Operation Reinhard:
All men joining Operation Reinhard were required to swear that they
understood they were forbidden to pass on any form of information,
verbally or in writing, on any facet of the work they undertook. The
written form, dated 18 July 1942, that the men were supposed to sign
has survived and has been reprinted. (Arad, Documents, 275-275, as
cited in Breitman) The form used the phrase "..evacuation of the
Jews.." to describe the nature of their work. (Breitman, 237)
Administration
"The commanders of Operation Reinhard, Globocnik, Wirth, and the SS
men subordinate to them, succeeded in creating an efficient yet
simple system of mass extermination by using relatively scanty
resources. In each of the death camps -- in Belzec, in Sobibor, and
in Treblinka -- a limited number of 20 to 35 Germans were stationed
for purpose of command and supervision, and about 90 to 130
Ukrainians were responsible for guard duties. All the physical work
of the extermination process was imposed on 700 to 1,000 Jewish
prisoners who were kept in each camp." (Arad, Epilog)
