The arrow points to the photograph takinglocation (see chapter 8.3.3.).they be the legendary Zyklon B introduction stacks. The irregular,vague nature of these spots, as well as the fact that they are missing onat least one air photo, 251 gives rise to the conclusion that they are theretouching of a forger, added at a later time. An expert study preparedin late 1992 by John Clive Ball, a professional air photo interpreter inCanada, has since proven that the air photos were faked while theywere in the possession of the CIA– surprise, surprise! 252As a result of the long-lasting wrong interpretation of these spotson this air photo, the otherwise unfounded allegation was made that thealleged Zyklon B introduction stacks were aligned linearly on the middleof the roof in case of morgue 1 (‘gas chamber’) of crematorium II,and aligned alternating to the left and to the right of the middle of the251 J.
