Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Nordhausen was liberated by the 104th US Infantry Division on April 12th, 1945. When the first American GIs arrived in the camp, they discovered a gruesome scene. More than 3,000 corpses were scattered, helter-skelter on the grounds. In several hangars there were no survivors and in others they found only 2 or 3 living inmates lying amongst dozen of corpses. The situation was so calamitous that the medic unit of the 104th Infantry Division had to request urgent medical reinforcments and supplies. More than 400 German civilians living in the direct vicinity of the camp were forced by the GIs to evacuate the corpses. The medic units of the 104th Division did the best they could to save as many prisoners as possible but even with the excellent care they received, numerous inmates died in the hours and days following the liberation of the camps. |
