Work details and subcamps

External work details (Aussenkommando)

• Work detachments constructed air-raid shelters in Berlin,
• they were sent to Mahlow, a village just south of Lichtenrade, to rebuild a destroyed military hospital.
• After air raids, Lichtenrade inmates were forced to clear rubble from the streets, and special details were sent to dismantle unexploded bombs.
• Prisoners were also deployed to help residents who lived on the outskirts of the camp and who needed laborers to reconstruct and repair parts of their homes damaged by bombing attacks.
• Although it was forbidden, witnesses have asserted that some members of the Nazi administration used prisoners in their private gardens or to construct private residences.
