A Living Hell

Deep within the Tyrolean Alps, the light of dawn shone down onto the fields of the Austrian Landscape. Located within a specific corner of the great German Kingdom lies a large timber industry. If one were to gaze upon this particular forestry camp, they would immediately realize the extensive fortifications that surrounded it. Where heavily armed guards acted as sentries, keeping the prisoners within under lock and key. 

The Kingdom of Austria did not tolerate crime in any form, and aside from those most heinous of criminal acts that were dealt with via execution, the overwhelming majority of convicted criminals served a lengthy sentence within a labor camp. After all, the Austrian King was a man of brutal efficiency, and he refused to pay for criminals to sit on their ass and do nothing productive for years on end.
