 During the month of December, work had to he interrupted several times for delousing and disinfestation. Also, starting on 16th December, for security reasons, there was a special action among all the civilian workers.
 
 Because the camp has been isolated, civilian workers have not been able to leave the camp for 6 months [incorrect: since mid-July, i.e 5 months]. A period of leave from 23/12/42 to 4/1/43 is therefore essential.
 
 In view of the circumstances, the expected completion dates, assuming weather conditions remain favorable and that personnel remain unchanged, are as follows
 |  
						|  | Krematorium II 31/1/1943 Krematorium III 31/3/1943
 Krematorium IV 28/2/1943
