Belzec/Kola - Going to extremes to sell the lie - Part 2

This 1945 investigation would no doubt be in the same ilk as those for other camps where the original reports were so blatant just about everything in them had to be swept far under the carpet and whole new tales made up. You will never see any Holocaust 'historians' referring to any of the initial reports.

Surprisingly Kola inserts a footnote number when mentioning the rail spur, "6. The side track existed there before 1940, because it is visible in air pictures taken on 26th May (the picture copy in the Archives of the ROPWIM): Air Photo Evidence...pg. 93,94:" which would be revisionist John Ball's book.

Presenting the two maps that are totally contrary to each other and to his own map we should wonder why Kola would do that. Reder's map shows, of all things, the rail track going into the middle of the camp emerging from a dense tree forest. Since there is no direction indicator on the map we have to study it for awhile to determine what would be north or south, east or west. Reder has mass graves shown totally in orderly lines and evenly spaced with 26 shown across the upper side of the camp and six more down the slope towards the bottom below the gas chambers. Kola's map will show mass graves having been concentrated almost everywhere else but where Reder and the other map has them. In fact Reder's map shows the area completely surrounded by trees which should make one think he never even saw the place since all the space at the bottom of the slope was totally wide open including where the rail spur was. Check out the 1940 - 1944 aerial recon shots on the above website.

That we get up to page 7. From there on to page 13 Kola more or less continues on with his introduction among a number of photos. Along the way he has a footnote that tells us about a full array of archaeologists that assisted in the study along with students, "volunteer historian" Tregenza and some unemployed town folk to do the manual work.

Kola also inserts in a tormented fashion that the study was intended for the reason of establishing monuments and alludes to that theme a couple of times more later on. Evidently they wouldn't want anyone to think it was to prove the Holocaust because that would establish a precedent and beg for some real professional documentation. It would also indicate they might be admitting that whatever there is on the Holocaust isn't enough. Then too it would beg the question of why, if it was to prove the Holocaust, didn't they invite in impartial parties to witness it all?

In spite of the several times the reader is told the study was to establish a memorial, like disclaimers, the book is obviously intended to present something that would verify the Holocaust story.

The first photo accompanying Kola's introduction is one of a rail "engine house" which is still in existence. That is where the victims belongings were supposed to have been stored. The next three are of the present memorial monuments. The next one is a photo of what was supposed to have been a information board to the arriving Jews. The next photo would be the one of the two guys in civilian clothes, one with his pants rolled up handling a thin pipe driven into the ground. In spite of the impressive listing of others being involved with the alleged study the two guys are the only ones shown. That would be the only photo in the book that would document that there was some 2220 corings performed that Kola says. The next photo is one of the present entrance gate to the grounds.

Kola advances the idea that the place was totally hidden and obscure to outside observation, "The pine forest from the north and east parts included in the camp area, which has been standing there up to the present days, made a natural protection of the execution place." The reality is that the two aerial recon shots rooted out from U.S. National Archives by John Ball, and referred to and shown in the book by Kola himself show that the place was totally treed over in 1940 and almost totally bared by 1944. Further facts are that the whole area is on a slope that rises some 40 feet from the bottom and there is an opposing slope going up the other way that rises up over 100 feet and thus some 60 feet higher than the alleged camp site, this opposing slope totally cleared for agriculture and would have permitted a panoramic view of whatever would have been going on directly across the shallow valley. Then we would have to assume that trees were cut down to make room for whatever buildings and in order to dig mass graves. It would be a matter of the more the extermination process went on the more trees that would have to have been cut down. Or the more exterminations the more exposed it would all have been.

Either Kola's map or Reder's would show us to what extent the place would have been cleared of trees. All the initial clearing would have been done by the late fall of 1942, according to Holocaust facts that tell us that's when all the mass extermination stopped. Then there would be the problem of when the Germans dug all the bodies back up and cremated them. The more cremated the more wood and the less there would be to hide the extermination process.

Near the bottom of the same page we have Kola writing, "At that place [at the lower part near the rail spur] a building of forestry authorities was erected after the war, which has existed until now whereas in the place of former warehouses a sawmill has been erected." The fact is, going by the aerial recon shots the rail spur was already in place in 1940, the slope was totally forested and then the 1944 photo shows almost all the trees gone which would paint the picture that the spur was there as a shunt or was put there to facilitate a logging operation that began before the war was over. That information causes a problem also. If they did get around to logging the slope what would have been left to cremate the bodies. Then too, where were all the logs stored if they weren't used for cremations? Or, was the logging operation going on while the mass exterminations were taking place?

Kola tells the reader that the Germans used wood soaked with flammable material to cremate the hundreds of thousands of bodies. It would only be logical to assume the wood would have been obtained from the slope. Thus we would have fresh cut wood as the fuel which would have been a problem to burn even if soaked with flammable material. Another major hurdle would have been the stump removal. Tree stumps are no easy thing to remove being anchored down by root systems radiating out and downwards. They would have to have been cut out near the surface by digging down around the stump, cutting off the roots at the base just to get it out and then the rest of the roots would have still been in the ground to cause agonizing resistance to digging any kind of excavation. One would think that just dealing with the trees, the cutting down, the cutting into sections to burn, removing the stumps and cutting down through the remaining root systems as they dug out foundations and mass graves would have been a epic procedure deserving of an explanation in stead of none whatsoever.

Continuing on Kola leads into telling the reader about the drillings and claims there "were chemical analysis and microscopic studies of samples" to determine what was found referring to a footnote No. 10 which tells us the archives are in ROPWiM. Kola explains the reason for that as, "They were made to verify the conclusions emerging from the archaeological analysis".

He describes how they used narrow and wide scope drills. The narrow gauge probes would be to find structures and those would be what we see the two guys in the photo using. Kola describes the wider scope drills as being 2.5 inches which would be what he says were used to take core samples. No photograph of these drills are presented in the book.

Seemingly in order to defend and justify the use of such drills in the quest for mass graves he lies outright or by omission by saying. "Using that type of drills in mass graves location had turned out to be useful in archaeological exhumation works in cemeteries of Polish officers murdered by NKWD [Russians] in spring of 1940 within the works of the so called 'Katyn crime'". Kola doesn't mention who did the drilling and he doesn't mention that the Germans were the ones that did a full blown professional study in 1943 at the place. Aside from the extensive dig the Germans did, they invited in forensic experts and journalists from other nations to witness the whole thing and photographed the whole procedure whereas it appears Kola working with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum went about doing whatever they did unannounced with the results only suddenly showing up.

Already Kola has been referring to what they found in the core samples which would be ashes, bone fragments and quite often masses of "wax fat". The latter would be the result of unburned bodies as Kola says due to compression and being buried near the water table. In one of the initial reports where it says they found evidence of remains of tens of thousands of bodies we were told that the core samplers hit layers of bone so dense that the drills couldn't penetrate. With all this we would have to recognize that if such evidence did and does exist it would be the mother of all Holocaust verification. So awesome that it would settle the controversy so utterly that all skeptics would have to retreat and never to be heard of again.
