The escapees’ chances of success that day were impeded by the Küttner incident, which triggered the premature start of the uprising. This provided the SS with more daylight to hunt down the fugitives. However, their flight, as it was, was at the same time aided by two significant factors. The first was the fact that Franz Stangl, the camp commandant, had been entertaining a visitor in his quarters and they had been drinking heavily since before noon. Former Treblinka guard Franz Suchomel said:

By the time the revolt started in the afternoon, Stangl and his friend were both drunk as lords, and didn’t know which end was up. I remember seeing him stand there, just stand and look at the burning buildings.
