In the KLs, Hair longer than 2 Zentimeter was shaved from the inmates, female or male.



Out of this, they made Wolldecken, Matratzen, Winterstiefel, Uboot-Unterlagen, and other stuff out of human hair.



This is a well kown fact, there a many souces to be found....





Yes, but what is wrong with that?When you go for a hair-cut, do you know what the barber does with the hair he has cut off your head? Do you care?It would not bother me if my barber collected my hair and made mohair blankets out of it.As I wrote, when fashionable Parisian ladies had a coiffure at an upmarket salon, the hair was collected and sent to French factories where it was woven into textiles. The film company Gaumont even made a wartime documentary about that process, no doubt to reassure the citizenry that even the upper class was contributing to overcoming wartime shortages.And now those fashionable Parisian women who donated their hair are dishonoured, forgotten, what a crying shame.
