As a result of this morning’s conversation with the Bauleitung
and the subsequent inspection of Krematorien II, III, IV and V, the
following completion dates were agreed upon, and can in my opinion
be respected.
Krematorium II
In this complex,
I observed that the building with the furnace room and its ancillary
rooms is entirety completed, as is the large corpse cellar 1.
Corpse cellar 2 is completed as far as possible apart from
removal of the formwork for the ceiling, work which depends on there
being no frost. The 5 3-muffle incineration furnaces are ready and
are at present being warmed through for drying. The electrical
connections for the pulsed air blower motors forming part of the
furnace installation are at present being installed [by the Topf
fitter, Messing]. The three big [suction type] forced draught
installations in the chimneys are in place and ready to operate.
Here again, the electrical connections for the motors are being
installed [by Messing].
The corpse hoist is being installed
on a temporary basis [awaiting delivery of an electric lift].
The ventilation and air extraction systems for the corpse
cellars have not yet arrived due to the blockage of wagons, which
was only lifted a few days ago. The wagons are now moving again and
this material is expected any day. They can be installed in about 10
days. It will therefore certainly be possible to bring Krematorium
II completely into service on 13/2/43. The waste incinerator
installed in this complex of buildings will be completed in the next
few days. The annex construction housing this incinerator is already
completed. |
