Reposting my deleted posts from this thread: https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...new-Dr-Mengele.
Mengele actually studied physical anthropology, and he was responsible for taxonomical classification at the Frankfurt Institute (http://libgen.lc/index.php?req=menge...ng+angel+death):
In September 1937, as an indication of his growing status as a young scientist with a promising future, Mengele attended the ninth meeting of the German Society for Physical Anthropology in Tübingen.
...
He performs particularly valuable services in the genetic and racial assessments in connection with ancestry examinations, with his anthropological training serving him well here. ...
While at the Frankfurt Institute, Mengele placed his scientific knowledge at the disposal of the state by preparing so-called Gutachten, or expert opinions, for the RGO and the health courts, which had been created to enforce the various racial and eugenic laws designed to implement the Nazi worldview and to protect and "improve" the German race.[7] Mengele worked with Verschuer in conducting examinations and rendering professional judgments about an individual's paternity and "racial acceptability." Historian Sheila Faith Weiss examined 120 opinions rendered during Verschuer's tenure for which the examiner might be identifed; she found that Mengele prepared far more than the three other assistants at the institute - and that his judgment was more often than not beneficial to the person being examined, finding that the individual was not a "full Jew" more than two-thirds of the time.
...
Mengele's examination included, where possible, a comparison of twelve different areas, including blood type and factors, eyes and eyebrows, as well as finger- and footprints.
In order for Mengele to marry his wife, the SS required her to undergo a physical evaluation which involved taxonomical classification:
As a racial elite, the SS had a significant interest in whom its members decided to marry, and it established an entire bureaucracy to evaluate and sanction prospective unions. A raft of paperwork was required, as was a medical examination proving the absence of congenital diseases and, above all, the capability to bear children; for the SS, marriage meant two people of racial quality procreating. The entire enterprise was, in many ways, a state-sponsored human breeding program.[14] ...
The day after Christmas 1938, Irene had a physical examination in Frankfurt, performed by Dr. Schwarzweller, an SS physician. One section of the form called for an inventory of ten physical characteristics, with a list of associated values in descending order of desirability. For instance, for "Body Type," the physician could choose "muscular (athletic), plump, slim, or puny," with the first clearly being the most positive. For eye color, the following choices were available: "blue, gray, greenish, light brown, and dark brown." These physical attributes, thought to be expressions of the racial mixture that the person represented, were observed and noted. In Irene's case, Dr. Schwarzweller awarded her nine out of ten of the attributes with the highest value, and only one, "hair form," as the second highest: "sleek," which was one step down from "straight" but better than "wavy, curly, or crinkly." The combination of these features led Schwarzweller to conclude that Irene was primarily of the Nordic race with some Dinaric influences. She was found to be in excellent health and, perhaps of key significance, likely to be able to bear children, noting her "wide pelvis."[17]
Mengele was basically an anthrotard:
Inmate artist Dina Gottlieb, whom Mengele enlisted to paint portraits of his Gypsy research subjects, described Mengele's intense focus on them and suggested a possible explanation:
> He showed me the differences between types of Gypsies: how in the Aryan type the hairline matched the line of the eyes, how the blue of the Gypsies' eyes was different from the Aryans' blue, and which color was deepest. He was using these experiments to gather material for a book on the physical similarities and characteristics of Gypsies from different countries. He talked about it constantly.
He used books and charts when working on his test subjects. He had templates to work out their eye and skin color, which he'd hold up to make a reading. One of his descriptions for the shape of someone's lips was the letter, M.
...
Mengele made it clear that he was ultimately interested in all types of twins. It was obvious that the special circumstances of a concentration camp the size of Birkenau offered unrivaled opportunities for the availability of a large number of twins. In other words, work should be done on a large scale in order to obtain results of recognized validity by statistical methods. Mengele described to me the procedures to be followed. Especially skull measurements should be taken, i.e., the length and width of the skull, and, of course, stature. There was also a multi-point screening scheme which, for example, included the shape of the ears, of the nose, color of the eyes and similar features. These values always had to be collected by means of a questionnaire. Mengele also provided me with measuring instruments, in particular, calipers.
I was given a special room for my work, and an inmate girl was provided to me to record the results of the measurements. While working, I had to wear a white lab coat like a doctor's. There was also a former anthropology student available, who had already taken measurements with the gypsies before I began my work. So we worked together for the measurements. We measured practically every day.
