THE RUDOLF REPORT

GERMAR RUDOLF · THE RUDOLF REPORTthe defense of the late Major General O. E. Remer. The samples weretaken in the presence of witnesses by hammer and chisel and immediatelysealed in a plastic bag. The subsequent numbering of the bagswas recorded by hand, including the measured sample taking locationand type of sample. Table 19 shows buildings, sample taking locationsand depths, as well as a brief description of the wall material. The exactlocations are shown in the sketch of the corresponding buildings inchapter 5 of this book.4. John C. Ball, Ball Resource Services Ltd., Delta, BC, Canada.John C. Ball has not given any details about where exactly he took hissamples, nor what kind of material it was. According to his own description,at least the samples from the delousing rooms of BW 5a andBW 5b consist of a mixture of material taken at various places of theserooms, both inside and outside. Hence, the same might be true for hisother samples. For this reason, we will only briefly list Ball’s analysesresults here without going into too many details about how they are tobe interpreted.8.2. Analytical MethodsThe analyses were performed in each case respectively by:1. Prof. Dr. J. Roth, Alpha Analytic Laboratories, Ashland, Massachusetts.For the cyanide analysis, this laboratory used a procedurecarried out analogously to the German standard (see 3.). 501 Controlanalyses were prepared for some test samples near the detectablethreshold of 1 mg cyanide per kg test material. The results fluctuatedup to 40%.2. Jan Sehn Institute for Forensic Research, Toxicology Department,Cracow, Poland, under Jan Markiewicz. The Polish Scientistused the micro-diffusion chamber procedure, which does not permitthe detection of Iron Blue. 502 The detection threshold for other cyanideslies at 10 µg per kg sample material.3. Fresenius Institute, Taunusstein, Hessen, Germany, with no501 The iron content was also determined by means of ICP spectrometer. The values lay between6 and 7.5 g per kg.502 In this procedure, the sample is to semi-concentrated sulfuric acid for 24 hours. The gasesreleased are only collected by means of diffusion in a KOH collector.246
