Over the next few days, Beger proceeded with his studies, performing detailed racial measurements in a small room in one of these blocks.  As the prisoners filed in, the sculptor Gabel stared at their faces.  "When I found a Jew who was especially interesting or remarkable," he later recalled, "Dr. Beger agreed that I should also make a cast of them."  In all likelihood, Gabel chose individuals who possessed one of the supposed Jewish traits - short head, fleshy lips, large ears.

Soviet POW losses and NOKW 2125

Comment: A secondary source discussing Nuremberg NOKW 2125 contents and Soviet POW losses

A report sent in by the Organization Branch of the OKW Prisoners of War Department on 1 May 1944 on the whereabouts of Russian prisoners stated that the total number of Red Army soldiers taken by the Germans was 5,165,381.  The returns recorded nearly 2 million 'deaths' under the heading 'wastage'; 280,000 other ranks and officers perished or vanished in the transit camps, and 1,030,157 prisoners shot while trying to escape or handed over to the SD and therefore liquidated or transferred to concentration camps.  The grand total of more than 3.3 million is likely to be too low than too high a figure, especially as by 1945 an estimated 5.7 million Russian soliders had reached German prisoner-of-war camps, of whome over one million survived.  To these must be added the so-called auxiliary forces and Osttruppen (Armenians, Causcasians, Mohammedans, Vlassov troops, etc.) 'with a probable strength of between 800,000 and one million.'

Comment: 2nd part of the documents of August 22 speech.  Originally published by Louis P Lochner in 1942, this version, according to William Shierer, was probably embellished either by Lochner or the German opposition.  Discussion of this issue and scottish journalist Ian Bell can be found here: http://littlegreyrabbit.wordpress.com/2011/03/17/correction-corner-ian-bell-of-the-herald-scotland-on-armenia-hitler-quotes-and-churchill/

Decision to attack Poland in the spring. Originally it was feared that due to political combinations, England, Russia, France, and Poland had to be fought against simultaneously. Even this risk would have had to be borne. Goering has stated that the Four Year Plan had failed and that we were at the end if we were not victbrious in the coming year.

Comment:  Presenting the original documents for discussion of the validity of the alleged "No one remembers the Armenians" quote of August 22 1939.  798-PS is unquestionably genuine, 1014-PS may be, neither mention Armenians.  Discussion on this issue and scottish journalist Ian Bell can be found here http://littlegreyrabbit.wordpress.com/2011/03/17/correction-corner-ian-bell-of-the-herald-scotland-on-armenia-hitler-quotes-and-churchill/

Jan Karski on Belzec Death Camp

Comment: Useful to demonstrate that visiting Izbica is not a viable explanation for Karski's testimony

 As a member of the underground, I was ordered to leave Warsaw and report to the Polish government and the Allied authorities about conditions in Poland.  My orders came from the delegate of the Polish governement acting somewhere in Poland and from the commander in chief of the underground army.  Jewish leaders confided to me their written report but they insisted that in order to be able to tell the truth I should see with my own eyes what actually happened to the Jews in Poland.  They arranged for me to visit one of the Jewish death camps.
