This Collection comprises correspondences and some official papers related to the prisoners of the Dachau 3K Concentration Camp in 1934 -- 1944
Commandant's regulations in regard to prisoner correspondences read as follows,
Every inmate [whose deportation is pending] is allowed to send or receive one letter or card. The lines have to be written in ink clearly and legibly. Letters may not go over four normal pages with 15 lines each, cards not over 10 lines. Only a 12 Rpf. postal stamps may be attached to each writing; any more will be handed to penniless inmates. No photos are allowed to be sent. Each shipment has to include an inmate or block number. No packages of any kind may be received. Everything can be bought in the camp. It is permissible to send money, but they must be sent through postal recommendation. National socialist newspapers are permissible, but must be ordered through the postal censorship authority. Requests for the release of the internment to the camp administration are futile.
