Description
English: Treblinka II extermination camp of the Operation Reinhard in German-occupied Poland. Aerial photograph of the camp perimeter taken in 1944; several months after the dismantling of the camp. All known structrures are gone except for the farmhouse built within it and lifestock shed (lower left). The photograp is overlayed with the known structures as described on the map of Treblinka drawn by Mr. Peter Laponder, builder of the Treblinka Model at the new Cape Town Holocaust Center, digitized by ARC and made available at the Mapping Treblinka webpage. On the left hand side, the color outlines show dismantled SS and Hiwi guards living quarters with most barracks clearly defined by the surrounding walkways. The railway unloading platform (lower centre) consisted of two parallel ramps visible in the bottom, marked with the red arrow. Location of new expanded gass chambers marked with a cross. Undressing barracks and sorting yard (separate for men and women with hair-cropping area) marked with two rectangles surrounded by solid fence with no view of the outside. The adjacent "Sluice" through the woods separated by barb-wire fence, marked with red dashed-line.
Polski: Zdjęcie lotnicze przedstawiające teren, na którym w okresie od lipca 1942 roku do listopada 1943 roku istniał niemiecki nazistowski obóz zagłady Treblinka II. Zdjęcie wykonano w 1944 roku, już po likwidacji obozu i zatarciu śladów jego istnienia. Widać na nim zabudowania „farmy”, na której Niemcy osiedlili dwóch ukraińskich wachmanów z zadaniem strzeżenia terenu poobozowego (u dołu, po lewej stronie). Na zdjęciu przy pomocy kolorowych konturów i innych znaków zaznaczono granice obozu, wewnętrzne ogrodzenia oraz miejsca, gdzie znajdowały się najważniejsze obiekty. Cyframi od 1 do 3 oznaczono strefy obozowe.

1) Strefa administracyjno-mieszkalna
Widoczne: i) budynki załogi niemieckiej; ii) „Koszary Maxa Biali”, w których mieszkali ukraińscy wachmani (po lewej stronie, kolejno u dołu i powyżej); iii) „getto”, czyli strefę w której przetrzymywano żydowskich więźniów (baraki w kształcie odwróconej litery „U”, otoczone ogrodzeniem).

2) Strefa przyjęć
Widoczne: i) bocznica kolejowa, ii) rampa (wskazana strzałką), iii) magazyn, który upozorowano na rzekomy dworzec kolejowy (na prawo od rampy), iv) masowe groby przy ogrodzeniu (na prawo od „dworca”), w tym miejsce straceń zwane „lazaretem” (oznaczone jako niewielki prostokąt), v) ogrodzony drutem kolczastym „plac transportowy”, na którym znajdowały się dwa baraki służące jako rozbieralnie (powyżej rampy).
Przerywaną linią oznaczono tzw. wąż, czyli korytarz z drutu kolczastego, którym pędzono ofiary z rozbieralni do komór gazowych.

3) Obszar zagłady (Totenlager)

Widoczne: i) budynek z „nowymi” komorami gazowymi (duży krzyżyk), ii) budynek z trzema „starymi” komorami gazowymi (mały krzyżyk), iii) masowe groby, iv) ruszty, na których w 1943 r. palono zwłoki ofiar (symbol płomieni), v) barak żydowskich więźniów (fioletowy prostokąt).

Ball (Air Photo Evidence)[1] and Udo Walendy (Der Fall Treblinka) before him.
