Drobitski Yar

During the Nazi occupation of the Soviet city of Kharkov, many thousands of people were murdered in a ravine near the city known as Drobistki Yar. The majority of the victims were Kharkov Jews that had not managed to flee in time, most of whom were were killed in a large massacre in early January 1942.

«Evidence for the Presence of "Gassed" Jews in the Occupied Eastern Territories» (1)

Last Monday RODOH moderator nexgen586 opened a thread called Here be holonails...or not., in which he presented a link to the article Evidence for the Presence of "Gassed" Jews in the Occupied Eastern Territories, Part 1 by Thomas Kues, which appeared in the "Revisionist" journal Inconvenient History.

The accompanying comment of nexgen586 ("I have either been given a link to an exciting cache of newly manufactured holonails for you Manitou or a rather large loose screw. Anyway there may be something worth discussing for you all.") made me curious about whether Thomas Kues had indeed, as this comment suggested he might have, produced something a cut above run-of-the-mill "Revisionist" propaganda. Thus I had a closer look at Kues' article and presented my comments about that article on the aforementioned RODOH thread (posts 12308, 12309, 12310, 12311 and 12312).

These posts will be reproduced, with the necessary formatting and minor editing changes, in the present blog and further blogs to follow in the next days.

"... otherwise you’ll think that I’m bloodthirsty"

What follows is my translation of excerpts from letters written by police secretary (Polizeisekretär) Walter Mattner, administrative officer with the Local SS and Police Commander at Mogilev, to his wife between 22 September 1941 and 19 April 1942. The original text of these excerpts is transcribed on pages 27 and 28 of the document collection Deutscher Osten 1939-1945, edited by Klaus-Michael Mallmann, Volker Rieß and Wolfram Pyta, 2003 Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, Darmstadt. The source given is BAL (Bundesarchiv- Außenstelle Ludwigsburg - German Federal Archives, Branch Office Ludwigsburg), Dok. Slg. Verschiedenes (Document Collection Miscellaneous) 301 v (0.48), Fl. 260f., 263 ff.

Goebbels on 27 March 1942 – "Dalton" keeps on trying

In my blogs Goebbels on liquidation and Thomas Dalton responds to Roberto Muehlenkamp and Andrew Mathis (3), I demonstrated that the term "liquidated" in Goebbels’ diary entry of 27 March 1942 can have referred to nothing other than physical killing of the greater part the Jews from the General Government, who Goebbels thought would have to be liquidated whereas only a smaller part could be used for forced labor.
