Natzwiller (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Natzwiller is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France. Built around 1941 on the territory of the commune, Natzweiler-Struthof was the only Nazi concentration camp on French soil. The inmates originally were German who were to supply labor for building V-2 factories in man-made caves dug out of the Vosges Mountains. The prisoners would live in the cold, damp tunnels as they built them. Natzweiler-Struthof was expanded by the Nazis with the installation of a gas chamber and crematory for the mass killing of Jews, Gypsies, and captured Resistance fighters from the Netherlands, Belgium, and France.
