          I don't think Servusalle's photo shows Schwester Pia (Eleonore Baur). The woman in his photo is too young and is much prettier than Baur. Also, she has a totally different shaped nose.

              Did she also receive the NSDAP Golden Party Badge? Seems like with a background like hers she would have been a recipient.

                  During the war, she ran the Muenchen-Schwabing labour camp, a sub-camp of Dachau.

                  She was released from imprisonment in 1950, but spent the next few years in and out of detention because of various legal processes.

                        Robin,
                        Thanks....very interesting reading, but.......
                        Wikipedia is renowned for non-academic bull****, so I read with tongue in cheek. I'd like to see a more academic source. To suggest that Eleonore Baur was entrusted with the running of a sub-camp of Dachau is, to be honest, a little far fetched. I'm not saying it's crap (really!), but more acceptable academic evidence might be a help.
                        I was under the impression that Baur was interned (not imprisoned) for several years because she remained a dyed-in-the wool National Socialist until her death. Like her or not, one has to admire her tenacity.
                        Happy New Year to all in the "heathen" north!
                        Max.

                          Nice to see a picture on a name I already have read about. I think she received the Golden party badge as well.

                            These were the sources...............................

                            Sources
                            This subcamp is listed in ITS, Verzeichnis der Haftstätten unter dem Reichsführer SS (1933-1945), 2 vols. (Arolsen, 1979), I: 87. Sabine Schalm published an article on the career of Eleonore Baur and her prisoner commando: “Schwester Pia: Karriere einer Strassenbahnbekanntschaft - Fürsorge der Waffen SS im Konzentrationslager Dachau,” in: Frauen als Täterinnen im Nationalsozialismus, Bd. 2, Protokollband der Fachtagung am 16. und 17. September 2005 in Bernburg, ed. V. Viola Schubert-Lenhardt, pp. 52-67. Hans Holzhaider published an article on Eleonore Baur's personality, entitled “Schwester Pia,” DaH 10 (1994): 101-114. There is also a contribution by the Geschichtswerkstatt Neuhausen, “Schwester Pia - Ein Leben für Deutschland?” Landeshauptstadt München, Frauenleben in München / Lesebuch zur Geschichte des Muenchner Alltags; Geschichtswettbewerb 1992 (München, 1993), pp. 125-130. An older contribution is Johann Hess, “Braune Schwester Pia,” Eugen Weiler (ed.), Die Geistlichkeit in Dachau (Mödling: Missionsdruckerei St. Gabriel, 1971).
                            The relevant archival sources on the München-Schwabing subcamp and Eleonore Baur are the denazification files in StA-M, Spruchkammerakten, Karton 75, Eleonore Baur, Vol. 1-5; and the investigation files of the Sta. München II, 34448, Vol. 1-2. These files contain detailed witnesses' statements both from Baur and the prisoners. Publications by prisoners are sparse but the following should be mentioned: Rudolf Kalmar, Zeit ohne Gnade (Wien, 1946), pp. 176-179. Other unpublished reports are in the AG-D, for example “Erinnerungen des österreichischen Häftlings Hans Schwarz,” AG-D Hängeordner SS/Schwester Pia. The most recent contribution is the monograph by Stanislav Zamecnik, Das war Dachau (Luxemburg, 2002), pp. 180-184.
