Using a door that was constructed for use in a prison, inside a crematorium, is exactly what a criminal trace is.
Perfectly reasonable for the doors to a morgue. In fact, your home refrigerator has a gas-tight door.
The refrigerators in mortuaries, was the only place I saw with gas tight doors. I have been to a lot of mortuaries.
The "Brausebad" (shower bath) at Dachau was a refrigerated morgue. The refrigeration compressor was outside the building.
The crematorium morgue at Mauthausen was also refrigerated.

Refrigerated, or kept cool? Mortuaries are normally kept cool. Which makes the heating of the Kremas contradictory to it being used for corpse storage. The lack of traces of HCN found by Rudolf blows the delousing chamber theory and that the camp was out of range of planes till the spring of 1944 and not bombed till later in 1944, blows the air raid shelter theory.

1943, not 1944.

If I recall correctly, it is plate 17 of proposed blueprints that has a hygienic fumigation chamber in the vestibule between corpse cellar 1 and corpse cellar 2. Previously I had said that this fumigation chamber, not the cellars, was used for clothing disinfection. I have been informed that this plan to install a fumigation chamber in the vestibule was not adopted. I apologize for any confusion caused. For clarity and continuity, a fumigation gas chamber for delousing in a vestibule is not using the corpse cellars for delousing.
