View submission: Were non-French civilians actively persecuted in Nazi-occupied France?
Do you have any info on the camps in Belgium. A name and place would already go a long way.

This site[1] has a list of German camps throughout Europe. Search for "Belgien" to get the list of camps in Belgium. Of notable importance was the transit camp (Dulag, for Durchgangslager) of Malines/Mechelen[2] which was used from 1942 to 1944 to send Jews and Roma to Auschwitz.

Note that prisoners were also held in facilities that do not appear on the list above. Wodehouse was first held in a prison in Loos (Northern France), then moved to army barracks in near Liege, and then to the Fort of Huy[3], which was also used for political prisoners and hostages.
