unculbact said:Umm...what big gas cylinders?
Nobody ever claimed that there were big cylinders, full of gas at Auschwitz.
Maybe at Ouschwitz, but not at Auschwitz. At Auschwitz, and Birkenau, the gas was alleged to come from a pesticide called Zyklon-B, which came in cans of 250, 500, or 750 gram size. It was in solid form, and only became gas when exposed to the air. Cans of this pesticide were no bigger than a small can of paint. There was no need for big cylinders.
Here's a detailed description of all the facilities both at Auschwitz and Birkenau. If Zippy reads it, he can find out how that Nizkor site lied about compressed air being used on wood pyres. There were no air compressors for either wood or oven cremation. Krema's II and III had pulsed air injectors for air feed, but those aren't the same as compressors.

Soo...you've visited Oushwitz? If it's close to or the same thing as Auschwitz, you must have noted some various things. You mention ovens, and the only place where they have ovens on display is at Auschwitz itself (NOT Birkenau), so you must have seen these things on the tour too.
For instance, what did you think of the swimming pool the prisoners had at Auschwitz I? It's close to the main gate.
Did they show you the ice cream machines in the kitchens?
The brothel for the prisoners?
The theater, complete with the posters for the original plays the inmates wrote and staged? An original copy of "The Auschwitz Waltz", composed by one of the inmates, is on display there.
Near Block 11 is the office of the Auschwitz State Museum. What did you think of Dr. Piper, the director? He usually greets tours.
When you toured what they pass off as the original gas chamber for Krema I, did you notice the sewer grate in the floor? Bad idea in a gas chamber. That sewer connects to the SS Hospital across the street - you noticed that too, right? Lots of SS patients must have been killed by the fumes.
Do tell.
Its not fair asking all the hard questions first
