As soon as the invasion occurred people were being imprisoned and held at Stutthof. It was a camp where 110,000 people were held inside of and around 65,000 prisoners never made it out of the barbed wire fences. Executions were carried out on a daily basis at Stutthof on the firing range, and also doctors would execute patients.
