By 1943, 45 sub-camps are dotted round the Auschwitz region, most providing slave labour for armaments factories and other industrial concerns.
At the centre of this web is the giant camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau with another, even more sinister, source of income - clothes and valuables taken from Jews arriving there to be gassed.
The Nazi leadership naturally intends such wealth to fill the coffers of the Third Reich in Berlin, but much of it actually stays at the camp, as the SS at Auschwitz have their fingers well and truly in the till.
