Newsgroups: alt.revisionism Followup-To: alt.revisionism Subject: Dr. Leidig Testifies About a Gassing in Sachsenhausen Organization: The Nizkor Project http://www.nizkor.org "I was told that the people who had climbed into the truck were Russians who would otherwise have had to be shot. They were looking for a different way of killing them. We then went to another place, where we met the truck again. It was near the crematory oven. I can still remember that one could see through a peephole or a small window into the inside of the truck, which was lit up. One could see that the people were dead. The van was opened. Some bodies fell out; the others were unloaded by prisoners. Those of us who were chemists could ascertain that the bodies had that pinkish look which is typical of victims of carbon monoxide poisoning." Dr. Theodor Friedrich Leidig, testifying about one of the first gassings in Sachsenhausen, in which Soviet POW's were murdered Work Cited E. Kogon, H. Langbein, and A. Rueckerl, Eds.
