– The chemist has 1498 views, and the antifascist has only 322 views. So, the chemist should be the primary and the disambiguation page can be deleted. Hoops gza (talk) 00:03, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

False number needs to be corrected

The article mentions that four and one half million people were killed at Auschwitz. That number has been changed to one and one-half million now for over 20 years. The false claim of four and one-half should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.226.95.18 (talk) 20:03, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

maybe you were looking at an older article version, but the current one correctly states that the 4.5M number was a claim by the prosecution at his trial, not the reality. 76.119.30.87 (talk) 04:28, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

The article also states that the prosecution case was that six million had been killed by gassing. Yet the Wikipedia article on the gas refers to 1.2 million. It should be noted that the immediate post was estimates where exaggerated.203.184.41.226 (talk) 06:11, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

It gets really funny:"(The figure of 4.5 million victims was based on Soviet estimates released right after the war)". "Estimates", I think we can freely call that Soviet Propaganda. So the accused were convicted based on "estimates" with not a single murder case using Zyklon B ever proved. It could be preposterous, if it wasn't that tragic. --105.4.5.9 (talk) 00:29, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

Image removed

The canisters of Zyklon B in a museum are a poor use and the image is being repeatedly inserted without proper reason or relevance in pages where the item is merely mentioned. This is a form of image spam. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:02, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

This comment is nonsense. The article is about the maker of the gas and his eventual execution for providing this material to the SS at Auschwitz and elsewhere. Read the article and stop deleting the image. 217.43.231.132 (talk) 08:07, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

What do empty cans have to do with anything? The image is just a pile of them - seems to try and make a point instead of anything else. What part of Tesch & Stabenow did not manufacture Zyklon B nor any other chemicals. is hard to understand? Secondly, Sehm's testimony was disputed and I don't need to go poking around the The Journal of Historical Review for something like that. Seems a bit off to me, but I am not big on the 40s... ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:31, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

The empty cans of Zyklon B were supplied to Auschwitz to murder many people, and are so directly relevant to the bio of the supplier, the subject of the article. It was this direct evidence which helped to convict him in a British court and then his execution. 217.43.231.132 (talk) 08:14, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

mention in lede of why he was executed

the two interesting things about this person are that he invented Zyklon B and sold it to Nazis knowing it would be used to kill human beings. I think it should be mentioned in the lede that he was executed by the British for providing Zyklon B to the Nazis knowing it would be used to kill people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:FF01:4A86:61CD:10AD:2A47:A82B (talk) 23:18, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Holocaust denier used as a reference

fpp.co.uk is the website of Holocaust denier David Irving. The cited page purports to be a summary of the transcript and other records from the Tesch trial, accessed from the National Archives in the UK. While the statements in this article which reference Irving do not appear to reflect his views on the Holocaust, is there a more reliable source for that information? 23842947e (talk) 21:44, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
