Β΄ Τάγμα Σκαπανέων 1947. Καταυλισμός

The buildings and facilities in Makronissos were located on the western part of the island. A contemporary visitor will encounter buildings and ruins of the six camps that operated autonomously under the supervision of a captain and cadre of officers. Outposts, barbed wire fences and walls surrounded each camp.

More specifically, these camps [from north to south] were named as follows:

• Disciplinary Camp (1948-July 1950)
• Second Sappers Battalion (Second Special Privates Battalion, B ETO) (1947-1953)
• Second Special Civilian Rehabilitation School (B ETO-ESAI) (1949-1950)
• First Sappers Battalion (First Special Privates Battalion, A ETO) (1947-1953)
• First Special Civilian Rehabilitation School (A ETO-ESAI) (1949-1950)
• Special Women’s Rehabilitation School (ESAG)
• Officers Presentation Centre C (1947-1948)
• Military Hospital of Makronissos (SNM) (1949-1953)
• Third Sappers Battalion (Third Special Privates Battalion, C ETO) (1947-1953)
• Athens Military Prison (SFA) (1947-1950)

The topographic maps of Nikos Margaris offer a panorama of the Makronissos camps as they operated throughout time. Thanks to these sketches, it is possible today to reposition and reconstruct the locations of buildings and facilities.
