Sources on a Gas Van in Belzec Extermination Camp

According to the member of the Belzec staff and later commandant of Treblinka, Kurt Franz, a homicidal gas van existed in Belzec prior the operation of the stationary gas chambers. Lorenz Hackenholt is supposed to have been involved in the construction of the gas van, which Franz described as a converted parcel van. Some corroboration can be found in the testimony of Anna Fuchs - the former wife of the gassing device specialist Erich Fuchs -, who stated that her former husband drove a closed parcel van during his Euthanasia time and wrote her from Belzec that he drove a gas van.

Testimony of Vinzenz Nohel, 4th September 1945

Vinzenz Nohel was a stoker (brenner) at Hartheim. His testimony, given to the Kriminalpolizei Linz, is one of the earliest gassing accounts given by a 'euthanasia' perpetrator. Its provenance is significant because the statement was given to Austrian police, who were investigating crimes by their own nationals, and the interrogation took place six months earlier than the American military trial that led to Nohel's execution. Austrian police investigations, which have, to my knowledge, been totally ignored by deniers, produced a crucial body of testimony that implicates Aktion Reinhard personnel in 'euthanasia' murders.
