____________________________
Since 1933 the camps were designed to hold criminals and political opponents, they were expanded to take anti-socials, with more laws criminalising different activities, more groups were sent to the camps, these would include Jehovah's Witnesses, Homosexuals and trades unionists. After the outbreak of war these types of 'criminals' would arrive from conquored territories, as well as any partisans/resistance fighters who were not executed and eventually Jews.


The camps were run by the SS, Kapos were prisoner trustees who would be incharge of ( and responsible for) their barracks, they were generally violent or political prisoners.
