Missler concentration camp

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Missler concentration camp, also known as KZ Mißler in German, was an early concentration camp operating in Nazi Germany.[citation needed]

The concentration camp was set up at the end of March 1933. Under orders of SS-Hauptsturmführer Otto Löblich, 148 prisoners, of which most were persecuted communists, were to be held in "protective custody". Later on the occupancy of the camp was raised to 300.[citation needed] The camp was located in a residential area in Bremen, which made it nearly impossible to shut out spectators,[1] thus the police senator decided to dissolve the camp in July 1933.[citation needed] It wasn't until September 1933 that all the prisoners had been transferred to another camp.[1]

The Missler concentration camp was destroyed during World War Two and all that's left of it are two plaques which remind of the concentration camp.[2]
