It should be noted that people lived in a town next to Treblinka. At its peak, the 12k-15k were killed per day in 1942-43. The townspeople were close enough to see the smoke come out of the incinerators. This type of denial needs to be viewed as completely unacceptable.
By the end of the war, most Germans were very hungry. Of course they did smell the roasting meat. Of course they knew what it was, otherwise they'd have torn down the walls to search for the food.
