Historians agree that there were no gassings at Bergen-Belsen. They have proved that with testimony from camp staff, prisoners and documents. Why can you not do that with TII?
Historians have used evidence from the same type of sources as was used at Bergen-Belsen, to prove no mass gassings took place at Dachau, even though it had a gas chamber and there may have been some limited gassings under Action 14f13.
The point you are dancing around, it that historians use evidence to prove something did not happen, which is something you cannot do, so you resort to argument.
So now you are pivoting to Bergen-Belsen. Okay. You think this is a big win the historians? Nope. Gassings were basically never part of the lore Bergen-Belsen (or Buchenwald).
Why was that? Could it be to do with the evidence from staff etc, that proves the camp never had gas chambers?
You could perhaps find some very obscure, stray gassing claims, but generally this was never claimed, so it never made into the war crimes trials or into the history which overwhelming rely on those same trials.
Any gassing of Bergen-Belsen or indeed other labour camp, fell under the Action 14f13 euthanasia of mentally infirm prisoners and they were transported to the euthanasia hospitals.
Only in Dachau was there some sort of reversal which, again, not everyone agrees on.
Dachau is interesting because it had gas chambers. You would think that a hoax would have had those gas chambers in regular use killing hundreds of thousands. But, there is a problem....evidence! The Dachau staff were not prepared to lie and admit to mass gassings and no Jewish prisoner could be found to lie about working at the gas chambers. Then, camp documents recorded that the vast majority of prisoners could be accounted for.
At Majdanek the scale has been reduced enormously but they cannot concede the gas chambers there are a hoax because it would destroy everything.
Say evidence appeared, from someone who had worked at Majdanek, or another source, that proved the delousing chambers were never used for gassing, that would not destroy everything. It would only mean that claims about Majdanek had been found to be false.
So, there is evidence to make a case against mass gassing at Bergen-Belsen and Dachau, but not Majdanek. Each history is driven by the evidence, which is how history is normally determined, except when it comes to Holocaust deniers.
