Introduction to Revisionist Thought By Ernst Zündel
6. The Revisionist Claim: "Zyklon B was a fumigant. It wasn't a practical agent for mass murder."
A big deal is made by the Holocaust Promotion Lobby about all the many invoices they have found for a delousing compound. So what? Lice which carried deadly diseases like typhus were a horrific sanitation problem during WW II for friend and enemy alike. As a matter of fact, refugees and soldiers alike were routinely and periodically deloused. (And, by the way, their hair was shorn as well to make delousing easier).
The German Army, the SS, German civilian companies, hospitals, factories, ships, what have you - all used this Zyklon B compound during the war to get rid of vermin. All of them were issued invoices. The German Wehrmacht had stacks and stacks of them. Does that mean the German Army killed all of its own soldiers? Nonsense!
Zyklon B was a very effective means for killing vermin used for many armies, including the US Army, well into the 1970s. Even more to the point, and even more telling, is the fact that there are lots of invoices for Zyklon B for concentration camps like Oranienburg and Theresienstadt,where no one claims people were gassed.All these "incriminating" invoices, whether for the Army or the civilian concentration camps, prove only one thing: The Germans wanted to save lives - even their enemies' lives - by killing lice and other vermin.

Introduction
The Revisionist claim:
PART I - The Holocaust is useful postwar propaganda that started as a systematic, insidious campaign during World War II as one of the tactics employed by moneyed interests to rally the troops and engage the world, specifically America, in what turned out to be, essentially, a fratricidal war.
PART II - There is no proof that the Holocaust, as depicted by the Holocaust Promotion Lobby and the highly politicized Hollywood industry, actually occurred.
PART III - The numbers of "Holocaust" victims are irresponsibly exaggerated.
PART IV - Official state policy towards the Jews in the Third Reich was emigration, not extermination.
PART V - Not a single document has been found with Hitler's signature ordering the extermination of the Jews.
PART VI - Zyklon B was a fumigant. It wasn't a practical agent for mass murder.
PART VII - Zyklon B was highly toxic. This being so, it would have been foolish and counterproductive to endanger Third Reich personnel engaged in allegedly pulling bodies from the execution chambers shortly after they were "gassed."
PART VIII - American execution expert, Fred Leuchter, delivered a scientific break-through in proving that the so-called gas chambers at Auschwitz could not have been used for their alleged purpose."
