While Oppeln was a city in the province of Upper Silesia (Oberschlesien) where the Auschwitz death camp was located, that fact has no historical relevance since all rail car models of that period were named after cities as a matter of convenience and identification.
The drive assembly and axle positioning in the Oppeln design allowed for both a quieter ride and for transports at speeds up for 20 km/h faster than other rail cars, which allowed for more people to be transported in shorter timeframes.
By historical estimates, more than 3 million Jewish people were taken to their deaths by train. More than 30,000 railcars were involved in that effort, and most trains had up to 50 cars each, with each car holding anywhere from 50 to 200 people depending on where they were in use.
