My word! The holocaust was worse than we imagined. 26 million people turned into soap by the Nazis. I’d heard that the Nazis were into ethnic cleansing and apparently they meant it literally. Imagine all the soap suds when 1,200,000 people were liquidated that day in Auschwitz. You could almost say “I see lies, horrid lies and the Soła foaming with much suds”.
On the holocaust mathematical side of the equation. 26,000,000 people were murdered and turned into soap. 6,000,000 of them Jews so that leaves just 2 Gentiles. They were probably just turned into ashtrays. Ergo
26,000,000 – 6,000,000 = 2
But seriously, absurdities like this have help form the narrative of the whole holocaust legend. In the wake of Amazon crumbling under pressure from the holocaust industry, books pointing out the ridiculous nonsense like the soap stories and the complete unfeasibility of the “Gas Chambers” have been banned from sale on the site. It’s a worn out old adage but true, “Truth does not fear investigation” so why imprison or censor anyone who investigates the “Truth”?
Text reads:
“NAZIS MADE SOAP OF 26 MILLION PEOPLE”
Colonel MANTOUT, 38-year-old French Air Force officer directing Frances drive to bring minor war criminals to Justice, declared in Paris yesterday that the Germans made soap from the remains of murdered people in death camps.
At least 26,000,000 persons were methodically exterminated in camps, he said. He had collected evidence showing that on one day in April, 1944, 1,200,000 people were liquidated in the various camps at Auschwitz, Poland

Apocalypsis 
Think about that assinine assertion: “on one day in April, 1944, 1,200,000 people were liquidated in the various camps at Auschwitz, Poland”
If killing 24 hours straight, that would mean 50,000 persons killed per hour! Absurd nonsense, and it is precisely because over time the holocaust fanatics kept spitting out more sensationalistic nonsense that some people began to scrutinize their claims back in the 1970s.

Yes it does show up again and the “fact” is that this was printed and published as news.

Where does the 26,000,000 and 1,200,000 show up again?
Also, where does this mention Jews?
Just as a follow up, what type of newspaper was the “Northern Whig?”
Was this a reputable newspaper like the New York Times or some type of scandal sheet?

OK, so, I’ve looked into this a bit further (I have some time on my hands because the servers are down at work).
I can only find references to Mantout on denier sites. I’ll link to this one:

He’s definitely a real person. I’ll toss aside my skepticism over the newspaper article itself.
But, the story does not mention Jews at all. I fail to see the relevance to the Holocaust.
Also, as this is the first time I’ve ever seen these numbers bandied about, I’ll conclude this was never entered into any trial transcript or used as evidence.

Why toss aside skepitisim on the newspaper article? I’m as skeptical on it as you. I think it’s just sensationalist made up nonsense. It’s relevance to the holocaust is that he does mention all the Jews of Europe and Auschwitz which supposedly was the epicentre of the extermination policy. I’ll post the rest of the article concerning the Jews. There is another reference to Colonel Mantout from what I do believe you would call a “respectable” source, the French Wikipedia
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Gerstein
Le lieutenant-colonel Mantout, chef de l’ORCG, qui avait assisté à l’interrogatoire, rapportera plus tard qu’il avait vu en Gerstein « un mystique traumatisé et désespéré de n’avoir pas été pris au sérieux, ni par les Allemands, ni par les Alliés .
I believe you are correct that these numbers never entered trials or was used as evidence. I merely put it out for people to make their own minds up.

Was Auschwitz actually known as the epicenter of the extermination policy?
The reality is that more Jews died outside of Auschwitz than in the camp itself. 1/2 the Jews didn’t die in gas chambers.
