The JUSTIFIED Executions Of The Guards Of Flossenburg

Описание: Following the Second World War, there were a number of war crimes trials held in which many former members of staff at concentration camps were brought to justice. They were accused of crimes against humanity and different trials were held for different camps. Flossenburg Concentration Camp was a place where 30,000 people lost their lives and the conditions here were terrible. It was found close to a granite quarry and thousands of prisoners were brought to work there. The labour they were forced to do was back-breaking and very dangerous, and there were many different accidents that caused injuries. Flossenburg was a camp where disease was also rife, and prisoners were not given sufficient food and as the war came to an end, it suffered from huge overcrowding.

Guards accompanied prisoners on death marches which resulted in thousands of more deaths, but despite there being hundreds of guards who worked there, only a very few were brought to trial. The Flossenburg Trials were held at Dachau, and a number of death sentences were handed out for those members of staff who inflicted great suffering and death. 12 men were then taken to Landsberg Prison where they were executed on the gallows there by the US Army. Some of the men had been commandants of Flossenburg's sub camps, and others were Kapos who worked to make prisoner's lives a misery.
