concentration and for them maintained
throughout Germany in occupied Europe under

the not the regime. The only part covering

38
00:03:51,67 --> 00:03:56,54
a representative group of camp illustrates
the general conditions which prevailed.

39
00:04:03,52 --> 00:04:06,48
More than two hundred political
prisoners were burned to death at this

40
00:04:06,49 --> 00:04:10,93
concentration camp near likes of others
among the original total of three hundred

41
00:04:10,94 --> 00:04:14,73
fifty inmates were shot down by German
only guards as they dashed from the prison

42
00:04:14,74 --> 00:04:19,10
heights to celebrate the arrival of American
troops outside the city the atrocity

Troopers and the Gestapo agent lured two
hundred twenty starving prisoners into

45
00:04:27,86 --> 00:04:31,75
a big wooden building at this camp sprayed
the structure with an unfathomable

46
00:04:31,76 --> 00:04:36,54
liquid and then applied the torch machine
guns set up at various vantage points

47
00:04:36,72 --> 00:04:41,51
mowed down many victims who ran from the
burning building some miraculously escaped

48
00:04:41,52 --> 00:04:44,64
a hail of bullets but were
electrocuted by the live wires of

49
00:04:44,65 --> 00:04:47,84
a fence which was the final hurdle
for those fleeing the flames.

50
00:05:05,29 --> 00:05:10,26
The lives his victims were Russians Czechs
Poles and French the dead are viewed by

51
00:05:10,27 --> 00:05:12,41
Russian women liberated from slave labor.

52
00:05:20,95 --> 00:05:22,14
That tiny Germany in

53
00:05:22,15 --> 00:05:26,04
a concentration camp was overrun by the
sixth Armored Division containing mainly

54
00:05:26,05 --> 00:05:30,66
Hungary and who are people of wealth and
esteem in their native country among them

55
00:05:30,67 --> 00:05:35,24
where young girls of only sixteen years
of age the women show the scars of

56
00:05:35,25 --> 00:05:40,23
miserable existence under Nazi prison rule
American doctors examine the victims.

57
00:05:56,00 --> 00:05:57,56
Some have gangland as will.

58
00:06:07,90 --> 00:06:11,99
Others suffer from fever tuberculosis
typhus and additional communicable disease

59
00:06:12,81 --> 00:06:17,38
all existed under appalling conditions and
Burman infested quarters and with little

60
00:06:17,39 --> 00:06:21,96
or nothing to eat as soon as our troops
arrived arrangements were made to remove

61
00:06:21,97 --> 00:06:23,93
these people from the
miserable surroundings.

62
00:06:56,73 --> 00:07:00,80
Under supervision of the American Red
Cross the stricken inmates are removed to

63
00:07:00,81 --> 00:07:05,20
a hospital which belonged to the German
Air Force Nazis who formerly Mao treated

64
00:07:05,21 --> 00:07:07,82
them are forced to help
look after the patients.

65
00:07:28,32 --> 00:07:31,77
The staff of German nurses is also
forced to attend the victims.

66
00:07:44,88 --> 00:07:47,92
The women are able to smile
for the first time in years.

67
00:08:24,03 --> 00:08:28,77
At this concentration camp in the go to
area the Germans starved clubbed and burned

68
00:08:28,78 --> 00:08:32,61
to death more than four thousand political
prisoners over a period of eight months

69
00:08:32,98 --> 00:08:37,08
a few kept him survived by hiding

00:09:06,85 --> 00:09:08,08
They see the wood shed where

75
00:09:08,09 --> 00:09:11,93
a line covered bodies are stacked in
layers in the stench is overpowering.

76
00:09:31,65 --> 00:09:38,49
Former inmates demonstrate how they
were tortured by the Nazis. The.

77
00:09:47,52 --> 00:09:51,65
American congressmen invited to view the
atrocities were told by General Eisenhower

78
00:09:52,06 --> 00:09:56,47
nothing is covered up we have nothing to
conceal the barbarous treatment these

79
00:09:56,48 --> 00:10:01,12
people received in the German concentration
camps is almost unbelievable I want you

80
00:10:01,13 --> 00:10:04,22
to see for yourselves and be the
spokesman for the United States.

