Sachsenhausen prison camp was established in 1936. It was located 35 kilometres (22\u00a0mi) north of Berlin, which gave it a primary position among the German concentration camps: the administrative centre of all concentration camps was located in Oranienburg, and Sachsenhausen became a training centre for\u00a0Schutzstaffel<\/em>\u00a0(SS) officers (who would often be sent to oversee other camps afterwards).<\/p>\n

The initial prisoner population at Sachsenhausen consisted primarily of political enemies. On November 10, 1936, the SS murdered Gustav Lampe, a communist and member of the Reichstag. An SS Block Leader had thrown his cap over the sentry fence, and while Lampe was trying to retrieve it, as he had been ordered to do, he was “shot while attempting to escape”.<\/p>\n
