Vulkan

In early December 1944, about 650 prisoners from Dachau were sent to Haslach im Kinzigtal near the current French border to work in a war-producing industry. Vulkan was located inside a mountain, thus serving as a natural protection against allied bomb attacks. Between September and December, 1944, two additional camps were established in Haslach, named Sportpalatz and Kinzigdamm. All three camps were evacuated towards the end of the war when the front approached and the prisoners were forced out on Death marches eastwards. In total, about 1700 slave workers from nineteen different countries were forced to work in one of the three camps, hundreds died.
