There is no information about the gas chambers in Witld Pilecki's report

his is patently untrue. To confirm it, simply read ‘Witold Pilecki’s Report’, published numerous times in book form and also available online.

Facts:

Captain Pilecki’s Report, among other things, mentions:

Gas chambers were hastily being built in Birkenau, and some were already completed. … New transport deportees were gassed at a rate of over a thousand victims a day. Their bodies were burned in newly constructed crematoria. … Some of the deportees were brought to us, in the camp, to be registered and issued numbers, which by then had already exceeded forty thousand. Still, most of the transports went straight to Birkenau, where, without any registration, people were swiftly turned into smoke and ashes. At the time, around a thousand people on average were burned each day. Who were they, and why were they deported to be killed? These were Jews for the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, France, the Netherlands and other European countries. … Every day, railway transports with around a thousand people ended their course on a siding. The trains pulled up alongside a ramp, and there the deportees were unloaded. The mind boggles at what was going through the SS men’s heads. The wagons contained many women and children. Sometimes there were babies in cradles. Here they were to end their lives, all of them at the same time. … Later, these people would be divided into groups. Men and boys over the age of 13 were grouped together, separately from the women with children. … Next, hundreds of them, the women with children, separately from the men, had to go to barracks supposedly to be bathed (in reality, these barracks were gas chambers). … Inside, once the door was closed and sealed, the mass killing began. From a small cloistered balcony [i.e. a type of chimney chute], an SS man in a gas mask threw [Zyklon B] gas [pellets] onto the heads of the people gathered below. … This lasted several minutes. They waited for ten. Then the chambers were aired out, the doors on the side opposite the ramp were opened [here, Pilecki is describing mass extermination in makeshift gas chambers known as ‘the bunkers’ or ‘the little houses’] and the Kommandos [forced labour units] comprising Jews transported the still warm bodies in wheelbarrows and wagonettes [small rail trucks] to the nearby crematoria [cremation pits] where the corpses were swiftly burned. … In the meantime, hundreds more were directed to the gas chambers. In the future, they would refine their mass murder technology, after the implementation of which, the process was performed even more swiftly and efficiently. … When so many [patients] had been admitted to the hospital for several consecutive days that there was not enough room even with three lying in each bed, … the sick started being transported in trucks to the Birkenau gas chambers. … Then again, from the hundreds going to the gas chamber, the SS guards would pull out some of the young Jews. These were registered in the normal manner. They were sent to our blocks and put in various Kommandos [forced labour units]. … I suddenly noticed trucks with a larger number of SS guards pull up outside the typhus block (No. 20, under the new numbering). I admit that as I looked at that, my heart momentarily felt cold, and then hot. I thought of a reason why the SS had arrived, but what I was about to see was equally terrifying. The patients were being taken out and packed into the trucks. The very sick and barely conscious, as well as the able-bodied convalescents, those who had been sick a month ago, but were now just going through quarantine, were all loaded into the trucks and transported in several batches to the gas chambers. … Here are the numbers of those who died in Auschwitz. When I left Auschwitz, I remembered the serial number a hundred and twenty-one thousand and something. There were around twenty-three thousand who were still alive, had left in transports or had been released. Around ninety-seven thousand of the registered prisoners with numbers had died. But that has nothing to do with the vast numbers of people who, without any registration, were gassed and burned. The total number of these victims, based on the daily calculations by the Kommandos working nearby, was, up until I left Auschwitz, over two million.

Telegram sent by the KL Auschwitz commandant’s office to the offices of the secret state police (Gestapo), criminal police (Kripo), border police (Greko) and SS authorities in Berlin (the RSHA and WVHA), informing about the escape of two prisoners on 27 April 1943, one of whom was the Polish political prisoner Tomasz Serafiński, born in Bochnia on 18 March 1902 (it was under this name that Witold Pilecki had stayed in Auschwitz unrecognised by the SS). Source: A-BSMA
