Standort-und Kommandanturbefehle ...band 1

This volume documents the internal orders given by SS camp commanders to the guards of Auschwitz. Issued as hectographs, very few orders survived, scattered through German, Polish and Russian archives and have been largely disregarded by researchers until now. However, the sheer abundance of detail they offer renders them both an impressive witness to every day life of the SS at the very scene of mass extermination and a significant source for the history of the Holocaust.
