The plan shows the main compound on the edge of the lake with the gate, the shower and kitchen building, and the Appellplatz. The gas chamber (‘gaz’) and crematorium are also visible. Against the south wall is the SS garden; just beyond it are the Siemenslager and the warehouses where goods stolen from prisoners (‘marchandises volées’) were sorted and stored. The ‘Camp d’Extermination’ at Uckermark is also clearly marked, as are the machine-gun posts to the north. On the shore of the lake are the remains of a small fort (‘fortin’) and the ‘marais’ – the sandy shore.
