BOMBSHELL Post: Documents show Air-Raid-Shelters were built for Auschwitz-Birkenau Prisoners in 1943-44 Posted on 07/04/2013 by justice4germans Auschwitz LS-DG MemoThree WWII German documents captured by the Red Army which were obtained in 1998 from the former Soviet special state “trophy” archives in Moscow. These memos describe the building of poison-gas proof Air-Raid-Shelters in Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1943-44 and provide details of logistical problems which were being encountered in the building of hundreds of air-raid shelters shelters fitted with” gas-tight doors” at Auschwitz-Birkenau in April through November of 1944, in anticipation of Allied poison-gas attacks; a plan which Churchill had indeed intended to implement, as I have previously covered. The full report (link on webpage below) was compiled by a ‘Samuel Crowell’, which was a pseudonym used by an American researcher who was specializing in the design and construction of wartime gas-tight air-raid shelters, as had been installed in German public administrative buildings and prison installations. He collected much documentation, and written several essays on the subject. Two of the documents consist of memoranda signed by SS-Unterstürmfuhrer, dated October 25 and November 5, 1943, concerning the construction of “Luftschutz- deckungsgräben” at Auschwitz-Birkenau, while the third memo consists of either the final order, or a further order for “LS-Deckungsgräben” construction from November, 1944, signed by Nöll. (NOTE: Luftschutz = Air Defence and is abbreviated as “LS”. Deckungsgräben = Air-Raid Shelter and is abbreviated as “DG”) A ‘DG’ trench shelter (as defined by the LS-building codes) was an air-raid shelter, providing protection against debris, splinters, shrapnel and gas exposure. Under favorable conditions, a trench cover shelter could provide protection against various types of bombs, but not provide the same level of protection of a deep underground air-raid shelter. justice4germans/2013/07/04/documents-show-air-raid-shelters-were-built-for-auschwitz-birkenau-prisoners-in-1943-44/
