… the following blogs have been updated:
Friedrich Jansson proudly presents … (third update, 14.05.2015), in response to Jansson’s blog More garbage disposal
Jansson is at it again … (second update, 13.05.2015), in response to Jansson’s blog Further remarks on Ettling and car fires
Just when I thought I had seen all of Jansson’s fits … (first update, 13.05.2015), in response to Jansson’s blog Muehlenkamp cornered, lies through his teeth
Jansson on 1942 births in Leningrad (first update, 13.05.2015), in response to Jansson’s blog More garbage disposal
There’s no history in "Revisionism" (first update, 14.05.2015), in response to Jansson’s blog Revisionism and History: response to Muehlenkamp’s regurgitation of Nick Terry
Jansson seems to be rather obsessed with this writer, to whom he has dedicated 5 blogs in a row since yesterday.
The last of these blogs, with the title On burial density in terms of mass of carcasses per cubic meter, was published today and will be addressed below.
Burial space at the Aktion Reinhard(t) extermination camps, especially at Bełżec, is one of Jansson’s main preoccupations. When I wrote the blog Friedrich Jansson on Burial Space, Jansson had already dedicated 12 blogs to presenting mass graves in which corpses or carcasses were buried over larger areas and/or in smaller concentrations (number of corpses/carcasses or corpse/carcass mass per cubic meter) than in the AR camps, as if that were an argument against the mathematically demonstrated possibility of burying in the relatively small areas of these camps the murdered deportees for whose fate "Revisionists" haven’t managed, more than 70 years after the events, to provide a remotely plausible let alone evidence-backed alternative explanation.
Unless I missed something, Jansson has not yet been able to explain why a calculated concentration of corpse mass per cubic meter in a mass grave (in this case 663.40 kg per cubic meter, but I can do with less as demonstrated in the blog Friedrich Jansson responded …, and that’s assuming that the 33 Bełżec mass graves identified by archaeologist Prof. Andrzej Kola were the only mass graves in the camp’s area, which according to Alex Bay was not the case), moreover one largely corroborated by Charles Provan’s experiment, should be impracticable just because lower concentrations of corpses or carcasses were practiced in mass graves at this and that other place. Yet he persists in his irrelevant exercises, of which his last blog is yet another.
Jansson asks his readers to accept that the aforementioned concentrations of corpse mass per cubic meter, whose physical impracticability he cannot demonstrate, were impracticable because somewhat lower concentrations of carcass mass in mass graves follow from one of his sources. Needless to say, this is a non sequitur argument.
Jansson further weakens his argument by pointing out that in all mass burials he has "studied", "the volume of the carcass mass is considerably less than the total excavated volume" - unless, of course, he can demonstrate that it is impossible to completely fill a mass grave’s excavated volume with corpses or carcasses, especially when there are no constraints to burial density such as may result from environmental considerations in mass burial of animal carcasses.
However, it doesn’t look like Jansson can provide such demonstration. The best he can manage is some feeble mumbling about human beings being more "concave" than livestock, and thus supposedly more difficult to accommodate in a mass grave.
Equally inconclusive is Jansson’s pointing out that the burial density for pigs he established on the basis of his source, 424 and 424.6 kg/m^3, is "very close to Carlo Mattogno’s estimate of 420 kg/m^3". Considering how Mattogno established this density (by assuming, also on the basis of data from burials carried out under circumstances rather different from those at the AR camps and without the space constraints under which these camps operated, that a maximum of six adult corpses can fit into on cubic meter, and then multiplying that number with an assumed adult weight of 70 kg, see the blog Mattogno, Graf & Kues on the Aktion Reinhard(t) Mass Graves (3)), one can only say: so what?
Despite not having demonstrated that the carcass burial volumes he established were the limit of what was practically achievable (the mentioned use of only a part of the excavated volume alone already speaks against this notion), Jansson ends his blog proclaiming that "Muehlenkamp overestimates the practically achievable value by over 50% – a truly enormous error".
To use one of Jansson’s own expressions, one can only laugh at how eagerly Jansson jumps to a conclusion that does not follow from his data.
