Flossenburg was established in May of 1938 in Bavaria, near the Czech border. The camp consisted of the main camp, and 84 subcamps. It was originally a camp for criminals, homosexuals, asocial prisoners, and Jews, but it eventually began to include foreign prisoners of war and political prisoners. The estimated number of people killed at Flossenburg between 1938 and 1945 is about 30,000, and in the latter half of the war, many of those killed were Soviet Soldiers. Flossenburg also trained women guards. The camp was finally liberated in 1945 by US forces and about 1,600 prisoners were found and rescued.
"German girl of Namering expresses horror at sight of murdered Russians, Czechs and French whose bodies were ordered exhumed by U.S. 3rd Army military government officers. Civilians did the reburials. Victims were formerly in Flossenberg Prison Camp and were killed by Nazis" (Oregon State).
