It was approximately 25 feet long and 10 feet wide. The interior height was about 9 feet. For comparison it probably had a volume of less than half that of the large box cars seen on rail lines today. The gross volume was rather like a good size recreational vehicle. Up to and often more than 100 persons (most commonly Jews) were crammed into a single car.

SS regulations called for 50 people per car, but often as many as 150 people were crammed into the cars. They were not provided with food and water and only had a bucket for waste. Ventilation came only from small windows and as a result of these condition many people died before reaching the concentration camps.
