He had circulated privately what has since been published as the Lüftl Report in which he questions the Gassing story on technical grounds.
Repercussions:
Relieved from his elected post as President of Austrian Chamber of Engineers after questioning the gas chamber story, on the basis of his technical and engineering investigations.
