Best Answer

One of the first camps found the British and Canadian armies was Breendonck near Antwerp in Belgium. It was, strictly speaking, a transit camp and 'intensive interrogation centre' (where members of the Belgian resistance were tortured) but was also used as a concentration camp. It was liberated early in September 1944.

The biggest camp that the British liberated was Bergen-Belsen, near Hanover, liberated in April 1945.

Did Britain ever have concentration camps?

No, British soldiers taken prisoners by the Gerrmans were sent to prisoner of war (POW) camps, where conditions were much better.

There were also a very small number who were sent to concentration camps by mistake.
