The only British people ever to end up in a concentration camp during WW 2 were some of the captured British soldiers and airmen. This happened especially at the end of the war when the Germand could no longer afford to build new prisoner-of-war camps for them. The Germans were however careful not to put them in any of the destruction camps where the Holocaust took place, but put them in the general prison-camps reserved for political opponents and common criminals.
