The death marches in the Holocaust (as opposed to those in the Far East) were to:
-
move inmates from one prison/camp to another.
-
to maintain the healthiest prisoners to that they could continue to provide slave labour.
-
to avoid the prisoners from being liberated and thus become witnesses.
Usually on the death marches there would not be any food or water and anyone who could not maintain the pace would likely be executed. There were even some death marches that had no destination, they kept walking until either the guards deserted or the prisoners escaped.
