During the early phases of "Operation Reinhard", victims were simply thrown into mass graves and covered with lime. From 1943, to hide the evidence of the crime, all bodies were burned in open air pits. Special "Leichenkommando" (corpse units) had to exhume bodies from the mass graves around these death camps for incineration. "Reinhard" still left a paper trail; in January 1943, Bletchley Park intercepted an SS telegram by SS-"Sturmbannführer" Hermann Höfle, Globočnik's deputy in Lublin, to SS-"Obersturmbannführer" Adolf Eichmann in Berlin. The decoded Enigma message contained statistics showing a total of 1,274,166 arrivals at the four "Aktion Reinhard" camps until the end of 1942 but the British code-breakers did not understand the meaning of the message, which amounted to material evidence of how many people the Germans had murdered.
