6,000,000 jews over 12 years
500,000 jews per year
41,000 jews per month
~1300 jews per day
it takes ~3 hours to properly cremate a body, excluding processing time
this means that a single cremation unit can process an absolute maximum of 8 bodies in one day
it would require at least 150 cremation units operating 24/7 at full capacity for 12 years
this is assuming that the process began the very moment hitler became chancellor in 1933
most sources are in consensus that systematic killing didn't begin until 1941
many speculate that, due to the lack of crematory capacity found in the camps, large "burn pits" were used
however, crematory "burn pits" would be largely inefficient in comparison to actual crematoria
this is due to of the air gaps between the bodies in and the vast amount of space required
the thermal capacity required for this method would be significantly higher than standard cremation
have you ever tried to burn a body?
we used to burn deer carcasses
we would strip the usable meat, remove the skull, and burn the rest
it could easily take a day to burn a single stripped-down deer carcass using 2 gallons of gasoline
imagine that, but without the meat stripping and on a significantly larger scale
perhaps only deaths in concentration camps resulted in cremation
the jewish deaths resulting from warfare and shooting operations could be buried with soldiers
based on the reported data
>1000000 - auschwitz
> 925000 - treblinka
> 434508 - belzek
> 167000 - sobibor
> 156000 - chelmno
> 150000 - other camps
>2832508 - total estimated jewish deaths in concentration camps
so, it could be considered more accurate to run the numbers for 2,800,000 jews over 4 years
this is actually more unreasonable than 6,000,000 jews over 12 years
it is 700,000 per year in comparison to 500,000 per year
where do you get the space for that?
how do you fuel the fire?
let me tell you, if the holocaust really happened as it has been told, then nazi efficiency is to be truly admired
