Schutzhaftlagerführer

Usually, there was more than one SS man performing that function at each location due to their enormous size.

Schutzhaftlagerführers received orders from the central offices in Berlin, such as DEST run directly by the SS.

Their orders, which usually involved routine maltreatment of condemned victims, were carried out through "assignments" so they would not have to deal with the dead resulting from them.

The Schutzhaftlagerführer had to maintain order, take care of daily routines, roll calls and so on.

They were directly responsible for order in the camp and they assigned prisoners to the outside work details.
