the Kommandant page 7 by ric Gustafson
After being in Berlin, I returned to the Camp. Shortly after that, Eichmann came to visit. He told me about plans for police roundups. He told me roughly the numbers of those who would be transported to the Camp. He told me how the annihilation would come about. We decided that gas was the only suitable way to exterminate the numbers given to me.
We looked around the Camp for a suitable location for these plans of Eichmann. We decided to use a farmhouse in the Northwest corner to be suited. It was hidden from view and near the rail line. We decided to bury the bodies in long deep pits in a nearby meadow. The farmhouse was renamed Bunker 1. In the fall of 1941, a gas called Cyclon B was used on some Russian prisoners in Block 11. This gas was supplied by Tesch and Stabenow and was normally used for insect and rodent control. It was very successful. Instead of Block 11, extermination was done in Bunker 1 after that to be more efficient.
