From right to left, purification
tanks II, III and IV of “Kläranlage II”. Planned tor the oxygenation
of organic compounds in solution by aeration through streaming dirty
water through a rotary distributor on to a bacterial bed of graded
stones (5 to 10cm diameter), these tanks never came into service and
were left as they they appear on this photograph of winter 1942-43.
Even if they had been completed, it would still have been several
months before the bacterial beds developed. Of the eleven workers on
the photograph, only two are wearing the prisoners’ zebra suits. The
others are outside civilian workers. |
