Outstanding questions

• However, this was not the first group of prisoners to arrive in Plattling: concentration camp prisoners had been used since March 1944 by the Organisation Todt (OT) Bauleitung (Construction Management) and the Klug company on the nearby airfield, mostly in the construction of roads. Where did they come from and where were they housed, further information, etcetera?
• The second location of the camp is not recorded here yet. More research is needed.
