DescriptionBelzec aerial photo (1944).jpg |
English: Belzec extermination camp of the Operation Reinhard in occupied Poland. Aerial photograph of the camp perimeter taken in 1944 by the German Luftwaffe (common with death factories after cleanup, making sure that it is safe to abandon). All known structures are gone except for the brick-and-mortar garage and auto-shop for the SS, whose foundations still exist today (lower left). Across the fence, separated from the main camp, the Hiwi guards living quarters and sorting yard (left). Some outlines of dismantled barracks can still be seen surrounded by walking sand. The railway unloading platform consisted of two parallel ramps visible in the bottom, marked with the red arrow. A smaller arrow shows the holding pen for Jews still waiting to be processed. Location of gas chambers marked with a cross. Undressing and hair-cropping area marked with rectangle with adjacent "Sluice" through the woods. Polski: Oboz śmierci Belzec w czasie niemieckiej okupacji Polski. Fotografia lotnicza, niemiecka, na krótko przed opuszczeniem terenu w 1944 roku. "Droga do nieba" oznaczona linią przerywaną. Peron wyładowczy, strzałką. Deutsch: Das Vernichtungslager Belzec der Operation Reinhard im besetzten Polen. Luftaufnahme des Lagergeländes, 1944 von der Deutschen Luftwaffe aufgenommen (aus einer Reihe von Aufnahmen anderer Todesstätten nach deren Abbruch, um ihre Existenz zu verschleiern). Alle bekannten Gebäudestrukturen außer der gemauerten Garage und Fahrzeugwerkstatt für die SS sind abgetragen, deren Fundamente existieren heute noch (weiter unten links). Abseits des eigentlichen Lagers und hinter dem Zaun die Wohnquartiere der Hilfskräfte und der Sortierplatz (links). Einige Spuren der abgerissenen Baracken sind von angewehtem Sand umgeben und noch erkennbar. Die Entladerampe bestand aus zwei paralleln Bahnsteigen - sichtbar im unteren Bereich und mit einem roten Pfeil markiert. Ein kleinerer Pfeil zeigt den Aufenthaltsbereich für Menschen vor ihrer Aufnahme in das Lager. Die Lage der Gaskammern sind mit einem Kreuz markiert. Bereiche zum Entkleiden und der Haarrasur sind mit einem Rechteck markiert.
