Photo 35:
[PMO neg. no 20995/475]
|
| View of autoclave 1 and Topf disinfestation chamber 4 from which
effects are being retrieved. This photo has the advantage of fully
corroborating the letter from the Czech former prisoner. He said
that coats were disinfected by hot air and the trolley emerging from
chamber 4 is carrying coats. Opposite autoclave 1, in the left corner
of the photo is a heap of what might be ragged blankets, items
classed as "light" and disinfected by
steam. | |

| Photo 36: |
Present state of the recesses in the brickwork which contained
the motors for the blowers mentioned on Topf drawing D. 60283.
Dismantled after the war, they are visible, together with their
control switches, on Photo 35.
The Zentral Sauna had
at least eleven electric motors, the total power attributed to them
being 15.0kW. | |
