Drawing 933[-934](p)

  Translation of inscriptions:
[see drawings 933 and 934 
 
     
  This drawing is a combination on the same sheet of drawing 933 of 19/1/42, the ground floor plan, and 934 of 27/1/42, sectional drawings of the building and its Leichenkeller 1 and 2. The date is that of the original drawing, and is thus not valid for the combined drawing. It is likely that only the sections of the furnace room and the waste incinerator room have not been modified. On the other hand, the cross-sections of Leichenkeller 1 and 2 were most probably added in April 1942. Only drawings 933, 934 and 1173-1174 were colored as illustrated on the photographs of the drawings from the Moscow archives. The coloring system was not completely uniform, having been done at different times for the different drawings, so that details are not exactly the same, but as a general rule brick walls were a reddish pink, cement block ceilings violet, concrete floors pale green and the roof frames yellow.
