The "pool" narrative of Auschwitz got debunked, iirc it was actually like a retention pond and the guards put a diving board on it for themselves.

    Yeah a lot of the recreation facilities were for the guards and administrators. Some kapos were given special privileges to use these places, but it was rare and heavily exaggerated by Holocaust deniers. Mostly, it was soccer fields and makeshift music halls the guards would use to entertain themselves with prisoners.
