Talk:Martin Broszat

You fail to mention that Broszat broke ranks and declared that no gas chambers existed in Germany proper. Did he ever publish his documentation, etc concerning this. I believe he has never been contradicted or refuted in this matter - why? The following was add by User:159.105.80.92


 * If you mean by "Germany proper" the territory before WW2 then I don't see what is contentious. Gas chambers were build only in occupied areas, to my knowledge. 80.130.52.63 21:10, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

The point is that Broszat was the one who said this - most historians were comfortable with having gas chambers everywhere. Interestingly - ie Wannasee, etc articles ( anything holocaustic )- he also declared that 6 million is "symbolic" ( so I have read - true?) that there is not any document implicating Hitler in the holocaust - that actually ( according to this article ) underlinga went off on their own behind Hitler's back. Was he a revisionist or just a frustrated man who occasionally got cornered and blurted out unwise truths? Was he a scholar? The following was add by User:159.105.80.63

Eyewitness statements and war crime trials are full of gas chambers in almost every camp of any size in Germany. Brozsat slammed the door on this in about 1960. He never explained his reasoning and as far as I can find noone ever asked him. The evidence for gas chambers was every bit as good in Germany as Poland, but he never elaborated as to how he came to his conclusion, a conclusion that no ther historian of merit has dared contradict - the most interesting part of the whole story.159.105.80.80 18:21, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
