Yes, prisoners at the Flossenbürg concentration camp were tattooed. In many concentration camps, including Flossenbürg, prisoners were marked with a series of numbers as a means of identification. These tattoos were typically placed on the prisoner's forearm.
The only Nazi camp that tattooed prisoners was the Auschwitz group, where prisoners selected for work were tattooed. Prisoners at other camps and those sent immediately to be gassed at Auschwitz were not tattooed.
Because Auschwitz was the toughest concentration camp in the world at that moment.
Camp Evacuated in the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel refers to the evacuation of prisoners from the concentration camp by the SS as Allied forces approached. The evacuation was carried out to prevent the prisoners from being liberated by the advancing troops. The prisoners were forced to march long distances, facing brutal conditions and many perished during the evacuation.
The camp was to be evacuated due to the advance of the Russian army. Elie learned that those who stayed behind in the hospital were to be left behind because they were too weak to travel, and they were subsequently liberated by the Russian army.
The camp was evacuated because the Soviet army was advancing and the Nazis were fleeing. Elie learned that those who stayed behind in the hospital were waiting to be liberated by the Soviet army, and were ultimately rescued.

During the air raid in the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel, the prisoners were evacuated from the camp and forced to undertake a long and difficult march to another camp. Many prisoners died during this chaotic and traumatic evacuation process, and those who survived faced even harsher conditions in the new camp.
I believe the Casino internment camp was for political prisoners the Dutch evacuated from the East Indies when the Japanese were about to invade during WW2. I think the Dutch military guarded the camp. The Dutch government feared the prisoners might collaborate with the invaders and gain skills to be a major rebel threat should the Japanese be expelled.

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.
Camps for political prisoners have been called a detention center, a concentration camp, prisoner of war camp, labor camp, or gulag.
Death marches were the marching of inmates from one concentration camp to another.
The Soviet Union
The Nazis were involved in the concentration camp Buchenwald because it was a camp for political prisoners.
When the Germans were advancing back to protect Berlin, they used death marches to escort them to German concentration camps, but some prisoners were left behind, and when allied troops advanced, the surviving prisoners told them their story.
