The following is posted on the internet and it appears to be an official court document that argues for some glaring inconsistencies in the Demjanjuk case. See Section VIII.
Is it true? If so, Demjanjuk should be released immediately.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
I. Introduction:
- On the basis of eyewitness testimony and survivors identification, OSI wrongfully prosecuted F. Walus and Dr. K. Hanff, now exonerated, members of the Polish-American community
- About 40 various plans of the Treblinka-II camp drawn for or by survivors present graphic and astonishing proof of unreliability of their memory
- Soviet-provided Demjanjuk’s ID card was supposedly issued in mid-1942 by SS-Commissioner, O. Globocnik, who had been dismissed by H. Himmler from his post in March 1942, while J. Demjanjuk was still in the Red Army, p. 1
II. Background:
- Permissive use of judicial notice and eyewitness testimony in lieu of physical and/or documentary evidence were hallmarks of injustice of the past political and/or show trials
- Soviet-provided, extorted eyewitness testimonies for the 1945 Leningrad war crimes trial resulted in wrongful, public hanging of seven German officers for “murdering 10,000 Polish officers in the Katyn Forest.”
- German ex-prisoner of Majdanek, P. Hoffmann, was misidentified as the chief of crematoria by Jewish co-prisoners, survivors of that camp, and was publicly hanged in 1945, in the aftermath of the first war crimes trial in Poland; two years later, the real perpetrator was found and hanged, p. 8
III. Captain Sauer, “Ivan”, Jan Rogoza, “Ivan Brosh” and lately “Ivan the Terrible” were contemporaneously and thus inconsistently remembered by Jewish survivors as the chief perpetrator at the Treblinka-II camp, p. 12
IV. Did the alleged mass exterminations take place at Treblinka-II or at Treblinka-III, forty kilometers away ?, p. 17
V. What did survivors remember as the method of mass extermination at Treblinka-II: steam in gas chambers, Diesel exhaust in gas chambers, Zyklon-B in gas chambers, shooting with a rifle, shooting with a machine gun, electrocution or suffocation in a vacuum ?, p. 19
VI. Was the only mass grave found at the Treblinka-II camp large enough for burial of 900,000 victims who were allegedly killed at that camp ?, p. 24
VII. Can a Diesel engine be the murder weapon used in the alleged war crimes ?, p. 34
VIII. Is the ID card submitted by the KGB to identify John Demjanjuk genuine ?, p. 37
IX. Conclusion, p. 40
