Arbeitsdorf was a concentration camp established by the Nazis in 1942. In 1936, a German car engineer named Ferdinand Porche designed a prototype of a car that would be affordable enough for all Germans to buy. He showed his idea to the then dictator of Germany, Adolf Hitler. Hitler liked his idea and ordered the manufacture of the car which was known as the KDF-Wagen or later known as the Volkswagen vehicle. With Hitler's approval, Porche and his partner Albert Speer set up a factory in Fallersleben, a town 30 miles northeast of the city of Braunschweig, and because of the war, all production from this camp was to be used for military purposes only. In 1942, Porche and Speer started a project to see how to use concentration camp prisoners for the benefit of their industry. So on April 8, 1942, a new camp, Arbeitsdorf, was opened to produce the KDF-Wagen for cheaper and large-scale production. On October 11, 1942, six months after the camp was first established, production of the vehicles was stopped and the camp was closed. A minimum of 600 prisoners perished at Arbeitsdorf.

How was arbeitsdorf built?
Arbeitsdorf, a Nazi labor camp, was built by forced laborers using construction materials sourced from local areas.
