Feldafing

Philatelic Materials

 

    Feldafing, located in southern Germany, was the site of a labor camp which was a subcamp of Dachau. The camp appears to have been associated with the firm "Hocg-Tief AG" and was established in April 1942 and was last mentioned in April 1945 on the Dachau transfer books. After the war, the camp became a major camp for Jewish displaced persons.
