Vulkanwerft concentration camp

Vulkanwerft concentration camp in the Bredow district of Szczecin (German: Stettin),[1] also known as the KZ Stettin-Bredow,[2] was one of the early so-called "wild" German Nazi concentration camps set up by the SA (or the SS by different source),[3] in October 1933.

Former field marshal August von Mackensen wrote a letter to Hermann Göring, after which eight people, Joachim Hoffmann, Gustav Fink, Fritz Pleines, Willi Herrmann, Heinrich Richter and Walter Treptow, were arrested for torturing detainees.

All of them were convicted "because out of pure sadism they had tortured their victims to the utmost in an inhumane manner," beyond what was necessary.

Police officer Paul Grafunder was fined 300 Reichsmarks for trying to cover up the torture.

[6] On 30 June 1934, Hoffmann, Fink and Pleines were taken from prison and executed by firing squads composed of members of the SS Division Leibstandarte during the Night of the Long Knives.
