    Forced labor from Sachsenhausen concentration camp

    During the Second World War, Heinkel was a major user of forced labor from Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Reference accounts state that approximately 6,000 to 8,000 prisoners were employed in Heinkel production. The use of concentration-camp labor is a central issue in the company’s historical record and reflects its integration into the Nazi armaments economy.
