And some additional infos regarding this thread:
this is how looks the space out of the boarder fence from where the picture was taken and where the audience could stand. Pretty large area ...... of course the good view for execution, if any, someone could have only by standing on those 10-15 meters fence width.

Back to the 4 known pictures I showed before which are the only ones existing officially:

We can assume that 3 of them which are taken in close distance, they are made by the official photographer.

The fourth picture (the little one made from big distance) was taken by someone else, however I think I would be able to tell where this photographer was at that time

Looking at the angle of the photo, I think it more likely that the photographer was in a window on the floor below the one you marked.

I recently read the book "Death Dealer: The memoirs of the SS Kommandant at Auschwitz". Thank you for taking the time to share this information and photos. A very interesting thread!
