Baron Bodissey, Conservative Swede and Jan Milld

Before you read my post below I suggest you read my four previous posts about Jan Milld which can be found online here, here, here and here, where the context of my writings and links below will be found.

The Swedish Holocaust-denier Lars Adelskogh has in his book "An empty bag cannot stand" according to Jan Milld taken the position that all of the following points are true:

1. The Germans didn`t plan and methodically carry out
the murder of Jews from 1941 to 1944.

2. The Germans didn`t use gas-chambers for the
purpose.

4. The only thing that the Nazis did to the Jews during World War II was that they subjected them to persecution, deprived them of their property, expelled them, put them in concentration camps, used them as forced labor and furthermore murdered millions of them through executions or systematic hardships.

5. Far fewer Jews than is officially claimed were actually murdered.

Jan Milld made a non-judgemental and at least in some ways sympathetic review, which I translated on this blog, where he defended Mr. Adelskog`s book as a work to be taken seriously and at least part of his argument as true and wrote:

"Enormous space has, not least through government campaigns the last few years, been devoted to the "holocaust". The circles behind this campaigning must reasonably think that Adelskogh is wholly wrong. If he is altogether wrong then this should not be difficult for them to prove."

I had also previously written and translated material about Mr. Milld, all of which Baron Bodissey of the Gates of Vienna blog had read, including Mr. Milld apparently agreeing with David Irving that there were no gas-chambers in Auschwitz, something that he in my opinion never distanced himself from in his public reply to my criticism. Upon reading my translation of Jan Milld`s review of Mr. Adelskogh`s book Baron Bodissey for some reason wrote that Mr. Milld was hereby, quote, "exonerated" from the charge of Holocaust-denial since, quote, "Whatever he may feel about the Jews, Jan Milld is obviously not denying the series of atrocities that we now know as the Holocaust."

In the interest of giving the complete picture, here are the links to all of Baron Bodissey`s posts regarding the recent events relating to Jan Milld:

The Strange Bedfellows Syndrome, Monday, August 06, 2007, by Baron Bodissey

Dancing Around Holocaust-Denial, Wednesday, August 08, 2007, by Baron Bodissey

Exonerating Jan Milld, Saturday, August 11, 2007, by Baron Bodissey

And according to blogger and Milld-defender Conservative Swede, Milld was not even being quote, "skeptical" about the Holocaust (see the comments section below Baron Bodissey`s blogpost). Also Conservative Swede stated that Adelskogh`s claims are, quote "minor issues". Furthermore Conservative Swede stated a few days earlier that he wanted the quote, "myths" and quote, "dogmas" of the Holocaust to be, quote, "scrutinized" (see the comments section below Baron Bodissey`s blogpost).
