During World War II, Germany established brothels in [[Nazi concentration camps]] ([[Lagerbordell]]). The women forced to work in these brothels came from the [[Ravensbrück concentration camp]],<ref>[[#Askin|Askin]], 72</ref> Soldier's brothels ([[Wehrmachtsbordell]]) were usually organized in already established brothels or in hotels confiscated by the Germans. The leaders of the Wehrmacht became interested in running their own brothels when sexual disease spread among the soldiers. In the controlled brothels, the women were checked frequently to avoid and treat [[Sexually transmitted infection|sexually transmittable infections]] (STI).

It is estimated that a minimum of 34,140 women from occupied states were forced to work as prostitutes in [[Nazi Germany]].<ref name="Herbermann">Nanda Herbermann (2000) ''The Blessed Abyss: Inmate #6582 in Ravensbruck Concentration Prison for Women''. Wayne State University Press, {{ISBN|0814329209}}</ref> In occupied Europe, the local women were often forced into prostitution. On 3 May 1941 the Foreign Ministry of the [[Polish government-in-exile]] issued a document describing the mass Nazi raids made in Polish cities with the goal of capturing young women, who later were forced to work in brothels used by German soldiers and officers. Women often tried to escape from such facilities, with at least one mass escape known to have been attempted by women in [[Norway]].
