packages.

Did the Red Cross send typhus vaccine to the “camp management”? Did the “camp management” spray the DDT inside the camps?

True. Good to know that DDT was invented in 1874, but its insecticidal properties were discovered by the Swiss scientist Paul Müller as late as in 1939. But DDT’s insecticidal properties still had to be tested and the news of its extraordinary properties against the disease-carrying insects reached the United States only in 1942. After further research in the United States, a DDT delousing powder was invented and first used in Naples (Italy) in late 1943. But the Germans couldn’t wait late 1943 or 1944 to combat typhus. Typhus was not a farway disease to them. They needed an efficient way to combat typhus from 1939. So the Zyklon B choice (among other things such as steam, hot air and even microwave – http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v18/v18n3p-4_Weber.html) was a logical choice and it saved many lives. This fact was demonstrated in early 1945, when Germany lacked everything and proper delousings couldn’t be applied anymore. At that time, typhus emerged again and showed the power of its killing abilities, especially in concentration camps but not only. The Allies photographed and filmed the results of those terrible typhus epidemics and collected what is now known as “Holocaust film footage” or “visual evidence of the Holocaust”. Only DDT and their anti-typhus vaccine made the Allies able to deal with typhus as a non-issue when they entered the German concentration camps in spring 1945 and to depict the mountains of emaciated typhus corpses they found there as “victims of Nazi barbarity”, “priosners starved to death” and “Jews exterminated by the fascist brutes”.

In the movie by Eroll Morris about Fred Leuchter “Mr. Death” Robert Van Pelt says the gas chamber at Auschwitz was in a little red farmhouse that was dismantled brick by brick by local farmers and carted off after the war. Leuchter and Rudolf couldn’t have tested the walls of it because it was gone, just like the 1.2 million Jews killed in it, by the time they arrived at the camp to test walls for Zyclon B residue.

I saw that movie. Fred Leuchter was deliberately portrayed as socially awkward. Fred should not have co-operated in the making of this movie. Fred is an honest person, who was made a fool of in the movie.
