 Documents from the Moscow Archives describe building of air-raid shelters in Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1943
On Oct. 19, 1943 ZBL was informed by GB-Construction, Kattowitz, through Herrn Ing.Andre, via telephone call as I understand, that when the group of 7 carloads of the air-raid shelter trench-covers arrived, 60% showed cracking or fracturing.
There's a problem about the unpaid bills and there's a written contract/job outline that needs to be discussed with GB but there wasn't any gas to send someone to the "possession" (worksite or materials storage location).
On November 4 1943, in the department of ZBL, a cleanup meeting was held between Ing.Andre from GB-Construction, Kattowitz, and SS-Ustuf.

However, Seetzen shared authority with the RSHA and his counterpart in Kattowitz to commit persons to the camp and also to order their execution, which was carried out by the Gestapo (the so-called "political department") there.
On 22 October a police court martial, chaired by the newly appointed head of the Kattowitz Gestapo, convened in Auschwitz and condemned to death ninety-five Poles transferred from various Silesian prisons87 - Seetzen was thus at least partially culpable for this instance of judicial murder.
The horrors associated with Auschwitz were not the only ones in which Seetzen participated while he was located in Breslau.
