The Dachau crematorium [Photo 17a] comprised a morgue, a furnace room [Photo 17b] with four cremation furnaces, the supposed gas chamber with the inscription “Brausen / Showers” and four disinfestation chambers numbered 1 to 4. The confusion between these last and the “(homicidal) gas chambers” still remains, for as late as 1982, this type of photograph was presented as the “Dachau gas chamber” at the “Exhibition of the deportation, 1933-45” on the Trocadéro esplanade in Paris.
The nature of the disinfestation gas is not known, but the cycle lasted 3 hours. |
