Kempten
Subcamp of: Dachau
Category: Concentration/labour camp
Created in August 1943 by the Helmut Sachse company. The prisoners were first housed in an old textile factory and later in a renovated cattle breeding barn. There were also shacks near the Eastern Railway Station, which was bombed. The guards were airmen and—with one exception—behaved mildly. The camp was evacuated in late April 1945.
