Outstanding questions

• The Bundeszentrale indicates that the earliest date for the camp’s establishment found in reports is 1941; eyewitnesses and a report by the local authorities in Wallersdorf from 1951 point to the fall of 1944 (September)
• The locations are not entirely clear at this time. It would be good to find the original of the RAF aerial photo and superimpose it onto the current map. The Erlau location could also be clearer, is this where one of the memorials is or where the KZ-Gedenkstaette Flossenbuerg's GPS info?
