No problem.
He's was the first revisionist to analyse aerial photos to my knowledge, but Brugioni and Poirer published their paper "The Holocaust Revisited: A Retrospective Analysis of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Extermination Complex" in February 1979.
http://cryptome.org/0003/cia-auschwitz.pdfBut neither Brugioni/Poirer, nor John Ball, offered an analysis of the photos in the British ACIU collection at Keele Uni., because no one was was aware of their existence until the 21st century.

But the claim that these blobs—whatever they are—were drawn on by the CIA in the 1970s, is untenable.
Of course I never said the Jew blobs were drawn in
by the CIA, but clearly someone has been fooling around. Enlarged they look more like fuzzy caterpillars.
The same is true for the tampered-with, drawn in Zyklon-B 'holes' that someone added to the Auschwitz crematorium in hopes of fooling the uninitiated.
I don't have a complete list of the photos in which the alleged Zyklon B introduction chimneys appears, but these are the ones I know of:
May 31, 1944 (SAAF photo, NARA Maryland)
July 8, 1944 (Luftwaffe photo, NARA Maryland)
Aug 23, 1944 (SAAF photo, ACIU collection at Keele Uni.) x 2
Aug 25, 1944 (SAAF photo, NARA Maryland)
Aug 25, 1944 (SAAF photo, ACIU collection at Keele Uni.) possibly more than 1
Sep 13, 1944 (USAF photo, NARA Maryland)
It's at least seven separate photos that the alleged Zyklon B introduction chimneys appear.
Those who claim that the aerial photos have been tampered with, need to offer a theory as to whom did the tampering, and when; to the photos in the US (NARA Maryland) and in those in Britain (ACIU collection at Keele Uni.).
Germar Rudolf wrote the following of the British collection:
I think it was in the late nineties that a small news item in England mentioned that millions of air photos of WWII taken by the Royal British Air Force (and perhaps even some photos by the German Luftwaffe confiscated after the war by the British) were hidden in an Archive of Keele University. Nobody else seemed to pay a lot of attention to this news item. At that time I lived in England, and at one of my meetings with my revisionist friend Jeff Roberts, we discussed this topic. (Roberts is the creator of Carlos W. Porter’s website
http://www.cwporter.com). We agreed that it was necessary to get access to this archive in the hope of finding more air photo evidence regarding alleged locations of the Holocaust.
Jeff subsequently traveled many times to Keele University. He found out that Keele University had many British as well as captured German air photos, many of the latter covering areas behind the German-Russian front during the war. The negatives were in total disorder, its archive threatened to be dissolved due to lack of funds. After many visits, many hours of talking to the people in charge, he finally managed to get a project started to organize these air photos, in which he selflessly assisted, and he even indicated to me some two years ago that he appears to have succeeded in convincing Keele University to make those photos publicly accessible by offering them on the Internet.
In January of 2004, the international news media announced that Keele University has now indeed opened a website offering access to some of its air photos, accessible at
http://www.evidenceincamera.co.uk. Unfortunately, however, only the British air photos seem to be offered for public access, but not the German negatives.
Due to the massive public attention in the weeks that followed the launching and announcement of the site, requests had been so huge that the bandwidth used exceeded the amount allotted to their server, resulting in the site being taken down temporarily.
As could be expected, the media hype generated around this “discovery” – a discovery made possible because of the selfless efforts of just one almost unknown revisionist – was filled with the usual lies.
