5 January 1944 Globocnik Report to Himmler (4024-PS) on Operation Reinhard(t)

[Wachtman]

Here's an observation, watching what's been happening in Washington for the past few months: The other side would love to be able to apply the concept of "Divide, and Conquer".

[Lamprecht]

Lamprecht, one more thing. You stated in your last post:

If these were extermination camps, we would expect enormous pits full of human remains, not random, scattered pits of 5-20 people.

Are you saying, or suggesting or even insinuating that there is evidence that "scattered pits of 5-20 people" were ever discovered or dug up or exposed in any way within the boundary of Treblinka II?

If we are to believe that some of the photographs I posted in that other thread were indeed from Treblinka 2. We shouldn't forget that Treblinka 1 also existed and that there was a typhus epidemic there that claimed lives. As I said, none of the photographs have accompanying maps telling us the location of the pit. Sturdy-Colls drew some nice maps of alleged mass graves but didn't excavate and photograph any of them. I would not be surprised if there were some mass graves (remember, the official definition of a mass grave is 3 or more bodies in 1 pit). We know from police reports for Belzec a large number of Jews in one poorly-managed anomalous transport perished of disease, see:

Prisoners dying in transit to the AR camps (Sobibor, Belzec, Treblinka) / other deaths / expected death tolls

In fact, I think that thread is more suited for any discussion of deaths in transit to T2+B+S, rather than this one, which is about a specific document.
