Germany - 0.5 (half) Mark 1943 - Ravensbrück camp - PMG AU 53
The Ravensbrück camp (German: Ravensbrück) was during the Third Reich a concentration camp in the Templin region of the German state of Brandenburg, near the town of Furstenberg on the Dark River, about a hundred kilometers north of Berlin. It is considered the concentration camp (which later even became an extermination camp) for the largest women in Germany.
According to a preliminary British estimate from 1946, about 91,000 women were exterminated in the camp, but this estimate turned out to be too high. According to more recent studies, which are also in dispute, there are 25,000 to 40,000 victims in the camp. This number does not include death row inmates.
