ABSTRACT
Flossenburg was one of the "extermination camps," where those people were murdered who either had never come before the "People's Court," or had been acquitted by it. Dr. Carl Sack, the former Judge Advocate-General of the German Army, Admiral Canaris, and General Oster were hanged at Flossenbürg. One of the large adjoining cells housed a number of British prisoners of war who had attempted to escape from a prison camp, and after recapture had been transfered to Flossenburg. The Schutzstaffel (SS) evidently did not have sufficient manpower or organization left to guard the prisoners as strictly as before. The SS simply disappeared, after having tried—unsuccessfully—to get certificates of good behavior from people. The British prisoners of war finally decided to take command. From that moment on there was a subtle change in the relationship between them and people, with some of the former strong feeling of comradeship fading.
