To look at the left hand
drawing, [Editorial comment: Pressac refers to the image on Page 74] the paper should be turned so that
this is at the top, the pressure vessel having been installed
vertically. It was placed in the "Heizergrube" situated between
disinfestation chamber 4 and the first autoclave (position seen on
the basement projection of drawing 3084). It is connected directly to the two
hot water tanks of the "Boiler-Raum" which supplied 50 showers.
This supplementary drawing shows that the Bauleitung did not
hesitate, on orders or on its own authority to modify a construction
plan considered definitive. This modification has left traces on the
drawings, but there were others that were implemented without any
drawings being changed, mention of them being found only in
Bauleitung correspondence. Their realisation can be materially
verified in the remaining buildings or ruins of the camp. The design
of an installation planned by the Bauleitung will often remain
virtually unchanged on the drawings but there may be many internal
modifications during its final implementation. It is only quite
rarely that these last-minute changes appear on the inventory
drawing [a composite drawing specially produced to accompany the
handover documents of a new building]. |
