Where prisoners were forced to march toward a concentration camp or other prison type facility where they were to be executed. Anyone who fell behind or was not well enough to walk was executed on the spot, often being beaten to death. Those who made it to the prison camp were starved or given very minimal food rations then they were worked to death or executed.
