VERY RARE Third Reich  CONCENTRATION CAMP PRISONER’S LETTER Certified By The Gettysburg Museum Of History. Dachau was the first  Concentration Camp began operation on March 22, 1933 in the town of Dachau, about 10 miles northwest of Munich, Germany (the birthplace of the Nazi party). It began as a camp strictly for political prisoners—social democrats, communists, other Nazi political opponents and the like—and held 4,800 prisoners when it opened. As we know, Dachau expanded in both size and requirements to holding other groups like Roma, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and in the days following the Kristallnacht of November 9-10, 1938, 10,000 Jewish men. It’s estimated that during its existence, 41,500 people died at Dachau Concentration Camp. However, the exact number will never be known. Dachau Concentration Camp was the first ever Nazi concentration camp in what would become a total of 44,000 camps and similar incarceration centers. It was used as a Nazi training facility for SS camp guards. Because of its “success,” was used as a model for all concentration camps built afterwards. American troops liberated the camp on April 16^th, 1945. It was the only concentration camp in operation for the entirety of the Third Reich.
