HUTA SHEET14A
|
|
Huta Sheet 14a shows that the excavations for the
Leichenkeller of Krematorium III had steeper sides than those of
Kr II, which explains the difference in the surface dimensions.
The length of the foundations of the annex wing is increased here
from 12 meters for Kr II to 14 meters. The Huta cross-section of
Leichenkeller 2 as compared with Bauleitung drawing 934 (above the
Huta drawing) shows a thickening of the concrete floor and a
strengthening of the roof. On this drawing it would appear that
the cross-beams are no longer deeper at the ends, where they join
the walls, thus interfering less with the air-extraction duct. But
on Sheet 16a, a cross-section of Leichenkeller 2 shows that the
cross-beams ARE still thickened at the ends…
