remarks on the interrogator of Rudolf Höss

The source of Höss’s figures

FURTHER to my earlier letter,
which sought to link the confession of Rudolf
Höss
to 2.5 to 3
million deaths at Auschwitz
with the testimony of Pery Broad, I now think
there is a more tangible connection:

1) A Major G I D Draper was the British
Prosecutor at the Tesch & Stabenow trial.

2) In his autobiography, Höss recalled: “After some days I was taken to Minden-on-the-Weser, the main interrogation centre in the British Zone. There I received further rough treatment at the hands of the English public prosecutor, a major.”

3) As pointed out by Robert Faurisson in his article “How the British Obtained the Confessions of Rudolf
Höss”
, a photo published in the Tom Bower
book, Blind Eye to Murder: Britain, America and the
Purging of Nazi Germany — A Pledge Betrayed

(Granada: London, Toronto, Sydney, New York, 1981) portrayed a “Colonel Gerald Draper of the British War
Crimes Group photographed as he finally

secured the confession of Rudolf Höss, the commandant of
Auschwitz, to the murder of three million people.”

The conclusion that we are concerned here with one and the same person appears irresistible.
