Werd, you said:
"While I agree about the problems of Nuermburg documents as outlined by Carlos Porter, I do seem to detect a hypocrisy on another front. Lily will use decrypts from the British to show there was no solid information about gas chambers, but he will dodge decrypts from the British which picked up information about x rays and sterilization. In other words, is Lily cherry picking?"
No, Lily is not.
Indeed, the LACK of 'gassings' being mentioned in actual decodes means the lack of gassings.
However, in the claimed 'decodes: cited here:
http://www.fpp.co.uk/Auschwitz/docs/PoliceDecodes.html
There is text which is obviously additional to the decode content that was added by someone at some time later, Breitman perhaps.
I see no actual decodes.
the link says:
"On October 26, 1942 the codebreakers found Berlin warning Auschwitz to stand by to receive two visitors from the Führer's Chancellery in Berlin - the agency supervising euthanasia and various other killing schemes - for a lengthy stay at the camp: they would be setting up an X-ray sterilisation operation, the radio signal said (this being the method chosen by the S.S. to keep the Jews from breeding). (GC&CS German Police Section intercept: Lolling, Amt D III, to Auschwitz, Oct 26, 1942 (PRO file HW.16/11)."
Here are the obviously added / faked parts:
- "and various other killing schemes"
As if a German radio message would say that, laughable
- "(this being the method chosen by the S.S. to keep the Jews from breeding)"
Again, just thrown in, not something from a German radio transmission.
All just window dressing added after the fact.
As I said previously, there are multiple reasons that sterilization can occur, or is warranted (cancer, sex crimes, the potential for passing genetic diseases, etc.).
I should also remind you of the many, many Jewish births in the labor camps.
Some program "to keep the Jews from breeding" that was.
I hope that helps you, Werd.
