Martha concentration camp

The Martha concentration camp ( spelling alphabet for M for Mühlhausen) was a satellite camp of the Buchenwald concentration camp .

In the course of the relocation of several production areas of the Schönebecker Junkers aircraft and engine works to the Mühlhäuser Mühlenwerke AG building on the northern outskirts of Mühlhausen / Thuringia , the "Martha" external command was established in April 1944. Between the end of April 1944 and April 1945, up to 800 male prisoners, mainly from the Soviet Union, Poland, Czechoslovakia and France, as well as Sinti and Roma, were interned there and forced to work in factories.