81
00:10:14,13 --> 00:10:17,93
The General and his party next see the
crude woodland crematory actually

82
00:10:17,94 --> 00:10:22,85
a grill made of railway tracks here the
bodies of victims were cremated charred

83
00:10:22,86 --> 00:10:24,59
remains of several inmates still

84
00:10:24,60 --> 00:10:47,18
a heap to top the grill. Another

85
00:10:47,19 --> 00:10:51,65
group to visit the order of campers
composed of local townspeople including

86
00:10:51,66 --> 00:10:54,47
prominent Nazi party members
they will be taken on

87
00:10:54,48 --> 00:10:58,58
a forced tour of the camp site by Colonel
Haydn Cedars commander of the four

88
00:10:58,59 --> 00:11:01,98
armored divisions combat command
which captured or group.

89
00:11:12,38 --> 00:11:15,57
A German medical major is compelled
to accompany the townspeople.

90
00:11:27,15 --> 00:11:31,40
Colonel Sears stands by as the Nazis are
informed that they must see all the

91
00:11:31,41 --> 00:11:32,48
horrors of the camp.

92
00:11:45,78 --> 00:11:49,97
First the visitors Buz some thirty freshly
killed bodies lying in the courtyard of

93
00:11:49,98 --> 00:11:53,49
the camp where they've been shot down the
evening preceding the entry of American

94
00:11:53,50 --> 00:11:54,04
tanks.

95
00:12:03,90 --> 00:12:08,24
These two are identified as slave labor
bosses whom are treated tortured and killed

96
00:12:08,25 --> 00:12:09,00
their workers.

97
00:12:16,15 --> 00:12:20,36
Next to the woodshed which the Nazis are
reluctant to enter but Colonel Sears

98
00:12:20,37 --> 00:12:21,23
demands that they get

99
00:12:21,24 --> 00:12:53,74
a close up look at the most
gruesome of sights. The

100
00:12:53,75 --> 00:12:54,80
labor bosses enter.

101
00:13:11,87 --> 00:13:15,44
According to reports the local Nazis
continued their tour of the camp without

102
00:13:15,45 --> 00:13:19,45
apparent emotion all denied knowledge
of what had taken place in order if.

103
00:13:25,99 --> 00:13:29,61
They are taken to the crematory two miles
outside the camp where the list to be

104
00:13:29,62 --> 00:13:34,29

00:13:38,92 --> 00:13:39,50
prisoners.

107
00:13:53,63 --> 00:13:58,05
A day before these Nazis visited the camp
the burgomeister border group was forced

108
00:13:58,06 --> 00:14:03,02
to view the horrors he and his wife were
later found dead in their home apparently

109
00:14:03,03 --> 00:14:03,82
suicides.

110
00:14:11,79 --> 00:14:13,08
American officers arrive at

111
00:14:13,09 --> 00:14:18,00
a Nazi institution seized by first Army
troops under the guise of an insane asylum

112
00:14:18,21 --> 00:14:21,33
and this has been the headquarters for
the systematic murder of thirty five

113
00:14:21,34 --> 00:14:25,31

00:15:40,13 --> 00:15:43,20
a lethal gas chamber were cremated
and their ashes interred.

place the other man entering the room as
chief Mayo nurse he admits to killing

128
00:17:40,81 --> 00:17:45,47
inmates with overdoses of morphine the
testimony of other witnesses substantiated

129
00:17:45,48 --> 00:17:48,93
the fact that morphine was issued at the
institution without attempt at making

130
00:17:48,94 --> 00:17:53,90
a record as many as seventeen at the time
died from the morphine injection the

131
00:17:53,91 --> 00:17:57,55
investigating officers were told that the
Nazis never bothered to determine whether

132
00:17:57,56 --> 00:18:02,22
a victim may have survived the overdose
Instead all were hustled off to the

133
00:18:02,23 --> 00:18:05,30
graveyard and buried in piles
of twenty to twenty four.

134
00:18:22,23 --> 00:18:27,33
The prisoners are removed to await trial
Ottomar judge told investigators that when

135
00:18:27,34 --> 00:18:31,96
the ten thousand victims died the
institution heads and Nazi officials staged

136
00:18:31,97 --> 00:18:32,65
a celebration.

137
00:18:51,81 --> 00:18:55,93
This is bringing down President in Belgium
it offers evidence of Nazi brutality

138
00:18:55,94 --> 00:18:59,37
imposed on Belgian Patriots during
the period of German occupation.

139
00:19:04,77 --> 00:19:09,01
Many of the hardships remain untouched
such as the blood stained coffins.

140
00:19:11,89 --> 00:19:15,44
Demonstrating how the victims were tied
up for administering vicious beating.

141
00:19:22,19 --> 00:19:24,84
A barbed wire stick was used
on the backs of the men.

