If you don't think these are determining factors then fine, I will simply hold you to the least favourable for you that is supported by the Judge / Star witness, that being 12 x 1kg tins per Jan Sehn or 5-7 + 3 = 8 - 10 1x KG tins as per Hoss.
I don't know what you are talking about here. You are inconsistent in assigning credibility to Hoss' testimony and then saying that he was lying.
This is what AI says about his testimony:
"Höss’s initial testimony was compromised by coercion and influence, and his early numbers were untenably high. Yet his later, more considered statements and memoirs remain historically valuable, especially when cross‑referenced with other evidence. So while not fully “debunked,” his Nuremberg affidavit is now seen as inaccurate, his later autobiography more trustworthy, and his core admission of mass murder at Auschwitz unequivocally affirmed."
After being extradited to Poland in 1946, Höss was held at Kraków’s Montelupich Prison. The Polish Supreme National Tribunal, preparing for his trial in 1947, encouraged him to write a detailed account of Auschwitz to serve as a historical record. He had already testified at Nuremberg, but Polish authorities wanted a full narrative from the camp commandant himself.
Höss stated that he wanted to “set the record straight” regarding:
His role in Auschwitz
The operational details of the camp
Corrections to what he claimed were exaggerations or misunderstandings in his earlier interrogations
He seemed motivated by a combination of:
Fatalism (he knew execution was inevitable)
Desire to leave a final account of his actions
Psychological unloading, attempting to explain his obedience to orders and the SS system
