Discussion Question

rotes K als Blocknummer?

Obere rechte Ecke, mit Bleisitift: 3

Das rote K- vielleicht das hier:

K. (e.g. ‘K ’, i.e. Kriegsverbrecher) war criminal (i.e. category of concentration camp prisoner held,
typically in a hard labor punishment detail known as a K-Kompanie
[= K-Company], for offenses harmful to the war effort; a handwritten
“K.”, usually in red pencil, may be seen in such a prisoner’s
concentration camp registration documents, and in camps like
Buchenwald such prisoners, typically also classified as “Political,” are
said to have been made to wear a red triangle with a “K” as their
prisoner type insignia in order to single them out for special
maltreatment by SS guards)
See also entries for: “K-Kompanie” and “57” in “Numbers” section near
end of this Glossary

Würde als Blocknummer die 3 aus dem rechten oberen Eck eintragen.
Im Glossary findet man für das rote K die Erklärung Kriegsverbrecher. Also das K mit + zur Haftart.
