Summary

Description
English: Another brutal accruing to the long list of the German-instigated atrocities was recovered for the final accounting by infantrymen of the 3rd Armored Division who entered the "Lager Nordhausen" concentration camp in Nordhausen, Germany. The degree of brutality and degradation achieved by Nazis as evinced by the condition of the few unfortunate prisoners still alive in the camp when entered by U.S. troops is almost unprecedented in the annals of inhumanity and aggression. The bodies of hundreds of slave laborers of all nationalities were found in conditions almost unrecognizable as human. All were little more than skeletons; the dead lay beside the sick and dying in the same beds; filth and human excrement covered the floors. No attempt had been made to alleviate the diseases and gangrene that had spread unchecked among the prisoners. Most of the men were dead when the camp was taken - the few still alive were removed to hospitals where all possible is being done to save their lives. / / 13 Apr. The (...) remains of what were once healthy people.
