Flossenbürg, Nazi concentration camp which was opened in May 1938 near the Bavarian town of that name. It was small compared to some—about 65,000 are said to have been incarcerated there at various times—but during the last fourteen months of the war 14,000 died or were executed there. They included several dozen Allied agents, two conspirators against Hitler, Canaris and Hans Oster, and the German pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer. It was liberated on 4 May 1945 by US troops.
