The south side and east end of Krematorium IV in mid April 1943. shortly after it was officially handed on 22nd March. The soot on the south face of the chimneys shows that the two 4-muffle half furnaces had already been operating and that the prevailing wind blew front the north. The openings in the east end have been modified to conform to drawing 2036 and the tops of the coke store walls have been modified to fit the slope of the roof.
There should be some additions to the labels on the photograph: On the east end |
