It was a private paper. It was examined by a court and found to be dishonest and misleading and therefore it qualified as National Socialist Propaganda.
Have you read the report?

Eichmann is a perfect example of why you can't use torture to extract confessions. Eichmann signed a confession to killing some 5 million. This Auschwitz, and I already posted a court ruling establishing 300,000 died at is obviously a complete lie, there were nowhere near 5 million killed at Auschwitz.

Either way, you cant help but believe that "history is written by the victorious" and "there are always two sides to every story"

On what do you base your assertion that he was tortured? Has he said so? What documentary evidence is there for that?
Or rephrased: What makes you believe that he was tortured.
There are 5 major sources when it comes to Eichmann:
- The 1200 still secret Jersualem papers
- The Sassen interview
- The Avnar Less interrogation
- His 127 pages of "memoirs"
What is notable about these sources (minus the first) is that they basically say the same things. His story didn't change from when he was a free man in the 50's (Sassen) to the time they put him on trial. In fact, he is astonishingly consistent on the major points. Historian Wolfgang Scheffler was a witness to the trial and has studied all but the 1200 pages that aren't open. He has illustrated the consistency of the Eichmann testimony in various articles and scholarly works. I can only link to articles due to restricted acess:
www.welt.de...
Also. Can you source the claim of his signing the 5 million document? I'd be very interested in that. Sounds intruiging.
I don't think that Eichmann is generally considered to be the one who "ordered the gassings". His claim to fame was to be an organizational genius. He was responsible for organizing the transport of the Jews (something even revisionists don't deny happened) and other logistical problems and was therefore one of the guys in the Reich who had extensive knowledge about the whole of the Holocaust. (The were, when and also the what was basis for his organizing everything efficiently.).
During cross-examination, prosecutor Hausner asked Eichmann if he considered himself guilty of the murder of millions of Jews. Eichmann replied: "Legally not, but in the human sense ... yes, for I am guilty of having deported them". When Hausner produced as evidence a quote by Eichmann in 1945 stating: "I will leap into my grave laughing because the feeling that I have five million human beings on my conscience is for me a source of extraordinary satisfaction." Eichmann countered the claim saying that he was referring only to "enemies of the Reich".

o If we would have killed 10.3 million Jews, then I would be satisfied and would say, good, we annihilated an enemy. ... I wasn't only issued orders, in this case I'd have been a moron, but I rather anticipated, I was an idealist.

Hate to burst your bubble but actually international jewry did declare war on Germany. Here is the newspaper extract of the declaration.
...
With this international declaration , it is fair to say that all jews could be considered combatants/ potential enemies, therefore giving credence to their being incarcerated in concentration camps, as the english did with the suspected sypmathises, and the americans did with the japanese.
Do you have any more evidence of this "War on germany"?
Not to mention, it comes from no actual Nation. "International Jewry"? Huh?

Auschwitz museum states that the gas chamber was in original shape. The director of the museum, in part 2 of David Cole's documentary, states that while the camp was being bombed, the gas chamber was not destroyed, and was actually used as an air shelter. Walls were added and then later removed, but the floors and ceiling were original, so the residue would be visible on the ceiling.

Nevertheless, in 1960, a record allegedly derived from Eichmann's comments in 1955 to a highly dubious associate were to be accepted as definitive memoirs. They were designed to prove, of course, that "the unregenerate Nazi" Eichmann was every inch the fiend that be has been depicted. A disarming attempt to make them seem authentic was furnished by the touch that Eichmann did not say what his cohort, Hoettl, claimed at Nuremberg that he had said about the alleged killing of millions of Jews (Time, June 6, 1960, reported Eichmann had said five million Jews; Newsweek, June 6, 1960, claimed he had said six million).

Does anyone know what they refer to ?

While sitting in the bowels of Israel's penal system, Adolf Eichmann - arch-perpetrator of the Final Solution - put pen to paper in 1961-1962 and wrote memoirs spanning some 1,200 pages. Thirty-seven years later, these memoirs, which then Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion ordered buried in the national archives, are at the center of a debate: who should publish them, in what manner, and why.
You can not hold a monopoly on historical truth. The sources are there. The evidence is. The "Jews" do not have the means nor the power to "keep the lid" on anything concerning WWII. Academia is free. There's no way to totally surpress scientific inquiry.

60 million people are dead - isnt that bad enough without debating whether 300,000 or 3 million people were gassed ? It's still just as bad no matter what the numbers really are.

He was head of the Department for Jewish Affairs in the Gestapo from 1941 to 1945 and was chief of operations in the deportation of three million Jews to extermination camps
where he stood trial in Jerusalem for crimes against humanity and the Jewish people
