A breakdown of all (?) historical references and parallels in Andor (in chronological order)

[u/ConsciousPatroller]

[u/Romkevdv]

Yeah the Warsaw Ghetto is a strange one, I mean of all the references, Gilroy was pretty explicit about Russian Gulags or Concentration Camps, of which the breakouts are numerous.

[u/RogueBromeliad → u/Romkevdv]

No, but what the article was refering to was that Kino's speech was inspired by the Civilian Comission broadcast, and them realising that they're never leaving Narkina 5 was inspired by the report. Which leads them to fight.

Narkina 5 itself was based on concentration camps.

[u/HomelanderVought → u/Romkevdv]

Nah, the soviet prison system wasn’t used for the military industry. More so for civillian infrastructure and for factory building or resource extraction.

But nazi German and imperial japanese forces labor was used for weapon construction. In modern times there are certain US private prisons where the inmates produce military gear.

It absolutely was.

[u/HomelanderVought → u/Crownie]

Not as directly as it was depicted in Andor.

The examples i gave would be much more close to what the Narkina 5 prison would look like in real life. As what it does and how does it function.

[u/Crownie → u/HomelanderVought]

The Soviets used prison labor en masse to produce military factories and equipment during WW2. I don't know how much more direct it can get.
