Munich-Allach concentration camp

It provided slave labour for nearby factories of BMW, Dyckerhoff, Sager & Woerner, Kirsch Sägemühle, Pumpel Lochhausen and Organisation Todt with up to 17,000 prisoners in 1945.

[1] A labour camp was established on February 22, 1943, to address workforce shortages in the armament and building industry of Nazi Germany.

The prisoner population in the non-Jewish camp was mainly French, Russians, Poles, Spanish, Czechs and Dutch, as well as victims of racial persecution and German opponents of the regime.

The entire subcamp, including 31 accommodation barracks, was surrounded by an electrically charged fence and guarded by watchtowers.

[citation needed] The 66th Field Hospital, attached to the 42nd Division of the US Seventh Army, was brought to Allach to take care of the sick prisoners.
