........And in all likelihood, it would take even much longer than that. The gas that was utilized by the nαzι regime for chemical execution was Zyklon B, which is prussic acid held in a substrate. Optimal time of fatality with prussic acid is approximately 20 - 30 minutes, and that's assuming a single person (not dozens) with 150mg per cubic meter concentration in the air (a not inconsiderable concentration when one realizes that they would've had to have enough on hand to do it repeatedly in chambers that were measured to have been a approximately 30 square meters), and proper ventilation of a normal room can take up to 10 hours.
Also add to the fact that even at optimum temperature of 1200 - 1400 degrees, total cremation of a human body takes approximately 2 - 2.5 hours. No, the math doesn't bare out the figures so often quoted.
No, the historical facts do not substantiate the popular claim (or should I say "acclaim?"***). But history and facts are not important when it comes to the sacred false god of MSM pronouncement, whatever the curent fad would be. Right now, it's the Shoah (erstwhile h0Ɩ0cαųst). Prison terms and fines await any denier of the MSM false god dogma, current offenders are "h0Ɩ0cαųst deniers," perhaps soon to become "Shoa deniers."
Coming soon to a theater near you!! Ta-ta-tatata-ta-taaaaah. :rahrah:
Pope St. Pius X foresaw things in our age that would come to pass, and when he used words like the following, it would seem he could have been talking about this new MSM false god: "...a certain pestilence in the air which penetrates everywhere and spreads the contagion."***
Technical articles are available that explain how Zyklon B was used by the nαzιs, yes, but not for execution. It was a de-lousing insecticide, to kill lice and other vermin. The nαzιs were very frugal and efficient. They protected the prisoners in the camps from lice, while practical to do so, in order to secure their labor productiveness in the factories and assembly plants where they built the nαzι war machine. Why, then would the efficient nαzιs kill off their captive slave labor? Their purpose was to WIN the war. That's perhaps a concept too challenging for today's liberal mind where NOT winning the VietNam war is a plausible concept to consider. Or NOT winning in Iran, by NOT taking Baghdad. Or NOT winning in Afghanistan, because there are too many caves or cavemen or whatever.
The use of Zyklon B for insecticide involves a diluted dose, that would not be harmful to humans, used primarily on the clothing. If it were used to exterminate people, the efficiency would be stupid, and the nαzιs may have been many things, but "stupid" is not among the list. Expensive, time consuming, dangerous practices that kill off slave factory labor workers are not ways of winning a war.
As for cremation, why would the nαzιs whose fuel supplies were tapped to the limit by the war effort, endeavor to use MORE fuel for burning bodies they could bury more cheaply? That's when they were developing synthetic fuels to keep their Tiger tanks running. Thirsty tanks. Good tanks, but thirsty is a problem when (sarcasm) you're burning fuel to cremate your factory workers (/sarcasm).
Add to all that, the docuмented inability of forensic studies to find any trace of ash consequent to human body cremation at any one of the many sites allegedly where the cremations were held, and the picture doesn't look good for the Shoah theorists. But remember, facts don't matter. No facts of history are admissible as evidence in h0Ɩ0cαųst Denial Court. Facts like that don't matter. They have said so, and what is said is the Word of the false god.
Word.
***For this reason, it is a matter of great surprise that this type of criticism can be so well received by certain Catholics. Two causes may be assigned for this: first, is the close alliance, notwithstanding differences of nationality or religion, that the historians and critics of this school have formed among themselves; second, the incredible audacity of these men.
If one of them but opens his mouth, the others applaud him in chorus, proclaiming that science has made another step forward; if someone denies it, he is accused of ignorance; if, however, he accepts and defends it, he is covered with praise. In this way, they manage to fool many who, if they would consider the matter better, they would step back horrified. The powerful imposition of the corrupted and the naive assent of the pusillanimous have combined to produce
a certain pestilence in the air which penetrates everywhere and spreads the contagion.
Encyclical Pascendi Dominici gregis, nn. 33-34,

"...applaud him in chorus, ... covered with praise," is the connotation that I was
using when I said "acclaim," above. ***
