When first established in 1933 it was quite small and was established on the grounds of an ammunition factory. A few barracks were added to house both the prisoners and the guards and staff. It eventually grew to include 30 subcamps scattered across southern Germany. These subcamps were labor camps and were administered by the Dachau staff. At the time of liberation there were 67,665 prisoners listed as part of the camp system. Only 32,000 were actually liberated. During the 1933 to 1945 period, 188,000 had passed through it.
