So we do not know where the original three ovens were situated in the building in relation to the BIG chimney - is that right?
There were three ovens in Krematorium I. Each oven had two muffles. The plan shows the 3 double-muffle-ovens (= 6 muffles).
As far as I know and understand the research done by Prof. Faurisson, Germar Rudolf and Carlo Mattogno correctly, the ovens were in the positions shown by the German plans, as was the original chimney, which had been dismantled in 1944, when the crematorium was converted into an air-raid shelter.

Germar Rudolf wrote in a letter to me on 20 August 1998 concerning this question:
Germar Rudolf wrote:Die "Füchse" (liegende Schornsteine!) der Öfen sind, abgesehen vom Fundament, die tiefsten Punkte der Öfen.
[The oven's "Füchse" (horizontal chimneys) are, apart from the foundations, the lowest points of the ovens.]
I.e. Polardude is right, the chimney was connected by under-floor flues to the chimney.
Carlo Mattogno wrote:Each oven was equipped with its own forced-air installation; this consisted of an air blower, which was operated with a 1.5 hp three-phase AC motor coupled directly to the blower shaft, and an appropriate duct. [...]
The exhaust installation, with a capacity of about 4,000 m3/h (141,200 cu.ft./h) of stack gas, consisted of an exhaust fan powered with a 3 hp three-phase AC motor coupled directly to the blower shaft; an air shutter separated the high and low pressure chambers. The function of this installation is described in the relevant operation manual from the Topf firm.[96]

As to the positions of the alleged "Zyklon-B - holes" in the roof, Carlo Mattogno wrote a very interesting article in Germar Rudolf's periodical "The Revisionist" 4/2004 (Vol. 2, No. 4):
"The Openings for the Introduction of Zyklon B – Part 1: The Roof of the Morgue of Crematorium I at Auschwitz", by Carlo Mattogno (pp. 411-419)
