was a Nazi extermination
camp
in which 250,000 Jews, within 18 months,
were gassed
with
engine exhaust fumes, possibly from
a Russian submarine

Reichsfuehrer!According to your above instruction, the transient camp of Sobibor in the district of Lubin is to be transformed into a concentration camp.
I have discussed the matter with SS-Gruppenfuehrer GLOBOCNIK. We both suggest to you to abandon the idea of transforming it into a concentration camp, because the purpose intended by you, namely, to set up at Sobibor a depot for the dismantling of captured ammunition, will be reached without this transformation too.
The other points of the above instruction can remain unaltered. I ask for your consent, which will be of importance only for Gruppenfuehrer GLOBONIK and myself.
Heil Hitler!(signature) POHLSS-Obergruppenfuehrer andGeneral in the Waffen-SSclick image to enlarge
Himmler then changed his mind,
agreeing with Oswald Pohl and
ordering that Sobibor death transit camp,
not to be converted
into a concentration camp, but
remain a death transit camp

Dear Obergruppenfuehrer
The Reichsfuehrer-SS agrees with your and SS-Gruppenfuehrer GLOBOCNIK's suggestion to leave the transient camp of Sobibor in the district of Lublin in it's present state, since the purpose intended by him will also be reached in this way.
Heil Hitler!
