Sachsenhausen

Sachsenhausen was a Nazi concentration camp situated 50 km. (30 mi.) north of Berlin. It was opened in 1936 and provided forced labour for local factories. During the war skilled prisoners were employed in Operation BERNHARD making counterfeit documents and banknotes for the SS, and so pleased were the Germans with the results that twelve of the prisoners were awarded the War Merit Medal (see decorations). Though not a death camp (see OPERATION REINHARD), an estimated 100,000 were murdered there including Stalin's son. Kurt von Schuschnigg, the former Austrian chancellor, was one of its inmates. In March 1945 Bernadotte and the International Red Cross Committee managed to free Danes and Norwegians in the camp, but on 15 April the remainder were forced to start marching westwards and thousands died before they were found by the Red Army.
