He's a wind up merchant. Just ignore him. All reporting on this thread just gives the oxygen of focus that he loves.

Cut off his air supply.

I agree. Cole has clearly gone mentally ill. He's lost it. Alcohol, genetics? All the above? Who cares?
I do not see why some of you chaps here even bother. You're dealing with a highly diminished individual.

From David Cole's monologue on why he (says) he believes the Korherr Report is "proof of the Holocaust" (see full text transcript):

DAVID COLE: So we have just a completely open and shut case.

Himmler receives the report. He doesn't like that line about "subjected to special treatment" in the eastern camps. He wants it changed to "processed through," or "sifted through,' the eastern camps. But Korherr ends up still using "special treatment," just not in that line. He moves it down a few more lines. So "special treatment" is still in there.

But we know from Himmler through Brons communique to Korherr. We know that initially it said "special treatment in the eastern camps" and then Himmler was like, "No, I don't think you want to be that specific!" And Himmler actually has used the term in a previous correspondence with Korherr, the need for camouflaged language in the report.

The most important thing is that when it comes to the evacuated Jews, we know exactly what happened to them. They are, scare quotes, "exited." They are subjected to special treatment to the eastern camps. They are not "emigrated." They are not in actual camps where people go for work. They are not in ghettos. They are not being used for labor. They're not in penitentiaries. They're not in Theresienstadt. All those things were listed separately, exclusively of the evacuation section. The evacuation people, the evacuation Jews are not in camps, ghettos, penitentiaries, the ghetto for the aged, and they're not being used as labor. And they have not emigrated.

[...] It's clear what this report was.

While other threads deal with Sonderbehandlung and what the term meant, here is Carlo Mattogno on what it meant in the Korherr Report (concluding a 19-page section on the Korherr Report):

The conclusion we may draw from the analysis of the Korherr report is that the “special treatment of Jews” stood only for the deportation of western Jews (those from the Altreich with Sudetenland, Ostmark and Protectorate) and of the eastern Jews (those from Ostgebiete with Bialystok and General Government with Lemberg) to the East, i.e. beyond the confines of the Greater German Reich. The Jews deported within these confines, in particular the roughly (121,428+8,500=) 130,000 Jews sent to Auschwitz, were not subjected to “special treatment.”

(From Sobibor: Holocaust Propaganda and Reality [2010], chapter 9)

two conceptual categories were needed:

(1) Deportation/detainment from one part of the (wartime) Reich to another, possibly use for for slave labor;
(2) Deportation/expulsion from the (wartime) Reich to a "foreign" area, though under German military control not designated part of the new Reich.

Category (2) was closer (but not equal) to the classic "expulsion" as experienced by Jews down through European history. Korherr, in his first report, labeled this group under Sonderbehandlung or Special Treatment -- being depatriated and expelled from a country is a unique situation for which one doesn't have normal words. Auschwitz itself was just within the legal limits of the (wartime) Reich, and none of the Jews deported to Auschwitz are labeled with Sonderbehandlung in Korherr.

I agree, but one must remember that to the average person, Cole is still "a Holocaust Denier/Revisionist."

They might call Cole "a semi-reformed Denier who has finally been forced to concede on some points, but still denies important parts of the Holocaust," something like that. He gets attention, so he is worth attention.

Age-50 David Cole's best argument for the Holocaust, stripped of the layers of insults and etc., is the Korherr Report. He explains why he finds this convincing. But it doesn't stand up to basic Revisionist scrutiny.

He gets attention, so he is worth attention.

This applies to David Irving, too, and in a considerably bigger way. Irving is the world's most famous Holocaust Denier despite insisting that he is a semi-Believer for many years now. (I believe Irving disbelieves the Holocaust, really in its entirety, and leaves hints to that effect in his recent writing. He is not like Cole the "drama queen.")

I found this little tid bit about a comment Cole made about Fred Luecher on Montrel
Juicy part is from 27:20 to 27:45. Link to Bitchute video: https://www.bitchute.com/video/vgSYdlZr35uJ/
Lately Cole has not been too nice to Fred in regards to his contribution to exposing the Hoax

I am not certain of this but wasn't there some speculation that Cole has bi-polar disorder?
