Have there been Nazis or Germans who boasted that they shot

You're contradicting yourself. At first, you claim that people admitted to the holocaust in order to avoid the death penalty, and then you claim that people admitted to the holocaust even though they already had been sentenced to death.

No, there's no contradiction. Thousands of Germans were arrested, detained, and interrogated after the war. Many were beaten and tortured. Many were deprived of sleep and food. Many were threatened with life sentences and hanging. As such, they all reacted differently. Some refused to cooperate outright. Some admitted to anything demanded of them to stop the mistreatment. And some made deals that guaranteed their freedom. But none of them had any hope of getting a fair trial. After all, we're talking about military tribunals here.

This means that the testimony of these men is without credibility. It's impossible to know which ones were tortured or not. It's impossible to know which ones were promised leniency in exchange for untrue testimony. It's impossible to know which ones had their families threatened unless they cooperated fully. For all we know, all the Germans who admitted to the Holocaust were the ones being tortured behind the scenes.

So I see no reason to believe anything they say. Hell, even Allied sources confirm the mistreatment of German prisoners.

Tens of Thousands of individuals giving identical stories isn't enough for you

There are also tens of thousands of individuals who give contradictory stories. How do you know which side to believe?

The actual gas chambers and crematoriums isn't enough for you.

For one thing, crematoriums don't prove anything. Practically every funeral home in the United States has a crematorium, but that doesn't mean the United States is engaged in ethnic cleansing.

Secondly, what "actual" gas chambers are you referring to? You mean the fake ones that were reconstructed after the war by the Soviets? Even the people who run Auschwitz today admit that the gas chambers that are there now were reconstructed after the war. Part of that whole "history is written by the victors" thing.

The perpetrators admitting to it isn't enough for you.

No, not when there's evidence that they've been tortured or offered special deals.

I guarantee that if I were to kidnap you, lock you in a dungeon, and mistreat you for six months, I could get you to admit to something you never did in exchange for your freedom. People tend to want to save their own skins, even at the cost of their integrity.

The forensic evidence (skeletal remains in mass graves, layers of fat in the ground that could only come from massive burning pits filled with human bodies, the video and photographic evidence of burning pits/open graves/etc...) isn't good enough for you.

Surely you must be aware that a typhus epidemic was raging across Europe during the last year of the war, right? That millions of people were dying from disease, starvation, exposure, and constant bombing and artillery attacks, right? What do you think the Germans did with all those bodies? They didn't have the time, manpower, or resources to give each and every corpse a proper burial. Instead, they dug giant pits and dumped the corpses in by the hundreds. When the ground was hard and they couldn't dig pits, they burned bodies using petrol and wood to prevent the spread of disease.

So of course the Allies found mass graves all throughout the Reich after the war. The Germans had no special magic to make all those dead bodies disappear.

I think nothing will be good enough for you. Luckily, people like you are in the extreme minority.

Don't look now, but I just logically refuted every one of your points with very little effort. And I've got news for you. People like me, who don't accept the manufactured history of the Holohoax, are growing in number, not declining. More and more people are questioning the mainstream historical and political narrative they were raised to believe. So you better start coming up with better evidence, arguments, and talking points, or you'll find yourself on the losing end of many more debates in the future, just like this thread.
