In the early years of the concentration camps, the commandants of each camp were relatively free to produce the forms that were used in their respective camps. From 1942, however, the system of forms in the camps was managed centrally by the SS Chief Economic and Administration Office, where Office Group D was responsible for the administration of the concentration camps. There were exceptions, however, especially if documents were urgently needed – but by this point in time, all documents for all concentration camps were officially supposed to be printed by the Auschwitz camp printing office. Both types of documents are found in the medical registration card file of Gross-Rosen concentration camp: documents from the Wilhelm Möller printing company from the years 1942 and 1943, and those from the Auschwitz camp printing office. The latter can be identified by the abbreviation KL/2, which indicates the type of form. This is followed by the month and year of printing – in this case, April 1943 – and the size of the print run. In April 1943, up to 200,000 copies were printed. This was apparently not enough, however, because cards were also printed in Oranienburg in the same month. This usually happened when the Auschwitz camp printing office had received too many orders and could not deliver the forms on time.