Orthodox historiography about Mengele is based on the testimony of false eyewitnesses like Miklos Nyiszli (https://inconvenienthistory.com/5/4/3223):
At this point, the Polish researcher unveils her "decisive witness": none other than the notorious impostor Miklos Nyiszli!
...
Notwithstanding the absurd lies he told, this person is nonetheless held in high esteem by orthodox historians, but, in a sort of veiled schizophrenia, only as regards his accusations against Dr. Mengele. And in fact, his testimony constitutes the "demonstrative" framework for the accusations of every book on the subject, starting with Gerald L. Posner and John Ware on Dr. Mengele,[22] one of the most important, also mentioned by H. Kubica. The two authors cite him on pages 19, 20, 26, 33, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 53 and 152. In fact, the entire chapter on the "crimes" of Dr. Mengele at Auschwitz is built upon Nyiszli's "testimony"! Even Robert Jay Lifton mentions him repeatedly.[23] H. Kubica cites him just as often.
...
Miklos Nyiszli wrote a memoir published in Hungarian in 1946 entitled _Dr. Mengele boncolóorvosa voltam az auschwitz-i krematóriumban_ (_I Was Dr. Mengele’s Anatomical Physician in the Auschwitz Crematorium_.)[49]
...
Nyiszli provides a completely invented history of the Birkenau crematoria, even stating that they were built during the winter of 1939-1940, when Auschwitz didn't even exist yet.
His description of the furnaces of Crematoria II and III (which he refers to as 1 and 2) is also completely afactual. He speaks, in fact, of 15 individual furnaces located in a room 150 metres long, while the actual room in question was only 30 metres long, equipped with five furnaces, each with three muffles.
The alleged gas chamber, a room (Leichenkeller 1) 30 metres long, becomes, for Nyiszli, 200 metres long [but no width given]; Nyiszli also describes an "adjacent room" which never existed.
The small freight elevator (Aufzug) located in the vestibule of the subterranean part of the crematorium is transformed, in Nyiszli's narrative, into four powerful lifts.
What Nyiszli says about the crematory capacity of the cremation furnaces is technically impossible and historically nonsensical. He speaks of the cremation of 3 bodies in 20 minutes in one muffle, in each of the 15 muffles of Crematoria II and III, corresponding to a theoretical capacity of 3,240 bodies in 24 hours, which, for Nyiszli, however, becomes, incomprehensibly, 5,000. Therefore, according to him, the total capacity of the four Birkenau crematoria was 20,000 bodies per day. All this is absurd: in the coke-fired Topf furnaces of Auschwitz-Birkenau, 20 minutes would not even have sufficed to vaporise the water contained in a single body. The real capacity of such installations, as declared by Topf engineer Kurt Prüfer, who designed the furnaces, and Karl Schultze, who designed the blowers, was one single body per muffle per hour, or one ninth as much as asserted by "eyewitness" Nyiszli.
Moreover, while Crematoria II and III had a total of 30 muffles, Crematoria IV and V had only 16, but Nyiszli nevertheless attributes a capacity of 5,000 bodies per day each to this pair of crematoria as well. Therefore, one single muffle in Crematoria IV-V had almost double the capacity of the same muffle in Crematoria II-III, but, according to Holocaust historiography, the furnaces in Crematoria IV and V were less efficient than those in Crematoria II and III. For example, at the Höss trial, the expert Roman Dawidowski stated that a load of 3-5 bodies in one muffle burned in 20-30 minutes in Crematoria II-III, but in 30-40 minutes in Crematoria IV-V.[54] It goes without saying that Dawidowski's "expert opinion" has the same value as the Polish-Soviet "expert opinion" on the 4 million deaths, in which he himself, Dawidowski, likewise concurred.[55]
Based on the absurd cremation capacity of 5,000 bodies in 24 hours for each crematorium, Nyiszli has built an arithmetically fantastic history of the mass gassings. Here are a few examples:
- The inmates in Sector BIId, 10,500 people, according to Nyiszli, were gassed and cremated in a single day in Crematoria III and IV (= 5,250 bodies in 24 hours each). In reality, even with a theoretical continuous duty cycle of 24 hours per day (which in practice is unattainable),[56] these installations would have required at least 19 days for the cremation of such a large number of bodies.
- 4,500 gypsies were gassed and cremated in one single night in Crematoria II and III, that is, 2,250 in 12 hours. This many cremations would in fact have required over six days.
