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. |
