"No Nazi documentation describing the Holocaust." Another bullshit claim.
Himmler gave a 1942 report "Report to the Fuhrer on fighting against gangs" giving a figure of 342,000 Jews killed in the time period covered by the report.
1941 Jager report mentions Jews being exterminated in the Baltic states.
Korherr report: Over 2.5 million Jews have been moved to "special treatment" (German: Soberbehandlung). Eichmann testifies that Soberbehandlung is a euphemism for mass murder.
None of these documents are regarded as credible in proving the extermination thesis, either because they are highly probable forgeries (gangs report, Jaeger report) or because they simply do not say anything at all without absurdly interpreting "code words" (Korherr report). It's also obvious to point out that you can't have it both ways - either the Nazis were speaking in code about the extermination program or they weren't. And since only extremely dubious documents like Jaeger and the gangs report explicitly mention the killing of Jews, most Holocaust historians embrace the code hypothesis. It's also important to note that none of these documents have anything to do with gas chambers.
And by the way, it is not just my opinion that none of those documents stand up to scrutiny. That's the opinion of the vast majority of Holocaust scholars and historians. I will quote Jurgen Graf in his rebuttal of Hilberg's
Destruction of the European Jews (regarded as the supreme work documenting the Holocaust):
So essentially, given access to the millions upon millions of pages worth of Nazi records, most of which were seized immediately after the sudden collapse of the Third Reich (and thus couldn't be edited/doctored by the Allies or disposed of ahead of time by the Nazis) we find no documents that can even remotely suggest a deliberate extermination policy. Further, the majority of the dubious documents we do have were "discovered" by the Soviets years after the war ended, giving them plenty of time and motivation to produce forgeries. And yet even with additional time, these documents come with no supporting evidence whatsoever. Literally just a piece of paper that came out of a typewriter.
Given the sheer logistical and technical requirements with murdering six million people and disposing of their bodies without a trace, it is impossible to believe that the Nazis were able to destroy every piece of documentation and communication required for the organization of the program,
except these highly dubious reports. The code word theory is therefore the only even remotely believable option, and it is incredibly farfetched in its own right. Imagine trying to run a company while only speaking in code - even to the most lowly employee! It beggars belief that anything could be accomplished at all, much less with such precision that no physical or documentary evidence remained at all.
