For the Jews, AND the soldiers?
Answer
Men, women, and children are confined without normal judicial trials for an indeterminate period of confinement. Camp authorities usually exercise unlimited, arbitrary power. Although many kinds of facilities have served as concentration camps, they usually consist of barracks, huts, or tents, surrounded by watchtowers and barbed wire. Concentration camps are also known by various other names such as corrective labor camps, relocation centers, and reception centers. During World War II (1939-1945) more than 6 million people died in German concentration camps, but there have been other camps throughout history.
In Germany, the Nazis established concentration camps almost immediately after assuming power on January 30, 1933. A decree in February removed the constitutional protection against arbitrary arrest. The security police had the authority to arrest anyone and to commit that person to a camp for an indefinite period. The political police, known as the Gestapo, imposed âprotective custodyâ on a wide variety of political opponents: Communists, socialists, religious dissenters, Jehovahâs Witnesses, and Jews. The criminal police, known as the Kripo, imposed âpreventive arrestâ on professional criminals and numerous groups of so-called asocials: Roma (Gypsies), homosexuals, and prostitutes. The SS (Schutzstaffel, or protective units) operated the camps with brutal military discipline. During the 1930s six major camps were established: Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Buchenwald, Flossenbürg, Mauthausen, and, for women, Ravensbrück. In 1939 these camps held about 25,000 prisoners.
During World War II the camps increased in size and number. Important new ones included Auschwitz-Birkenau, Natzweiler, Neuengamme, Gross-Rosen, Stutthof, Lublin-Majdanek, Hinzert, Vught, Dora, and Bergen-Belsen. Millions of prisoners entered these camps from every occupied country of Europe: Jews, partisans, Soviet prisoners of war, and impressed foreign laborers. Early in 1942 the SS Central Office for Economy and Administration (Wirtschafts-Verwaltungshauptamt, or WVHA) assumed operational control of the concentration camps, and inmates were exploited as forced laborers in industrial production. In addition to the central camps, the WVHA operated hundreds of subsidiary camps, and local offices of the security police in the occupied territories maintained large numbers of forced labor camps. Inmates were worked to death in industries such as the I. G. Farben chemical works and the V-2 rocket factories. Those no longer able to work were killed by gassing, shooting, or fatal injections. Inmates were also used for âmedical experiments.â Early in 1945 the camp population exceeded 700,000.
During World War II the Nazis also established extermination centers to kill entire populations. There the SS systematically gassed millions of Jews and thousands of Roma and Soviet prisoners of war. Two extermination centers operated in concentration camps under the authority of the WVHA: Auschwitz-Birkenau and Lublin-Majdanek. Five operated in camps established by regional SS and police leaders: BeÅżec, Sobibór, and Treblinka in eastern Poland; Kulmhof (Chelmno) in western Poland; and Semlin outside Belgrade, in Serbia. More than 6 million persons, the majority of whom were Jews, perished in the Nazi camps. (Millions of Jews were also exterminated outside the camps.)
During World War II the U.S. Army forced approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were American citizens, from their primarily West Coast homes to ten concentration camps, many in the interior of the country. The U.S. government referred to these prisonlike camps as relocation centers.
Prisoners of War (POWs), in international law, term used to designate incarcerated members of the armed forces of an enemy, or noncombatants who render them direct service and who have been captured during wartime. Surgeons, chaplains, news correspondents, and hospital attendants of the Red Cross are not included in this category, nor are civilians who are detained and interned in belligerent countries. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries the Red Cross has brought comfort, legal aid, and attention to the plight of interned soldiers.
Prisoners of war, commonly called POWs, have no protection from the law of the nation that captures them and no civil remedy. By the customs, treaties, and conventions of international law, however, prisoners of war are supposed to be granted humane treatment by the enemy.

Anyone knows any WILD camping site near london?
Maribel
Me and my mates are eager to camp but we dont want go too far in london for safety reasons, any nearby wild camping site will do aslong as we are allowed to drink alcohol and be loud at night. please provide a link if possible =]
THANKS in advance
Answer
Hi, it's me again...
That's how I do it. Camp wild nearly every time. Very rare I stay on a site. Done it on five continents.
Trouble round London is finding somewhere far enough away from civilisation so you can camp out and be noisy without any noise going where you don't want it to go.
There's also light...it goes a long way at night......even a tiny torch will show up two miles away on a dark night.
You won't find links to wild camping sites because there aren't any wild camping sites that are run as such. Wild camping is camping out in the wilds so it isn't on a site. Organised sites mostly don't allow alcohol in tents, only in the campsite bar, and they won't put up with noise at night so that's no good.
In the wilds, you find somewhere, sneak in, set up the tent, cook, drink, have fun, sleep (sometimes), take the tent down and go home or off to another handy bit of woodland or a lonely field with a high hedge.
No site fees, no bookings, and if you're careful, no worries.
There are loads of places in the Chiltern Hills you can hide well enough, or on the North Downs, or out in Essex, thousands of possible places.
It means being OK with map reading...reading the land from a map to look for a place.
Google Earth is useful. Zoom around the countryside looking for likely locations.
On almost every bit of beach and in woodland in UK fires are illegal.
Far out places and proper smoke control maybe you'll get away with it but the fines can be very heavy. A couple of big portables stoves or disposable BBQs would be a better idea but the atmosphere isn't the same sat around a stove with a couple of guitars.
I've camped in nearly every county in UK on beaches, the Purbeck Hills, South Downs, Dartmoor, Exmoor, all sorts, scrimmed up in a small green tent and with fires that are very well controlled.
I was an outdoor instructor in the Army so I can do 'stealth' fires and stay hidden reasonably OK, but every fire sends a signal of sorts either on the wind or by eye. Keeping the signal low is the idea.
That's not the idea with a big fire to sit around with guitars and singing songs.
The woodlands give you loads of firemaking materials but care is needed anywhere you go in UK if you want a fire so my normal advice is...don't bother.
Here's the gaff about fires...for the Peak District but applies all over UK....woodland and moorland anywhere.
The guy on top carries a washing machine tub eh? Hell of a backpack he's got.

There are hundreds of places reachable by public transport.
Have fun, take care, and be brave.
Fortune favours the brave, but not the just plain daft,haha.
Have a think about any place you get to, how to look 'non-camping' if necessary, and how to get out again.
Here are some answers about it for other people....local woods, guy in a car looking for a stopping place overnight, north country one but the tips are the same for everywhere, even in Germany or China.
Intro...applies round London too
