The claims put forward by Leuchter and other denialists usually run along the following lines..
The levels of Zyklon B required to quickly and reliably kill a human are higher than that required for delousing, and are higher than those used in delousing, and do not correspond with witness accounts of the quantities used in the gas chambers.
The filtration/air cycling systems of the gas chambers would be insufficient to render the chambers safe-to-enter for the Sonderkommando to enter in a reasonable timeframe/a timeframe corroborating witness testimony.
The required levels of Zyklon B would result in staining on the walls of the chambers called 'Prussian Blue' due to a chemical reaction.
Actual, rigorous technical analyses decisively refuted all three of these claims, you can find more information, and an excellent .
It has been the height of folly to assign credibility to Fred Leuchter in the first place, he is a self employed electric chair repair man who has found himself on the wrong side of he for falsely claiming engineering credentials.
Who set himself up as an expert on the Holocaust, the samples he took from the inside of the gas chamber at Auschwitz that supposedly proved no gas was deployed, were by the test center. .. ok we have that straight.
Fred's electric chairs were no d good either, from memory he loaded the circuits up with 1200 volts @ about 8 and a half amps, whereas Japanese automatic abattoir tech asserts you need 400 volts at 22 amps to kill a full grown bullock.
Ok every time some poor devil was strapped to a Leuchter electric chair, when the power went on he was fried and jolted to death as the circuitry attempted to cope with the load, which burnt everything out whence the chairs went back to him for rewiring as he says in his video.
To carry out a successful judicial execution by electricity you need a system designed by a qualified electrical engineer not some good ol' boy tinkerer down on the farm, I hope y'all have learnt something.
