Both the Axis powers and the allies used concentration camps of different sizes during WWII.

There were at least 1200 in German controlled areas, and hundreds under each rule, ran by Japanese, Russians, British and US Military/authorities.

The biggest known camp in Europe was Auschwitz II-Birkenau, that was an extermination camp, with over 100000 living in the camp.

In small camp there could be only dozens of prisoners.
