Description
English: Aftermath of the British bombing raid of 3 and 4 April 1945 that destroyed the Boelcke-Kaserne (Boelcke Barracks) located in the south-east of the town of Nordhausen and killed around 1300 inmates. The barracks was a subcamp of the Mittelbau-Dora Nazi concentration camp. Used as an overflow camp for sick and dying inmates from January 1945, numbers rose from a few hundred to over 6000, and the conditions saw up to 100 inmates die every day. The camp was named after Oswald Boelke.

Le baracche costituivano un sottocampo del campo di Mittelbau-Dora. Vi venivano reclusi i moribondi del campo e a partire dal gennaio del 1945 il loro numero crebbe da qualche centinaio a oltre seimila, con una mortalità che arrivava a cento persone al giorno.
