prisoners were not allowed to work on ordnance . tortured.
What happened if men were captured by the enemy in world war 2?
They were held as prisoners of war. What that entailed depended upon the "enemy" who caught them. In Britain we often made prisoners of war work, but on the whole we treated them fairly well. In Japan many prisoners were treated extremely badly and were frequently tortured.
Who removed the bodies of Jews from gas chambers and burned them?
This work was done by prisoners bullied into helping the SS in this way.
What happen to prisoners who are not considered fit enough to work?
If the question is about prisoners held in the Nazi German Concentration Camps during the Second World War, then anyone of them not fit to work for the Nazis were sent to the Gas Chambers (or other methods) to be killed. Those fit to work, were used as slave labor until they were starved or worked to death.
What happened to the prisoners when they first arrived at a concentration camp?
* At Auschwitz (from early 1942 on) the Jews were separated into fit for work and not fit for work. The latter were gassed as soon as possible, the former had to work as slave labourers. * At othe extermination camps, such as Sobibor and Treblinka, a small number of new arrivals were selected to help dispose of the corpses. * At ordinary concentration camps the newly arrived prisoners were sent off to work - as slave labour. * At some ordinary concentration camps, especially in the early days, there were 'initiation ceremonies', including severe beatings, for new arrivals.
