Flossenburg was a camp in the hills above the village of Floss in Bavaria near the Czech border. The camp was established in 1938 to assist an SS firm which operated a large granite quarry nearby. Most inmates were worked in the quarries or nearby Messerschmidt factories. More than 110,000 prisoners passed through Flossenburg and its subcamps. It is estimated that up to 45,000 died, many of them during the evacuation of the camp in 1945.
