A DP camp, or displaced persons camp, was a temporary facility established after World War II to house and assist refugees and other displaced individuals. These camps provided shelter, food, medical care, and other basic necessities to those who were forced to leave their homes due to the war. DP camps were administered by various organizations, including the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) and the International Refugee Organization (IRO), and played a crucial role in the post-war recovery efforts.

BeauWell, darling, a DP camp stands for "displaced persons camp." It was a temporary facility set up after World War II to house and assist refugees who had been displaced during the war. So, in a nutshell, it's like a pit stop for people who got caught up in the chaos of the war and needed a place to regroup.
At the end of World War 2 there were many people in concentration camps or labor camps who were unable to (or did not want to) return to their countries of origin. The Allies set up Displaced Persons camps for them till they were able to find new permanent homes.
