Landau and Grebenstein to Camp Conti at Korbach, 1947

Landau, Kreis Waldeck → Camp Conti, Korbach

A recollection published in 2013 describes a camp at Landau in Kreis Waldeck, formed immediately after the war and disbanded in 1947 with its population transferred to Camp Conti. The catalogue supports the identification and notes that the camp at Grebenstein in Kreis Hofgeismar closed in June 1947 with its residents moved to Korbach. Conti was not the only receiving camp for the district, nor Landau the only feeder.
