The Majdanek concentration camp near Lublin was covered by Luftwaffe reconnaissance sortie on 26 August 1944. The coverage revealed most of the camp and its facilities. Unfortunately, the camp crematorium --destroyed by the departing Germans-- was not imaged. The camp, composed of five separate barracks sections (a smaller sixth section was not imaged) enclosed by a double security fence, was abandoned essentially intact (Graphics 1 - 2). Sections 1 - 4 each had two kitchens and 20 or 22 barracks situated in two rows; one of the barracks held a laundry. At least 10 buildings had been removed from the compound, including five from Section 3 and two from the space between Sections 1 and 2. One of the latter buildings was the camp's original crematorium. Outside the fence line, the gas chambers, SS barracks, camp administration area, workshops, and dog kennel all remained intact.
