For fire purposes, this is what the Germans would have built

Admittedly they would have used a pump.

Nevertheless, the Auschwitz swimming pool is clearly built as recreational facility. That the water may have had other uses is not in dispute.

Yes, Use a pump to get the water up into the tank, but Luckly building fires are not an everyday occurrence,
Once in the tank and when needed, with a large diameter feed pipe and the turn of a valve, one could fill the tank truck very quickly without a pump which requires some kind of energy to drive the pump.

I can easily understand the purpose of gas chambers disguised as shower rooms (fooling the victims into quietly entering such facilities), but I fail to understand the purpose of a fire brigade reservoir disguised as a swimming pool (with a diving board and ladders!!). Any idea??? :?

Because that makes it extra-evil. The Germans were like "Ehehehehe, deez dum jews vill sink ziz iz fun place, ve'll have fun alright :twisted: "

The pool has ladders. Probably for maintenance. And these blocks there aren't starting blocks to jump off from, they are there to smash baby's heads against it.

Yeah, turning anything that doesn't fit the narrative into a fiendish "Nazi Trick". That's if it comes out, of course. It is wasn't part of the usual narrative, which started out with all the camps being 'extermination camps' with 'industrial style homicidal gas chambers'. That's at least an impression a dimwit would get from the first sykewar shockumentaries.

But top exterminationist historians also claim that the ultra-sadistic Nazis liked tormenting the Jewish deportees with the belief that they would be turned into soap, that the only way out of a Nazi camp was through the chimney of a crematorium, and that all their newly-arrived friends and relatives were already smoke rising up into the sky. :roll:

Any-time one of their lies gets too much attention, they start to blame it on "tse evil Nazis" as a distraction. Scapegoating and of course playing on prejudices there.

"Fire brigade reservoir built in the form of a swimming pool, probably in early 1944.".

Gas Chamber, disguised as Shower Room. Never used as Gas Chamber.

They were just so sneaky.
GAS CHAMBER: disguised as a "shower room"

And nothing is too ridiculous or extravagant to be alleged because contradicting Holohoax story-tellers is forbidden. That's regarded as apologia for Nazism, which instantly infuriates all the democratic lemmings as nothing else does.

In their mind it seems to work like this: If the Holocaust is untrue, than they won't have any argument left against National Socialism. That's literally what they think about this. Read remarks from famous Holocaust apologists that go into that direction, albeit this is usually a bit veiled by them. Since saying this to openly would reveal their bias and also the weakness of their arguments in toto. Without the Hilter2.0 myth lots of their other arguments in the fields of politics, society, religion, morality, culture etc. would also be rather pathetic. It's actually so important in their thinking and for the changes in society that followed world war two that I wonder, if a book on the subject wouldn't be warranted. It won't be a best seller, for now, but I can imagine that there will be a huge niche interest in it. Wasn't deconstructing, demythologizing and 'fact checking' the weapon of choice they used against the 'previous ages' political, social, cultural, religious and moral ideas? The old left had their 'class analysis' (which was generally Marxist in substance). They had their deconstruction of concepts like race, gender, sex, beauty, family, marriage. And well, trying to deconstruct religious texts does have a long hermeneutical tradition already since the enlightenment period. It was rather popular among academics prior to WW1 and became the standard within theological education since world war two. The arguments are often not the best, but the methodological approach is perhaps worth looking into.

When confronted with the recreational features of Auschwitz, the reaction is usually a sanctimonious one. "The are poking fun at the six million victims" or something like this. So those bringing it up, must be somehow impious. Like a cult they use the decency, respect and compassion of people against them. Cult leaders tend to be masters in this. They seem to have an 'answer for everything', especially for questions of laymen of course. If they deal with somebody knowledgeable they also got ways to sideline this. And they signal to their following that this person tried to hurt someone verbally or is somehow impure in his thoughts and character or something like this. This then is followed by ostracism. In too difficult cases there is of course other means to 'avoid trouble' for them. E.g. excommunicating the person or put them under 'church discipline' aka shunning. And they also create environments like this. A group of people being visited by a 'Holocaust survivor' that tells them stories is a bit like a church setting. And in that setting it is rare that somebody would stand up and say something in disagreement with the 'teaching' being peddled. Now those professional survivors usually just will tell the kids/audience that they were deported and did suffer and how bad it was. They barely say that they saw people being gassed. The substitute is that they saw people they knew 'never again'. It's not testable, so one needs to take their word on it. And I'd actually say that some of it will generally be true... E.g that they were detained at some stage. The "Holocaust Narrative" is then implied in this, perhaps a person will say that 'the Nazis gassed six million Jews', although I noticed that the gas chambers have diminished from most reporting on the subject now. Rather say 'killed', 'murdered', 'perished', which is more ambiguous in a way that it can dodge precise questions, easier. Since the audience is 99% unknowledgeable and the people speaking to them 'look nice', they probably will believe everything the hear. If not, they may actually come up with the excuse that this was long ago and the 'survivor's memory isn't as strong anymore... Probably correct, but they seem to have an excellent memory in terms of how detailed their accounts are at times. Which can be easily explained by 'witness coaching' of course.
