The Soldau concentration camp was a concentration camp established by Nazi Germany during World War II in Działdowo (German: Soldau), which after the occupation of Poland was part of East Prussia.
With the approval of Reinhard Heydrich, Otto Rasch founded the camp in the winter of 1939/40 as a Durchgangslager (Dulag), or transit camp, where political prisoners could be secretly executed. In accordance with Action T4, mental patients at sanatoria in East Prussia and Regierungsbezirk Zichenau were taken to the Soldau camp; 1,558 patients were murdered by the Lange Commando in a gas van from May 21 to June 8, 1940.
