Yes. Body disposal was critical to the death machine.
When Sonderkommando 13 rebelled at Auschwitz they didn't blow up the gas chambers, they blew up the crematoriums. The rational was that with the gas chambers gone the Nazis would just start shooting people instead and continue to burn the bodies. With the crematoriums gone, the bodies would start piling up fast and when the inevitable Typhus outbreak hit, those SS Bloodtype tattoos wouldn't do shit to protect the camp guards. Kill the crematoriums and you shut down the death machine.
Unfortunately they only managed to destroy 2 of the 4 crematoriums and nobody survived or escaped during the uprising.
For a fictionalized account, check out the movie "The Grey Zone."