- The 20,000 gassing victims from the ghetto of Theresienstadt were cremated in 48 hours in Crematoria II and III (= 5,000 bodies in 24 hours each). In actual fact, that many cremations would have required over 27 days.
- Nyiszli claims that flames could often be seen shooting from the crematory chimneys, which is technically impossible.[57]
The gassing technique described by Nyiszli is completely invented, based on the erroneous supposition that Zyklon B (the alleged homicidal agent) was chlorine (rather than hydrocyanic acid). Since chlorine is heavier than air,[58] Nyiszli imagined that, in an area in which it was released in large quantities, the chlorine would spread from the floor to the ceiling, as if the area were being filled with water. As a result, he claims that the bodies, in the "gas chamber", "were piled up in a mass up to the ceiling", because "the gas first fills the lowers strata of air and then moves slowly upwards". The victims therefore climbed on each others' shoulders to get closer to the ceiling and escape the gas so as to survive for a short time longer. But hydrocyanic acid vapours are slightly lighter than air,[59] therefore the diffusion of the gas as described by Nyiszli is physically impossible.[60]
This absurdity was later appropriated lock, stock and barrel by the plagiarist Filip Müller, another self-described "eyewitness" who shamelessly plagiarized Nyiszli's work.[61]
In a letter to the American translator of his memoirs, Nyiszli declared that he had discovered that the name "cyklon" (sic) was derived from the abbreviation of its principal ingredients: CYanid, ChLOr and Nitrogen, stating that there were two types of "cyklon", Type A, which was an insecticide, and Type B, which was used for the homicidal gassings. This is another stupid fantasy. "Zyklon" in German is not an acronym, but, rather, an ordinary word meaning "cyclone". And not only did Zyklon B not contain chlorine, but the German word for nitrogen is "Stickstoff"!
As for Zyklon A, use of this product was discontinued in Germany in the 1920s, when it was superseded by Zyklon B.
Nyiszli mentions eight extermination operations in the alleged gas chamber and in the vicinity of the "cremation pits", at which he claims to have been personally present. Adding up the number of victims indicated by Nyiszli, we obtain a total of 605,000 persons, but he claims to have personally seen two million people enter the "gas chambers" with his own eyes. But in fact, near the "cremation pits", the final destination for the "excess numbers from the Jewish ramp," that is, those for whom there was no room in the over-filled gas chambers, 650,000 Jews were, according to him, killed with a bullet in the back of the neck, which is to say, more than the total of all the gassing victims, for the excess numbers of whom the "cremation pits" were supposed to have been dug in the first place.
Based on the data provided by this "eyewitness", we get over 30 million people, all cremated in these "cremation pits" alone!
Nyiszli's chronology is purely fictitious, as deduced from the numerous contradictions it contains. For example, if we follow the orthodox narrative, the presumed homicidal mass gassings ceased definitively on 17 November 1944, but for Nyiszli, 20,000 Jews from the ghetto of Theresienstadt were gassed, starting on that date.
One day in August, Nyiszli met his wife and daughter in Sector BIIc, but this meeting took place after the gassing of the gypsy camp (BIIe), which, for Nyiszli, occurred in the last ten days of September. What is more, according to his chronology, this meeting occurred in combination with that of Camp BIIc, and yet there was an interval of at least 26 days between the two alleged events.
Nyiszli moreover claims that the crematoria were located two kilometers from the Birkenau Camp, while in reality they were located inside the camp, and that the so-called Kanada warehouse barracks was not the Effektenlager (the camp warehouse containing the personal effects of the inmates), but, rather, a collection of rubbish which burned continuously!
In addition, Nyiszli knew nothing of the alleged "Bunker 2": according to him, this Polish farmhouse was not transformed into a homicidal gas chamber by the SS, but, rather, into an "undressing room" for the victims of the "cremation pits", who were then killed with a pistol shot to the back of the neck.

Provan writes:
> "Although Dr. Nyiszli was sent as a witness at the IG-Farben trial at Nuremberg, he did not testify, probably because he was only at Monowitz for two weeks and could only supply information of little value. He was allowed to return to Romania during the course of the same trial."[64]
In effect, the IG-Farben trial records contain no mention of Miklos Nyiszli being excused; he is not even mentioned.[65] Notwithstanding the simple fact that he never testified, upon returning to Romania, he immediately proceeded to write a series of articles entitled Tanu voltam Nürnbergen (I Was a Witness at Nuremberg) in which he pretended to have been interrogated by the Soviet representative of the defendant Emanuel Minskoff, quoting whole dialogues entirely invented by Nyiszli. The first of these mendacious articles appeared in the Világ newspaper on 18 April 1948.
