'''Erich Fuchs''' (1902 – 1980) was an SS driver and mechanic, accused of being present or participating in mass killings during [[Action T4]] and at "[[Aktion Reinhard]]" camps.

Despite his alleged involvement in various atrocities, Fuchs was acquitted at the Bełżec Trial and sentenced to only 4 years imprisonment at the Sobibor Trial. This lenient treatment may have been related to his politically correct "confessions".

More recently, Fuchs has become a frequently cited "witness" by those arguing that the alleged [[carbon monoxide]] killings occurred by using gasoline exhaust, rather than by using diesel exhaust. See [[Holocaust_material_evidence#Gas_vans_and_gas_chambers_using_diesel_exhaust|Holocaust material evidence: Gas vans and gas chambers using diesel exhaust]] on this debate in general.

One example of criticisms of Fuchs's claims is regarding the engine type allegedly used at the [[Sobibor camp]]: "''Fuchs described the engine as being a V-8 water-cooled Russian engine presumably from a armored vehicle or tractor. [...] As Fuchs gave a rather detailed account of the engine with which he was held to have had such an intimate connection, it is reasonable that we attempt to ascertain its make and model.
