RFV-sense "concentration camp crematorium". A Nazi euphemism. I can't find uses of this sense that meet CFI. It's possibly a rare variant (like the train sense is) of "Abfahrtshalle", but I cannot immediately verify that that spelling has this sense, either. - -sche (discuss) 18:03, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

The sense that you didn't RFV is citeable. I can't find any uses for this one either, though. The mass destruction of books in Germany in the 1940s probably pulped or burned any remaining cites. By one estimate, fully a third of written material in Germany was destroyed during the Allied invasion and occupation. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 18:57, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Indeed. A Swabian added finierisch to de.Wikt a few months ago, a schwäbisch word from a few generations ago, not in modern dictionaries. Their family's old dictionary might have had it, but was destroyed in the bombing... so the word was destroyed, too. Nazi fires destroyed Polish words, too, in Warsaw and elsewhere. This isn't the sort of word that would have been in books in the 40s, though. If it isn't just an error for "Abfahrtshalle", it might be in some building orders or the like in a box in Koblenz, but in that case, it's unlikely someone would "run across it". - -sche (discuss) 20:24, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
