The speaker states that prior to inspecting facilities, they agreed to clearly report whether the facilities could have sustained gas executions. They brought standard equipment for prison surveys, including a draftsman for measurements. A photographer documented forensic samples taken from Birkenau and alleged gas execution rooms. Samples were tested to confirm visual inspections indicating the facilities never contained hydrogen cyanide.
The speaker determined the facilities were not and could not have been gas execution facilities due to their design and fabrication. Requirements for facilities containing explosive and poisonous gas, such as gasketed doors, no windows, gas input/output, temperature control, and explosion-proof equipment, were absent. The buildings were brick and mortar, lacked heat and gasketed doors, and had crematories nearby. The speaker believes that operating such a facility would have resulted in the operators' deaths via gassing or explosion.
The speaker read literature and eyewitness reports to understand execution protocols. They concluded there were no valid eyewitness accounts of gassings, stating, "there are no eyewitnesses because there were no gasps."
