 | | Auschwitz III or the Monowitz subcamp was created in December 1943, and had jurisdiction of 37 subsidiary camps, where approximately 150,000 prisoners perished. |
 | | Usually, their rank in the Waffen SS was much lower than the one they had held in the General SS; this applied, for example, when the staffs of the concentration camps as a group received Waffen SS reserve status during the war. |
 | | Thus, the ranks of individual SS officers listed in documents from the pre-war years, when they were members of the General SS, will often be higher than those listed for the same individual in documents from the war years, when they were members of the Waffen SS. |