142
00:19:34,63 --> 00:19:35,89
Another method for running

143
00:19:35,90 --> 00:19:39,17
a patriotic helpless while he was
attacked by his gestapo guards.

144
00:19:57,69 --> 00:19:59,05
And Nazis also would tire

145
00:19:59,06 --> 00:20:01,85
a man in chains in this manner
and then apply the turn to get.

146
00:20:21,52 --> 00:20:24,25
A bro in made from screw
and how it was you.

147
00:20:31,50 --> 00:20:34,59
A victim shows scars caused
by repeated beatings.

148
00:20:40,81 --> 00:20:42,17
Others show what happened to them as

149
00:20:42,18 --> 00:20:59,51
a result of both beatings
and cigarette burns. About

150
00:20:59,78 --> 00:21:03,09
demonstrates the manner in which
as crutch was split by the Nazis.

151
00:21:11,38 --> 00:21:13,17
A woman discloses the results of

152
00:21:13,18 --> 00:21:23,50
a beating. The

00:21:28,39 --> 00:21:32,61
ten months prior to April one thousand
nine hundred five only two hundred remain

155
00:21:33,22 --> 00:21:37,42
prisoners who could walk were removed
before American troops entered Hanover the

156
00:21:37,43 --> 00:21:41,50
others were left to starve and die I mean
get relief was provided by the man with

157
00:21:41,51 --> 00:21:43,32
the arrival of a Red Cross club Mobley

158
00:21:43,96 --> 00:21:48,01
a man broke into tears when they were given
hot soup either food and cigarettes and

159
00:21:48,02 --> 00:21:48,41
clothing.

160
00:22:04,70 --> 00:22:08,42
When questioned most of these men could
not remember when they'd last eaten

161
00:22:08,43 --> 00:22:12,98
a decent meal many had been beaten
tortured soul on their minds had failed.

162
00:22:35,30 --> 00:22:38,52
Some of the inmates are too weak
to leave their bunks or even eat.

163
00:22:46,51 --> 00:22:53,17
Others bunk together to keep their
frail bodies warm. The deaths

164
00:22:53,18 --> 00:22:57,82
continue even after liberation of the camp
some are too far gone when the Americans

165
00:22:57,83 --> 00:22:58,28
took over.

166
00:23:20,27 --> 00:23:20,95
And I am G.

167
00:23:20,96 --> 00:23:27,60
Sergeant checks the list of
inmates. The victims relate the

00:23:27,61 --> 00:23:31,58
atrocities story and photographs are made
for further documentation about heroes

169
00:23:31,59 --> 00:23:32,85
committed at the Hanover camp.

170
00:23:45,59 --> 00:23:49,84
The concentration camp was overrun by
American troops in April the prisoners were

171
00:23:49,85 --> 00:23:56,40
mainly Poles and Russians now treated and
starved. Savage watchdogs were used to

172
00:23:56,41 --> 00:24:03,01
help guard the can. German
civilians are forced to dig up the

173
00:24:03,02 --> 00:24:07,34
bodies this is the second burial ground
for the victims the spot where they were

174
00:24:07,35 --> 00:24:11,02
originally buried after the massacre was
apparently too close to the town the

175
00:24:11,61 --> 00:24:15,70
villagers could not tolerate the stench of
the death and they themselves moved the

176
00:24:15,71 --> 00:24:20,78
bodies to this site now they again must
examine the corpses this time under armed

177
00:24:20,79 --> 00:24:21,36
persuasion.

178
00:24:32,10 --> 00:24:34,36
Victims bear the marks of violent deaths.

179
00:24:58,08 --> 00:25:00,89
American troops view the
evidence of Nazi barbarism.

00:25:21,58 --> 00:25:25,70
The slave labor camp Nordhaus and liberated
by the third Armored Division First are

181
00:25:26,35 --> 00:25:30,11

One of our medical battalions work two
days and nights binding wounds and giving

187
00:26:15,26 --> 00:26:20,47
medication for advanced cases of starvation
and tuberculosis are often no cure

188
00:26:21,38 --> 00:26:24,92
survivors are shown being evacuated
for treatment in allied hospitals.

