Sonder- und Ehrenhaft

Sonder- und Ehrenhaft (German for "special or honorable detention") were categories of detention for political prisoners in Nazi Germany who held particular political value or former status. These prisoners ("Sonder- oder Ehrenhäftlinge", "special or honorable detainees") included political leaders from Nazi-occupied Europe and disgraced members of the German elite. They were treated uncommonly well, and all but a few of them survived World War II.
