Background
The Halle concentration camp was located at Mötzlich, near Halle. It provided forced labor for the Siebel aircraft manufacturer under agreement with the SS-Wirtschafts-Verwaltungshauptamt (SS-WVHA). In 1944, during the Allied bombardment of Germany, it received many inmates from the Birkhahn camp, a Nazi Germany Buchenwald sub-camp, near Weimar, and became known as the Halle-Siebel or Birkhahn-Mötzlich camp. Laborers were also provided to the "Bauleitung Professor Doktor Ingenieur Rimpl, Kostenstell B-XII". At a cost of six/four Reichsmarks per day, skilled/unskilled laborers were used in the metalworking department to construct parts for airplane wings.
