Balti concentration camp
...seems to fit the description of a Prisoner-of-war camp instead, as its inmates were current or recent members of the Axis armies. --Illythr (talk) 16:24, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Partly, only. Many (thousands of) inmates prisoners were grabed from roads, some civilians, some Romanian military after the sighing of the Armistice. 70 to 80% were Romanians, including 20-25% locals, i.e. from northern Moldova. The rest were Germans, Italians, Hungarians, Poles and Czechs. It was not a typical POW camp. In fact, there was a second camp in the city. Smaller, where the military base is today. That was a classical POW camp, not a concentration camp. According to the reports in the media, the name "concentration camp" is taken from the NKVD classification of this camp, it is NOT a term someone who was there, or a historian invented. At any rate, we don't have an article for it yet. Whether it will have a "correct" or "wrong" title is a minor issue. The problem is WP does not have the info at all.
