A quote from the Wikipedia article about this man:" During his imprisonment in Camp E715, Dodd said he witnessed the mistreatment and killing of Jewish inmates at the camp by their SS guards, including Jews hanging from the gallows in Auschwitz I "
Can someone explain how this is possiple when the hanging did happen near the camp kitchen or in the yard between Block (= builiding) 10 and Block 11 and the whole camp surrounded by a 3m high wall and guards around and the POW camp were he was imprisoned is ~600m away from Auschwitz I!!??? Was this man able to look/view in arcs? Unlikely!
By the way, British POW were not engaged in work within the camp grounds of Auschwitz I !
