Reports are often vague concerning the true status of many
camps, being almost invariably in.camplete, based on hearsay,
mutilated, in transmission, distorted in some fashion or out of
date.
• Legal definitions for the Cuarpe differ widely in the various
German-occupied. areas of Europe. For example, Straflager (Punitive
Camps) in Poland are frequently Somewhat similar to prisons, and
serve the same purpose, but the treatment of inmates may correspond
to that practised in concentration Cathps In Germany.
There appears to be no definite formula for the establishment
of aetention centres. New camps are often attached to existing
penal •institutions, or a KOnzentrationslager may be added to or
use the facilities of a Zuchthaus .' (Penitentiery) (the KL
ORANIENBURG uses the crematoriuth at the 'PL6TZENSEE Zuohthaus).
Concentration Camps may be expanded by the addition, for
example, of a Straflager far ArbeitsverWeigerer (Penal Camp, for
•Persons ReAlsing to Work).
Dulags (Durchgangslager, or Transit Canto) and interntnent
camps have appeared erroneously in Some lists ai Kris, perhaps
because the tern Dulag may also be applied to. collecting stations
of all sorts for Schutzhiftlinge (Persona in Protective CuatodY) •
The Dulags mentioned in the. list (Annexe A, Part Two) , however,
are most likely for Schutzhaftlinge an& in no way'connected with
those of the aimed: forces of, Germany, and d.eserte, therefore
to be incorporated.
Regular Wehrmaoht penal establishments are referred to as-
Soldatenkonsentrationslager (SKs or Soldiers' Concentration Camps
or Sander KZs (Special ,Purpose Concentration Camps).
