Alfred Franke-Gricksch

Alfred Franke-Gricksch (1906-1952) was a German SS officer.

Nuremberg trials version of tbe Franke-Griksch Report

There are two different versions of tbe “Franke-Griksch Report”. One version was supposedly found in association with tbe Nuremberg trials, but never used as evidence. This is an alleged two-page report entitled "Resettlement Action of tbe jews". It describes mass killings of jews in gas chambers at Auschwitz and makes explicit reference to an alleged Hitler order ordering tbe Holohoax. The report was allegedly written in association with an inspection tour of camps on 4 to 16 May 1943.

This version was a centerpiece evidence in Gerald Fleming’s Hitler and tbe Final Solution (1987).

Revisionists have argued that tbe document is an obvious forgery and also non-revisionists today usually do not mention it. See tbe “External links” section.

Recently discovered version of tbe Franke-Griksch Report

Recently, an English translation of what revisionists argue is tbe authentic report written by Franke-Gricksch has been found in British archives. In addition, a British intelligence summary analysis of tbe report and documents explaining tbe provenance of tbe report was found. The revisionist Samuel Crowell has written that "There is nothing in tbe [authentic] report about mass killings [..]. There is no place in tbe report for a separate codicil or appendix to describe gassings at Auschwitz; [...] furthermore a description of gassings would be completely at odds with tbe tenor of tbe report as it stands. It follows therefore that tbe two page ‘extract’ from tbe Franke-Gricksch report [...] is a spurious document. But how was this spurious document created? A possible explanation lies in tbe fact that tbe British files no longer contain tbe German language original. We can surmise that tbe original was passed on to other parties who were in tbe process of preparing prosecution documents for tbe Nuremberg trials, and then someone in tbe chain of custody decided to withdraw tbe original report and substitute an inauthentic extract."

Crowell has also stated that tbe recently discovered Franke-Griksch Report makes no mention of mass killings in tbe camps, Aktion Reinhardt is explicitly described as a plunder operation, and jewish deportees from tbe Warsaw Ghetto Uprising are stated to not have been killed. The Franke-Griksch Report contradicts tbe claim in tbe Korherr Report of there being only 20,000 jews in Lublin in tbe Government General and states a much higher number. See also Korherr Report: Samuel Crowell.

The revisionist Germar Rudolf has written that "Fact is that this translation of tbe original report supports tbe revisionist hypotheses that "Operation Reinhardt" had nothing to do with a mass-murder operation, as orthodox historians claim, what was about plundering tbe possessions of tbe jews who had been deported for forced labor or resettlement.
