"The British ought to realise that wa must have concentration camps for Communists and Jews because the prisons are full," said the Nazi commandant of tho great camp at Fullsbuettel, which is half a mile square, and is surrounded, by electrified barbed wire fences and armed guards. It is ci-owded'-with 12,000 prisoners, mostly Jews. The commandant added; "They have- grown, idle and wealthy at the expense of Germans, and must now work and become useful citizens."
Tho . "Sunday Graphic's" . correspondent stiites that he- saw thousands sweating furiously in the rain over useless tasks. Some were digging a great hole, while others were refilling it. Others were moving a great boulder hither and thither. Meanwhile tho. prisoners' wives and women Communists were employed in cooking, and in making Nazi uniforms. Ths camp contains a garden in which the flower beds take the form of the swastika which the prisoners must water daily. They also attend lectures 6n the benefits of Hitlerism.
