The direction of the shadows in photos 280 and 281 of the cremation pits, taken in the West-South-West in relation to the shooting, and the August light, indicate that these photos were taken between 3 and 4 pm. [21] This suggests that it is the same transport photographed before and after the same gassing. [22]
