and Krukow railroad stations.' Poles, apparently for an additional board fence, had been
put into the ground from the Krukow railroad station toward the northwest along the
western side of the field. The guardhouse, occupied by factory police, was located in
the southwestern section of the field. When compared with its previous location, it
had been shifted 50 to 100 meters farther to the east, thus leaving Krukow railroad
station outside of the fence.

southern section of the field, about 400 meters south-southeast of the guardhouse.
