Outstanding questions

• "Zwickau" is mentioned in Supreme headquarters allied expeditionary force, The German concentration camps, page A89 as "Reichenbach" in 1933, 1936, 1938 and "Possibly a PW camp now.". More research is needed, as the Flossenbürg-Zwickau camp is said to have been near another camp and in the factory many forced labourers from other countries were active.