189
00:26:51,32 --> 00:26:55,27
The victims are mainly POWs and Russian
with considerable numbers of French and

190
00:26:55,28 --> 00:26:57,80
other nationalities also
included in the camp rosters.

hundred but with. This. This is all true
has been seen in years you know being

recorded. Again and you know in
the form of paper and uniforms

217
00:31:19,34 --> 00:31:26,07
but it was taken away from me in the
presence of one over the USA. I have

been condemned to death as another
American also in the. Course where the

evidence of the almost unprecedented crimes
perpetrated by the Nazis of the book

222
00:36:43,98 --> 00:36:48,51
involved concentration camps the story
and written form is contained in the

223
00:36:48,52 --> 00:36:52,03
official report of the prisoner of war and
displaced persons division of the United

224
00:36:52,04 --> 00:36:55,72
States Group Control Council which has
been forwarded from Supreme Allied

225
00:36:55,73 --> 00:37:00,30
headquarters to the war deprived mint in
Washington it states that one thousand

226
00:37:00,31 --> 00:37:04,35
boys under fourteen years of age are included
among the twenty thousand still alive

227
00:37:04,36 --> 00:37:09,44
at the camp but the survivors are males
only and at the recent death rate was about

228
00:37:09,52 --> 00:37:10,10
two hundred

229
00:37:10,11 --> 00:37:26,92
a day nationalities

230
00:37:26,93 --> 00:37:29,96
and prison numbers are tattooed
on the stomachs of the inmates

231
00:37:38,89 --> 00:37:43,33
The report lists the surviving inmates as
representing every European nationality

232
00:37:43,83 --> 00:37:47,45
it says the camp was founded when the
Nazi party first came into power in one

233
00:37:47,46 --> 00:37:51,15
thousand nine hundred three and has
been in continuous operation ever since

234
00:37:51,33 --> 00:37:55,50
although its largest populations date
from the beginning of the present war run

235
00:37:55,51 --> 00:37:58,26
last month with the camps normal
complement at eighty thousand

236
00:38:17,12 --> 00:38:21,84
and the official report the broken board
camp is termed an extermination factory I

237
00:38:21,85 --> 00:38:26,67
means of extermination starvation
complicated by hard work abuse beatings and

238
00:38:26,68 --> 00:38:32,15
tortures incredibly crowded sleeping
conditions and sicknesses of all types by

239
00:38:32,15 --> 00:38:36,46
these means the report continues many
tens of thousands of the best leadership

240
00:38:36,47 --> 00:38:41,10
personnel of Europe have been exterminated
bodies stacked run upon the other were

241
00:38:41,11 --> 00:38:44,22
found outside the crematory
the Nazis maintained

242
00:38:44,23 --> 00:38:47,87
a building at the camp for medical experiments
and over sections with prisoners as

243
00:38:47,88 --> 00:38:52,31

Berlin periodically to reinforce the

experimental step in particular new
toxins and to toxins were tried out on

245
00:38:57,07 --> 00:39:01,95
prisoners few who entered the experimental
buildings every marriage to live

246
00:39:11,60 --> 00:39:13,25
one of the weapons used by S.S.

247
00:39:13,26 --> 00:39:19,85
Guards. The body disposal plant

248
00:39:20,28 --> 00:39:22,87
and side are they are ones
which gave the crematorium

249
00:39:22,88 --> 00:39:28,28
a maximum disposal capacity of about four
hundred bodies per ten hour day gold for

250
00:39:28,33 --> 00:39:32,81
teeth were extracted from bodies before
incineration the ovens of extremely modern

251
00:39:32,82 --> 00:39:35,14
design and heated by Coke were made by

252
00:39:35,15 --> 00:39:39,74
a concern which customarily manufactures
banking opens the firm's name is clearly

253
00:39:39,75 --> 00:39:40,47
inscribed to

254
00:39:47,36 --> 00:39:49,97
all bodies were finally
reduced to bone ash

255
00:39:57,93 --> 00:40:01,45
twelve hundred civilians walk from the
neighboring city of Weimar to begin

256
00:40:01,46 --> 00:40:06,25
a force tour of the camp there are many
smiling faces and according to observers at

257
00:40:06,26 --> 00:40:09,90
first the Germans act as though this were
something being staged for their benefit

258
00:40:33,49 --> 00:40:36,81
one of the first things that the German
civilians see as they reached the interior

259
00:40:36,82 --> 00:40:41,20
of the camp is the parchment displayed
on a table for all to gaze upon is

260
00:40:41,21 --> 00:40:45,28
a lamp shade made of human skin
made at the request of an S.S.

