St. Georgen Special prison and correctional institution
St. Georgen- Bayreuth - During the Second World War , large numbers of foreigners were brought in, especially Czechs and forced deported Eastern workers . Special tightening was prescribed for the execution of sentences against Poles and French resistance fighters . Towards the end of the war, the prison, which had room for around 1200 prisoners, was overcrowded with over 5000 prisoners from more than ten nations. Since the local Gauleiter Fritz Wächtler wanted to excel with the record number of German war refugees, the prison had to surrender almost all supplies at the inmates' expense.Special prison and correctional institution St. Georgen- Bayreuth special form letter 1944 .
