After his eventual arrest for participation in the conspiracy to kill Hitler, Bonhoeffer was taken to Tegel Prison and there interned for eighteen months. While there, he maintained a correspondence with his fiancée, Maria von Wedemeyer, and was able to maintain communications with his allies in the ongoing effort to topple the Nazis. Bonhoeffer was also imprisoned, for a time, in a Gestapo prison in Berlin, and was eventually taken to Buchenwald, one of the largest Nazi concentration camps where he spent two months.
