Some of these camps were sub-camps of bigger camps, or "operational camps", established for a temporary need. Transit and collection camps: camps where inmates were collected and routed to main camps, or temporarily held. POW camps: concentration camps where prisoners of war were held after capture. These POW's endured torture and liquidation in a big scale. Hostage camps: camps where hostages were held and killed as reprisals. Extermination camps: These camps differed from the rest, since not all of them were also concentration-camps. Although none of the categories is independent, and each camp could be classified as a mixture of several of the above, and all camps had some of the elements of an extermination camp, still systematic extermination of new-arrivals occured in very specific camps. Of these, three were extermination camps, where all new-arrivals were simply killed -- The "Reinhardt Aktion" camps. Three others were concentration and extermination camps altogether. Others were at times classified as "minor extermination camps."
