Discussion Question

Was bedeutet „Dachs 4“? Ich nehme an, dass es eine Art „Tarnname“ für ein Lager ist, so wie auch „S3“ (bzw. „S III“)?

OSTERODE-PETERSHÜTTE (“DACHS IV”)

The subcamp “Dachs IV,” which was established rather late, was in some ways different from the other camps and construction sites in the Mittelbau-Dora complex: it lay outside the core geographical area of the concentration camp complex (the camp was located around 50 kilometers [31 miles] to the northwest of the main camp). Its inmates did not have to excavate underground facilities for the Junkers company, as was mostly the case in other Mittelbau concentration camp construction projects. Instead, they were to excavate an underground oil refinery for the Hamburg oil company Rhenania-Ossag. It was for this reason that the construction project, unlike most of the other Mittelbau projects, was not controlled by SS members from the Kammler-Stab but by the Sonderstab (special staff) of the Armaments Ministry, which was under the control of Edmund Geilenberg. Geilenberg’s special staff was to secure the production of petroleum in Germany. His staff appointed the Organisation Todt’s (OT) Einsatzgruppe IV as construction project manager.
