[edit] "elimination traces"

"From July 1942 to 1944, he was entrusted with Aktion 1005, the task of eliminating all traces of mass murder and massacre carried out by the Germans in the Soviet Union. This was carried out by exhuming the bodies from mass graves and burning them, a task that Blobel optimized with techniques he had developed: alternating layers of bodies with firewood or the use of rails as grills."

I think these claims are somehow absurd.

Was this part of Babi Yar? His technical ability has never been equaled in history. Even ground penetrating radar and aerial photos ( done at the time of the crime ) were able to uncover the crime scene. He accomplished his job so well that only rumor and witness statements were ever found.

There are Nazi records detailing the massacre they committed at Babi Yar, and Blobel himself admitted to it (although he said he "only" killed about 15,000 people and said he was just folllowing orders). He also testified that he didn't have time to get rid of all of the bodies, and the Soviets found remains at the site. 165.189.169.190 (talk) 19:07, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
