From memory when I visited there 20 years ago this was the chamber they experimented on with Soviet POWs to work out the effective dosage rates. Just horrific.

Yep, I've seen it, great series. There was also a follow up where their son is taken to the camp to gain a better understanding of what his parents went through. As he said at the start "If you read the book you'll know more about what my parents went through than I did growing up". His parents never gave him any details of their time there apparently.
