After the war, US Military authorities claimed there were several gas chambers in Germany (to include Dachau). But because they were in the West, they were subject to examination by experts, and they were forced to quickly drop the claims. Those on the other side of the Iron Curtain, however, were not permitted to be critically examined, so the claims persisted unchallenged.


I’ve read a significant number of first hand eyewitness accounts from inmates and staff of the extermination camps. I tend to give those more credibility than anything produced from authors that weren’t there. The only motive for telling the story that I can ascertain would be to prevent it from happening again. You’ve obviously developed your opinion from sources you find credible as well. I believe however, your mind was made up and you cite sources to fit your preconceived, and I believe erroneous, ideas.
