I don't doubt that article at all!

But did Nazi Chemists, while trying to figure out ways to monetize corpses, attempt to figure out whether the chemistry or the economics works? Again... Maybe, maybe not. There was a lot of very sick, twisted stuff going on. Medical experiments of all kinds. The whole 'twins' studies. Attempts made to improve pilots survivability in cold water using concentration camp inmates as test subjects... all documented.

Trying to make soap? Well, I won't say no, they didn't think about it. Even if I agree completely that they didn't produce it.

Are there bars of soap still around. I'd say no. Not a chance.

But that still does not mean that, historically, one can say never. Or always. It's tenuous. It's dangerous.

Cheers,

Sirhr

…Well, an author can lie about a DNA test. A lamp made in some faraway land might be passed off as Nazi. The whole thing might be fake. All plausible.
…That does not mean that something is a total myth and more fodder for bat5h1+-crazy Holocaust deniers.

As you acknowledge, the provenance of the item and the mere claim of "DNA proven" are dubious. The myth stems from claims about Ilse Koch. Those specific claims were definitively disproven. I submit that there are orders of magnitude more "bat5h1+-crazy" BIG LIARS than "DNA proven" human lampshades. You speculate about lampshades, another guy speculates about "soap," also disproven. Truth and solid evidence motivate me.

^^^ On that we will agree

But

On this we agree.

But calling something settled is equally risky. As long as people keep looking for evidence... and finding it... or not finding it... then there is history to be written! There is an infinite amount of history to be done. Because there are an unthinkable number of experiences and viewpoints and even pieces of evidence... and most will never be known. But some are still out there! Waiting to be discovered or proven or disproven...

If i swallow watermelon seeds and drink enough beer i can shit and stick them into a privacy fence and grow my own hanging garden an Babylon. I was not speculating anything , didnt even read the article posted up, just replying something that i remember an old man that was supposedly over there said when i was a kid. , hell that old fucker may not have even been old enough to be there. I was a kid and back then ,50 was old, or did science prove that wrong?

Not really. Frankly it's nose heavy. A lot of understeer. But it would really set you back in the seat. It was comfortable to drive as long as you weren't shifting gears. My left leg got bigger than my right. 55 mph back then was a good thing with no overdrive in them gears.

A good friend had one and he could toast me in my ‘69 Camaro in the straight, but put tight corners at speed into the mix and that fat ass end would beat the front end around a corner if you weren’t careful. The ‘69 Camaro was also light in the back, but overall lighter than the 442 and could take corners sideways like it was meant to do so.

Honestly, the modern takes on the original pony and muscle cars are much much better in all aspects except nostalgia. Much less dangerous to drive and higher performance too.

I just wish that they didn't cost an obscene amount of money... and that you could still get a stripped down rocket.

Time value of money

If a corvette in 1969 cost 4,400-4,800
4,800 at 5.5% for 50 years is about 70k

So cars give you a lot more performance and a 100k tune up to boot for the same amount of money


In the year 1969, the United States minimum wage was $1.60. This is equivalent to $11.32 in 2019 dollars.
