Wittaler [7]

When the infamous Auschwitz Concentration Camp was created, its construction plans were primarily A. to house Soviet POWs.

Opened in 1940, Auschwitz, also known as Auschwitz-Birkenau, infamously became the largest Nazi concentration and death camps. Its original construction plans were not to become:

A women's concentration camp
Weapons and tanks factory
Concentration Camp for murdering Jews.

Thus, the original construction plans were altered to become a killing center for Jews instead of housing Soviet POWs.
