A 1944 Allied forces aerial photo of the Auschwitz I,II, and III area (photo annotated decades later by the CIA) labels this area "BODY ASHES THROWN INTO MARSHES." Area depicted is an estimate. Note the photo's top unusually is not north but rather is west; in the photo, north is on the reader's right side.
