In reply to your
letter mentioned above, we would inform you that we have requested
our site foreman, Herr Koch, to repair the fissures that have
apparently recently appeared in the 8-muffle furnace in Krematorium
IV. At the same time we have noted the agreement made between your
Head of Construction, SS Major Bischoff and our chief engineer. Herr
Prüfer, according to which we are to make good any defects in the
cremation furnace built by us that should appear within 2 months
after its coming into service, at no cost to you. This is naturally
subject to the precondition that any defects that may appear are the
result of faulty construction and not, for example, caused by
overheating the furnace or damaging the internal lining with fire
irons, etc.
As already mentioned, we have instructed our
site foreman Koch to repair the damage that has occurred, which has
no doubt been done in the meantime.
Ever at your service,
please be sure of our best wishes, |
|
|
|
|
|
Heil Hitler!
