Description

Rare death certificate issued in 1942 by SS Administration from SS training camp and slave labour camp in Debica to a Polish slave labour who died in that camp. Condition of the certificate isn’t the best but it’s complete. SS-Truppenübungsplatz Heidelager was a World War II SS military complex and Nazi concentration camp in Pustków and Pustków Osiedle, Occupied Poland. The Nazi facility was built to train collaborationist military units, including the Ukrainian 14th Waffen SS Division "Galician", and units from Estonia. This training included killing operations inside the concentration camps – most notably at the nearby Pustków and Szebnie camps – and Jewish ghettos in the vicinity of the ‘Heidelager’. The military area was situated in the triangle of the WisÅ‚a and San rivers, dominated by large forest areas. The centre of the Heidelager was at Blizna, the location of the secret Nazi V-2 missile launch site, which was built and staffed by prisoners from the concentration camp at Pustków. I was later renamed "Debica".**This article is sent from our office in Europe**
