An April 5, 1944 letter
from Oswald Pohl to Heinrich
Himmler
(Nuremberg code NI-317)
states that as of November
10, 1943,
Auschwitz had been split
into three camps. It reads
in part:
"Camp I includes the
compact camp for men
with a present strength
of approximately 16.000
inmates."
"Camp II is at a
distance of about 3
Km from camp I. It
accommodates 15.000
male and 21.000
female inmates. Of a
total of 36.000
inmates
approximately 15.000
are unable to work."
"Camp III includes all
outside camps attached
to industrial
establishments in Upper
Silesia which
however, are
located at considerable
distances from each
other. At present it
consists of 14
outside camps with a
total number of
approximately 15.000
male inmates ... The
largest of these
labor camps is in
Auschwitz attached to
the I.G. Farbenindustric
AG. It has at present
7.000 inmates."
A list of Auschwitz III
camps appears in the 1962
book Le
Genocide
Nazi 1939-1945 by Szymon
Datner, et al, cited by
William Lindsey's
paper Zyklon
B, Auschwitz, and the Trial
