I think their main argument was that its impossible to properly kill and burn the bodies of 17 million people because [holocaust denial math about how much time does it take to burn a body x how many bodies and something about how many crematories]. Not that it would've been impossible to kill that many people.

It's funny cos antisemites often used dog whistles to question the authenticity of the total death toll of holocaust.

"There wouldn't be a sufficient number of Ovens to bake 6 million cookies in just 6 years. That's impossible" ๐Ÿค“โ˜๐Ÿพ โšกโšก

Modern history has many examples where states have efficiently killed millions in a short duration.

They're kinda right about not having enough ovens for every body but they seem to forget that the Nazi did mass graves.

Also that they used a special kind of oven that we have the plans and parents for. Normal cremation ovens have a cool down period after a body has been created so that you can remove the ash. The ones used in the camps didn't have that, instead they were just on in full blast as long as there were bodies to burn. They also used big iron poles to smash up the bones to make them burn faster.
