>it should be plainly evident
as you can see, it is not plainly evident.

unclear how this shows the existence of sonderkommando. these photographs do not support even the thesis that the same people were tasked to handle the dead which is much weaker. even if they did, which they don't, I should think that it's ordinary enough to have prisoners burn bodies if many people died. and, it's nothing out of the ordinary for someone to do the same job. i think that having a chef does not imply the existence of some sort of chefenkommando.

i know it is difficult to provide substantial evidence of this. it must feel like an impossible task to do so using only photographs. there are no uniforms, no reports, not even papers like a meal ticket with their rank status on it. none of these exist because it was a terrible war and much was lost. we should not expect to find every detail. but just because something is difficult to prove due to circumstances does not mean we should just believe it without evidence. therefore, if the rest of the photographs are of this nature, i think that i will conclude there is only eye-witness testimony.
