Elser never faced a trial for the bombing of the Bürgerbräukeller. After his year of torment at Berlin Gestapo Headquarters, he was kept in special custody in [[Sachsenhausen concentration camp]] between early 1941 and early 1945.<ref name="Hellmut G 2013"/> At Sachsenhausen, Elser was held in isolation in a T-shaped building reserved for protected prisoners. Accommodated in three joined cells, each 9.35&nbsp;m<sup>2</sup>, there was space for his two full-time guards and a work space to make furniture and other things, including several zithers.<ref name="Hellmut G 2013"/>

Elser's apparent preferential treatment, which included extra rations and daily visits to the camp barber for a shave, aroused interest amongst other prisoners, including British SIS officer Payne Best. He wrote later that Elser was also allowed regular visits to the [[German camp brothels in World War II|camp brothel]].<ref>Best, S. Payne. ''The Venlo Incident'', first published by Hutchinson & Co in 1950.{{page needed|date=November 2020}}</ref>{{page needed|date=November 2020}} [[Martin Niemöller]] was also a special inmate in the Sachsenhausen "bunker" and believed the rumours that Elser was an SS man and an agent of Hitler and Himmler. Elser kept a photo of Elsa Härlen in his cell. In early 1945, Elser was transferred to the bunker at Dachau concentration camp.<ref name="Hellmut G 2013"/>
