Timesheet for the week 7th to 13th September 1942, covering the
start of work on the foundations for the live three-muffle furnaces
of Krematorium II. carried out by Martin Holick, an employee of
Messrs TOPF & SOHNE of Erfurt. He was helped by Willi Koch,
another Topf foreman, who later regulated the draught of the
furnaces in Krematorien IV and V.
Topf & Sons built the
ten 3-muffle furnaces of Krematorien II and III and also the
two 8-muffle furnaces of Krematorien IV and V.
Several of
the timesheets filled in by the Topf fitter, Messing, as well as the
correspondence exchanged between Topf and the Bauleitung prove that.
contrary to what was thought after the war, Messrs Topf were
knowingly very much involved in preparing Krematorien II and III for
homicidal use. |
