Z1 & Z5 would certainly make a lot of sense. But in order to have at least the same probability, and to contradict someone as Grabner, who, of the available witnesses, was in the best position to know (whose job in fact, included knowing about such things, because the Pol.Dep. was responsible for the morgue, and for it not being made kaputt by all this activity) and whose descriptions of the technical details related to the crematoria are pretty apt in general, one has to move from a mere possibility. For that one should at the very least establish the hole's form, size, and, yes, ascertain the position. Before this is done it cannot be argued that the two options have the same or nearly the same probability. Arguably not after that too. Although Z1 & Z5 needs to be kept in mind, of course.Sergey Romanovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04063444062099331337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24597325.post-4038385233545489062016-02-14T08:08:25.242+00:002016-02-14T08:08:25.242+00:00Well, Grabner's new testimony shifts some of t...Well, Grabner's new testimony shifts some of the likelihood from 2 to 3 holes. <br /><br />But I would not yet discard Z1. Even if it were appearing round today (being once a ventilation opening), this does not rule out it wasn't square before. You can obviously make a square opening to a bigger round opening. And that the Poles did not open Z1 is little telling if you consider their reconstruction is poor in any case. It seems they were guided by symmetry for a too big reconstructed gas chamber and discarded Z1 already for this reason. And <b>if</b> Mazal et al.'s position vs. Mattogno is true, then Z1 & Z5 is a combination not much inferior to Z2, Z4 & Z5 in terms of equal distribution. <br /><br />So I agree there is considerable probability for 3 openings (Z2, Z4 & Z5), but I wouldn't place it that much over 2 openings (Z1 & Z5), at least for now. ;-)Hans Metznerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746792258730274681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24597325.post-29435700815191645332016-02-14T01:09:35.932+00:002016-02-14T01:09:35.932+00:00Made a small update.Made a small update.Sergey Romanovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04063444062099331337noreply@blogger.com
