"Q. You do admit, therefore, that you were an accomplice to
the murder of millions of Jews?
A. No, that I cannot admit. From the human – let me say
from the point of view of human guilt, a question which I
have to judge in a much graver manner, because in this
respect I must sit in judgment with myself – in this respect
I must admit that I have played my part, though under
orders. From the legal point of view, as a recipient of
orders, I had no choice but to carry out the orders I
received. How far the fact that I had to carry out part of
the deportations and that the Jews who were thus deported
found their death, how far I am legally guilty is a question
which, in my opinion, should be left until the question of
responsibility has been examined."
Note that at no time did Eichmann dispute that millions of Jews had been murdered and offer an alternative, whereby millions of Jews, of which he admits to being part of the deportations, remained alive. He only denies being an accomplice to the murders.
Eichmann, like every single Nazi who has ever been put on trial, failed to provide any evidence that would support so-called revisionist claims of no mass murders and evidence to construct a revised chronology of events.
