Most deniers try to wrap it up in a bow. It's often "there was a disease outbreak they were trying to control", or "the death toll isn't nearly as bad as the official story", or "it would have been dumb for the Nazis to spend so many resources when they were losing the war", or "Auschwitz had a swimming pool". They rarely come right out and say it didn't happen.

It all has the same goal: make the holocaust not seem so bad so they can implement the same policies.

I mean, starting the war in the first place was pretty stupid, as were a great many of their other decisions. It's not like Nazis are, were, or ever will be rational actors. So wasting resources on genocide in the middle of a war they were losing was very much in-character.
