Auschwitz was a vast complex of concentration camps and an extermination camp. It was not a prisoner of war camp, but a few British and American prisoners were sent there as a punishment or by mistake. A much larger number of Soviet prisoners of war were sent there, too. The Birkenau section (Auschwitz II) was above all a camp for the extermination of Jews.
By 1943 the Auschwitz complex of camps included 35 sub-camps.
