History
Mühldorf (Mettenheim-Hart) Concentration Camp
- From Tenhumbergreinhard,[1] via google translate:
":About 7,500 men and 800 women were deported to the Mühldorf camps M I, Waldlager V, VI, Mittergars and Thalham.
On average, there were about 3,000-5,000 prisoners in the camps. The prisoners were almost exclusively Jews and came to Bavaria mainly via the Auschwitz and Stutthof concentration camps or directly from Hungary.
From January 1945 onwards, prisoners were deported mainly from camps in the Reich to the Mühldorf and Kaufering camps. M I was the main camp and location of the SS Kommandantur.
It is not possible to determine the number of people who died in the Mühldorf camps. 3,556 prisoners have been proven to have survived. For the camp M I, 1,341 deaths are given in a book of the dead. If we add the deported to Auschwitz and the dead in the smaller camps and the forest camp V, VI, as well as the prisoners who died during the evacuation, it can be assumed that almost half of all prisoners perished"
- From United States Holocaust Memorial & Museum:
"According to the account of a prisoner who turned over the camp's administrative files to American authorities, the Mettenheim camp held some 2,000 inmates, a nearby women's camp 500 persons, the “forest camps” (Waldlager) about 2,250 male and female inmates, while two other camps held a total of 550 persons. Most of the prisoners were Hungarian Jews, but there were also Jews from Greece, France, Italy as well as political prisoners from Russia, Poland, Germany, and Serbia."