According to the article by Carlo Mattogno linked above, Mengela's studies basically just consisted of anthrotardism:
After creating the school already mentioned above, Dr. Mengele created an "experimental laboratory," the location where the "camp research on the birth of twins and congenital anomalies"[11] was performed - in a word, the ogre's lair - to the head of which he appointed Dr. Bertold Epstein, from Prague. His assistant was another Czech, Dr. Rudolf Weiskopf (Vitek).[12] Two camp inmates also worked in Dr. Mengele's laboratory: a Polish anthropology Ph.D., Martyna Puzina,[13] and the Czech painter Dinah Gottliebova, who produced drawings of the parts of the body of the children under examination.[14]
The activities of this "experimental laboratory" are well documented:
> "The archives of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum contain numerous documents signed by Dr. Mengele, such as requests for analysis by the Institute of Hygiene."[15]
but no document attests to Dr. Mengele's presumed crimes. This is not at all surprising, considering the activities performed in his laboratory:
> "As shown by reports of inmates who performed tasks in the twins block, as well as reports from the twins themselves, the individual pairs of twins were subjected by Dr. Mengele to research of any kind, which constituted the starting point for the performance of the most varied types of experiments on the same. In general, they were subjected to anthropometric, morphological, psychiatric and radiological research. The anthropological research was initially performed in Dr. Mengele's laboratory in the sauna of the gypsy camp. In November 1944, this laboratory was transferred to barracks 15, in the vicinity of the men's hospital (BIIf). Every individual part of the body of the persons subjected to examination was measured in the most accurate manner: the twins were measured in pairs, comparing the results. The documentation contained annotations of the shape of the mouth, the nose, the muscles of the ears, the colour of the eyes and skin of the individual parts of the body.[16]
There was no criminal activity, therefore, and it is easy to see what M. Puzyna and D. Gottliebova's tasks consisted of: anthropometrical studies and anatomical drawings.
From Carlo Mattogno's book "An Auschwitz Doctor's Eyewitness Account - The Tall Tales of Dr. Mengele's Assistant Analyzed" (http://holocausthandbooks.com/index.php?page_id=37):
Mengele was not "a race biologist" (Chapter XV), but an anthropologist. His duties at Auschwitz were summarized by the SS garisson physician Dr. Wirths in an "Evaluation of SS Hauptsturmführer (of the reserve) Dr. Josef Mengele born on March 16, 1911" dated 19 August 1944:[342]
> "SS Hauptsturmführer Dr. Josef Mengele serves his duty at the office of the SS garrison physician Auschwitz, since May 30, 1943 [...]
>
> During his acitivities at Auschwitz Concentration Camp, he has applied his knowledge practically and theoretically as a camp doctor during the fight against severe epidemics. With circumspection, perseverance and vigor, he has fulfilled all the tasks assigned to him often under the most difficult conditions to the complete satisfaction of his superiors and has shown himself capable of coping with every situation. In addition, as an anthropologist, he has eagerly used the short time off-duty at his disposal to educate himself, and has made a valuable contribution with his work by evaluating the scientific material of anthropological science made accessible to him by his office. His achievements are therefore to be described as excellent. [...]
>
> In the most conscientious fulfillment of his duty as a physician, he contracted typhus during the combat against epidemics in Auschwitz. Due to his special achievements, he was awarded the War Merit Cross II. Cl[ass]. w/Sw[ords].
>
> In addition to his medical knowledge, Dr. M[engele]. has special knowledge as an anthropologist. He appears to be suitable for any other assignment and also for the next higher assignment."
From this document it appears that Mengele's main job was camp physician, and as such he distinguished himself in the fight against epidemics. He performed his activity as an anthropologist in his spare time (!), hence without a specific superior directive.
