Video: 'Nordhausen concentration camp victims, Germany. HD Stock Footage'

(Wednesday, April 11, 1945; part of The Holocaust during World War II) — The Nazi concentration camp Mittelbau-Dora (also Dora-Mittelbau and Nordhausen-Dora) near Nordhausen in Thuringia, Germany, which supplied labor for extending the nearby tunnels in the Kohnstein and for manufacturing the V-2 rocket and the V-1 flying bomb, was liberated today by U.S. troops.

Around one in three of the roughly 60,000 prisoners who were sent to Mittelbau since it was established in late summer 1943 as a subcamp of Buchenwald concentration camp did not survive.
