How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman

The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps.







Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay.

Regular German women were exempt from serving in these brothels. German women were suppose to “bear children for the Führer and Fatherland’’ both within marriage or even in some cases, outside of it.

Women serving as sex workers in these brothels were recruited, sometimes voluntarily and sometimes forced. I read that a major source of prostitutes were local women that had been rounded up from the streets to serve in occupied lands.

I also read that Jewish women were not used as prostitutes in these brothels. They had strict laws against ‘Rassenschande’, or racial shame, prohibited sexual contact with Jews.

But even in those prison camps, things happened.

Execution of Pietro Koch, Nazi collaborator, June 1945

Execution of Pietro Koch, Nazi collaborator, June 1945 Official caption: Koch, who deserted the Italian Army to aid the German SS, is tied to the death chair with his back to the firing squad. He is neatly dressed in a light tan suit. Near Rome, Italy. June 1945 1. Receiving last rites 2-3. Tied to the chair 4. Dead 5. Burning the chair About 2.2 million troops fought against the axis before France fell in 1940. After that, the Free French Army fought on the allies' side. In 1944 there were about 400 000 free french troops (many of them, around one third or perhaps more, were from France's colonial empire, but in some divisions colonial troops made up to two thirds of the total force). By the end of the war, the size of the FFA had risen to 1.3 million, making it the fourth largest allied force. Concerning the french forces of the interior (FFI, or "the resistance"), it's hard to give a definite figure, but 400 000 by 1944 is a common estimate. Compare these ...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
