Huta Sheet 13a shows details of the construction of
Leichenkeller 1 and 2 and comparison with the cross-section of
Leichenkeller 1 in Bauleitung drawing 934 (shown below the Huta
drawing) reveals the main modification made; the thickening of the
concrete floor. In addition, the upper ventilation duct was made
of wood fixed to wooden battens attached to the ceiling. With a
concrete floor, brick walls and a reinforced concrete roof covered
with earth, wooden ventilation duct and bituminous felt
damp-proofing, Leichenkeller 1 was certainly a composite
structure, but it was very solid. Even on this regularization
drawing, made long after Krematorium II was completed, neither the
western nor the northern access to Leichenkeller 2 are shown.
