The hair, was rabbit hair: SS Angora Rabbit Project

The Nazis had Angora rabbit farms at 31 concentration camps including Auschwitz and Buchenwald. The Nazis selectively bred rabbits to create them as large as possible, using their hair in the production of warm clothing for the Germany military.

But with the Allies, inspired by the capture of Himmler's photo album, the sacks of rabbit hair at Auschwitz, became sacks of human hair.

Preeminent holocaust historian Raul Hilberg, wrote in his magnum opus The Destruction of the European Jews, first published in 1961: The Soviets liberated Auschwitz I & II in the afternoon of January 27, 1945, and the:

"Soviet investigation commission found seven tons of hair"

The Destruction of the European Jews: Volume 3, page 983

At the International Military Tribunal of the Major War Criminals which began in October 1945, it was stated by the prosecution lawyers what the Nazis used the human hair for:

"Out of combed and cut hair of women, hair-yarn socks for U-boat crews are to be made, as well as hair-felt stockings for employees of the Reich railways."

Soviet prosecution lawyer Counsellor Smirnov: IMT Aug 5, 1946

"He told us that so thorough were the henchmen of your friend Himmler that it took 5 minutes

extra to kill the women because they had to have their hair cut off as it was to be used for

making mattresses. Was nothing ever told you about this accretion to German material, which came from the effects of these people who were murdered?"

British prosecution lawyer: Maxwelle-Fyfe to Hermann Goering: IMT Jul 27, 1946

The Soviets present as evidence that the Nazis used human hair to make socks, document USSR-511. It is supposedly a letter sent to more than a dozen concentration camps in August 1942, from the SS Office of Economic Enterprises, relaying orders from Oswald Pohl (who hadn't yet been captured when the IMT began) it reads:

"that the hair of female prisoners be disinfected and

stored.

Men's hair can only be put to use if it is longer than 20 mm."

Other documents have also been used to back up the allegation the Nazis sold the hair of concentration

camp inmates. None of the above receipts indicate that this hair was human hair. Defenders of the human hair stories cite several other documents, a summary of which can be read here and here.

SS ANGORA RABBIT PROJECT

(THE DEVELOPMENT OF ANIMAL STOCK)

What is never stated is the fact the Nazis had the SS Angora Rabbit Project. Angora rabbits were

selectively bred to produce the largest specimens possibly. 31 different Nazi camps produced rabbits on a factory scale so their hair could be used in the manufacture of clothing.

A photo album made in 1943, 2 years after the introduction of the Angora Rabbit Project, proves the scale of this programme. The photo album which is covered in angora rabbit hair must have been a gift for Himmler, it was discovered by US Army Counter-Intelligence during the winter of 1944-5, in a barn at Himmler's Alpine villa.

Wisconsin Historical Society

The album was handed to the Wisconsin Historical Society in 1965, by Sigrid Schultz an American reporter and war correspondent based in Germany, who had interviewed Hitler several times. Born in America in 1901, aged 8 her family moved to Germany where she remained until injured in an Allied air-raid during WWII. She travelled back to the US in 1941, but accompanied the US army in the invasion of Normandy in 1944.

The Album

Page 54 states:

"total output between 1941 and 1943: 4370 kg angora-wool.

12,100 long sleeved undershirts, or 52,500 pairs of socks or 131,00 long underpants could be produced thereof."

So we have proof the Nazis made socks for the U-boat crews from rabbit hair.

Whereas at Nuremberg, the Soviet prosecutor accused them of using human hair. Where did the Soviets get the idea to mention "socks" of specifically "U-boat crews" ? Could it have originated from this photo album?

The packaged up rabbit hair on pages 52 & 53 look identical to the packages of "human" hair found and Auschwitz, with the exception of the relatively small amount of human hair thrown onto the carefully packaged hair.

This is a photograph of the Soviets inspecting bags of women's hair that was left behind by the Nazis when they evacuated the Auschwitz I concentration camp complex. This was the shorn hair of the women prisoners that was ready for shipment to be processed into hair cloth."