From the documents on Mengele reproduced by Kubica in the article mentioned earlier, it is evident that he performed his anthropological activity only in vivo, as Nyiszli would say, namely research in the areas of anthropometry (pp. 388, 393) and clinical psychiatry (p. 392). The documentation also includes analyses of x-ray images, urine and blood samples taken from inmates (pp. 394f.), a clinical record (pp. 398f.), as well as patient charts with temperature curves (pp. 400-402). He was also involved in research on the noma epidemic raging in the Gypsy camp, as is demonstrated by him sending the head of a 12-year-old boy to the Hygienic-Bacteriological Research Institute of the Waffen SS Southeast (Hygienisch-Bakteriologische Untersuchungsstelle der Waffen-SS, Südost) for histological examination (p. 394). The sender was the "Inmate Infirmary Gypsy Camp Auschwitz II, BIIe" ("Häftlingskrankenbau Zigeunerlager Auschwitz II, BIIe"). Noma, which spread among the children in this camp sector, is a disease that develops in the mouth and destroys the face, which is why it is also called noma facies.
Mengele also continued the research of Karen Magnussen, who had earlier studied some of the gypsy twins that were sent to Auschwitz (http://libgen.lc/index.php?req=menge...ng+angel+death):
Although he did put chemical drops in prisoners' eyes, he was not trying to Aryanize them, and his eye-related work at Auschwitz did include the "harvesting" of eyes from children with a particular condition and shipping them to the KWI-A in Berlin.
Both of these activities were carried out in collaboration with Dr. Karen Magnussen.... In October 1944 she announced that she was finishing work on a paper about the "histology of total heterochromia in humans," a study that benefited significantly from Mengele's presence in Auschwitz.[65]
After Mengele's return to Berlin in January 1943 from active duty on the Russian front, he was able to familiarize himself with the current research and personalities at the institute. During a visit there, he met Magnussen and learned of the project she had undertaken. As part of her research, she was examining a cluster of heterochromia in a single Sinti family. The family of Otto Mechlau had been brought to her attention by a colleague at the KWI-A, Georg Wagner, who worked in criminal biology and had written his dissertation on "Race-Biological Observations on Gypsies and Gypsy Twins."[66] The family was of particular interest not only because of its high incidence of heterochromia but also because it included several pairs of twins. The family offered a significant research opportunity for Magnussen as well, since the family members were interned nearby in the Zigeunerlager (Gypsy camp) in Marzahn, where she had access to them, could examine family members, and obtain a comprehensive family history.[67]
Although Magnussen was able to photograph the eyes of one set of twins, her research was dealt a blow in March 1943, when the entire Mechlau clan was deported to Auschwitz, as part of the massive deportation of Gypsies from the Greater Reich carried out by the Nazis beginning in December 1942. The internment of the family in Auschwitz, she claimed, severely complicated her work, indeed made it "nearly impossible," and only the "serendipitous transfer" of Mengele to Auschwitz as physician saved the situation. In her May 1949 denazification interrogation, she explained that her research was only "possible through the assistance of Dr. Mengele," who "enabled me to clarify inheritance" by "determining the eye color and establishing the relationships among the members of the family."[68] She wrote to Viktor Schwartz (who had been an associate of her Doktorvater, Alfred Kühn) that Mengele had "compiled the genealogy of the family and recorded the physical attributes precisely."[69] Mengele also prepared a genealogical chart of the Mechlau family for Magnussen.[70] "Mengele's work on Magnussen's behalf - the careful research and recording of family history - was similar to his work in his own dissertation, in which he had identified and described a physical anomaly and its frequency and occurrence in relevant family histories and genealogy.
Magnussen claims that she learned from Mengele that members of the family had contracted pulmonary tuberculosis, and she asked him to send her the autopsy reports and the "eye material" should anyone in the family die.[71] Only the dissection and laboratory analysis of the eye itself would yield the histological data necessary for her research. In her postwar statements, she suggested that her request for the eyes was predicated on the natural deaths of the subjects. Writing to Schwartz in 1949, she asked, "In cases of death should I thus dispense with the histological analysis of the unique, abnormal material just because the people happened to die in the camp?"[72] In her decidedly disingenuous May 1949 denazification interrogation, she said:
> "From the impression I gained from medical histories and from Mengele's very responsible and humanely decent attitude toward his interned patients and colleagues (he told me that he hoped to have one of the Polish female physicians, who was interned at Auschwitz, join the institute as a colleague after the war), the idea never occurred to me that anything could occur in Auschwitz that violated state, medical, or human laws.[73]"
(The book above was written by an orthodox historian, so when someone tells the truth, they have to describe it as "decidedly disingenuous".)
