1 quoteThe Mechanics of Mass Execution Explained
Werner Lampe
You do not think it was like that, do you? There were executions, yes, but nothing like that. Nothing at all! Pöhl. Pöhl! You ran those concentration camps, you and ]. They say we killed millions of people. Millions of people! How could it be possible? Tell them, how could it be possible?
[the other defendants are silent; turns to another prisoner; [Adolf Eichmann|Eichmann; scoffs]
Pöhl
It's possible.
[matter-of-fact]

How?

Pöhl
You mean, technically? It all depends on your facilities. Say you have two chambers to accommodate 2000 people apiece. Figure it out. It's possible to get rid of 10,000 in a half hour. You don't even need knives to do it. You can tell them they're going to take a shower, then instead of water, you turn on the gas. It's not the killing that's the problem, it's disposing of the bodies. That's the problem.
