would have been cast into the concrete during the construction of the
cellar, spread out to a “dovetail” inside the concrete. 269 If carried out
after completion of the building, holes would have been chiseled into
the concrete, and the hoop irons would have been cast in cement filling
these holes, see Fig. 46 (p. 113). In both cases, a removal of such cast-in
hoop irons would have been impossible. All one could do is cut them
off with a saw or a welding torch. 270 Hence, if any introduction device
was ever installed in these morgues, traces of such hoop irons must still
be present.
3. Furthermore, the steel reinforcement rods in the reinforced concrete
would have to run wreath-like around the hole, and would be capable
of verification by means of induction devices, even today.
4. Since, in addition, the morgues’ roofs were covered with a layer
of soil approximately one half meter thick, the entire construction
would have to be protected against the intrusion of soil and rain water,
and in so doing it would have been indispensable to raise the edges of
the holes above the surface of the roof like miniature chimneys.
Nothing of the kind can be found on the roof of Morgue 1 of Crema-
Fig. 45: Alleged Zyklon B introduction hole in the roof of Morgue 1 (“gas
chamber”) of Crematorium II in December 1991. It is clearly visible that it
was not cleared from the steel reinforcement rods. These were simply bent
backwards.