261
00:40:45,29 --> 00:40:50,23
Officers why large pieces of skin have
been used for painting pictures many of an

262
00:40:50,24 --> 00:40:51,09
obscene nature

263
00:41:06,61 --> 00:41:11,20
there are two heads which have been shrunk
to one for their normal sides these and

264
00:41:11,22 --> 00:41:14,02
other exhibits of Nazi origin
are shown to the townspeople

265
00:41:37,47 --> 00:41:41,66
the camera records the changes in facial
expressions as the Weimar citizens leave

266
00:41:41,67 --> 00:41:48,55
the parchment display
the tour continues with

267
00:41:48,56 --> 00:41:53,06
a forced inspection of the camps living
quarters where the stench filth and measure

268
00:41:53,07 --> 00:41:59,95
a defied description they see the

269
00:41:59,96 --> 00:42:01,34
result of lack of care and

270
00:42:01,35 --> 00:42:15,43
a bad case of trench foot either

271
00:42:15,44 --> 00:42:19,84
evidences of horror of brutality and human
decency are shown and these people are

272
00:42:19,85 --> 00:42:22,77
compelled to see what their own
government had perpetrated

273
00:42:28,42 --> 00:42:32,69
the respondents assigned to the broken story
have given ride notice to the well fed

274
00:42:32,70 --> 00:42:33,88
well dressed appearance of

275
00:42:33,89 --> 00:42:50,65
a German civilian population
of the Weimar area. Back

276
00:42:50,66 --> 00:42:56,99
real. God you mention one of
the older the not the prison.

277
00:42:59,19 --> 00:43:04,45
It is known that the nineteen body wandered
nineteen body for up to thirty thousand

278
00:43:04,46 --> 00:43:10,16
people weren't room to go at one time.
And very volatile were present when they

279
00:43:10,55 --> 00:43:16,77
reached. The Nazis said it was a
prison for political dissenters

280
00:43:17,36 --> 00:43:19,71
a virtual criminals and religious and.

281
00:43:49,54 --> 00:43:54,19
When these scenes were filmed over sixteen
hundred priests representing many

282
00:43:54,20 --> 00:44:00,21
denominations still remained alive
they came from Germany Poland

283
00:44:00,80 --> 00:44:04,09
Czechoslovakia France and Holland

284
00:44:18,59 --> 00:44:25,45
incoming president rains arrived carrying
more dead than living. Strong enough to

285
00:44:25,46 --> 00:44:29,64
travel were brought to Dhaka from outlying
points which were threatened by the

286
00:44:29,65 --> 00:44:34,71
Allied advance this is how
they looked when they arrived

287
00:44:56,33 --> 00:45:01,76
some survived and when the rescuers arrived
they had minute did whatever they could

288
00:45:06,73 --> 00:45:08,55
others died after the liberation

289
00:45:13,99 --> 00:45:15,70
they were buried by their fellow prisoners

290
00:45:29,47 --> 00:45:34,04
as in the case of other camps townspeople
were brought into view of the dead.

291
00:45:37,51 --> 00:45:40,68
This is what the liberators
found inside the building

292
00:46:22,31 --> 00:46:26,10
hanging an orderly rolls where the crumbs
of those who had been suffocated in

293
00:46:26,11 --> 00:46:32,25
a lethal gas chamber they had been persuaded
to remove their clothing under the

294
00:46:32,26 --> 00:46:33,21
pretext of taking

295
00:46:33,22 --> 00:46:49,81
a shower for which towels
and soap were provided this

296
00:46:49,82 --> 00:46:56,65
is the browser the shower
bath and shower bath the

297
00:46:56,66 --> 00:47:03,43
gas van on the ceiling

298
00:47:03,90 --> 00:47:10,60
the dummy shower head in the engineers

299
00:47:10,61 --> 00:47:17,59
room then taken out by. The control in

300
00:47:17,60 --> 00:47:20,80
blowing out of gas. And a valve to write

301
00:47:20,81 --> 00:47:27,79
a light pressure. On it was

302
00:47:27,80 --> 00:47:34,46
used to generate the
label smoke from the gas

303
00:47:34,47 --> 00:47:37,43
chamber the bodies were
removed to the crematory

304
00:47:45,22 --> 00:47:47,48
there is what the camera crew found inside

305
00:48:19,51 --> 00:48:21,52
these other survivors.

306
00:48:55,83 --> 00:49:01,93
I am the officer commanding the regiment
of raw lottery guarding this cap.

307
00:49:05,16 --> 00:49:10,09
Has been making the ash out of
which that out about fifty dead

308
00:49:11,97 --> 00:49:18,44
up to probably offended about seventeen
thousand people and that we expect to be

309
00:49:18,52 --> 00:49:25,10
the battery about half as much
again when we carry. Conditions

310
00:49:25,39 --> 00:49:31,05
where indescribable the people
who had had no food for six days

311
00:49:32,05 --> 00:49:38,73
eating turn to cook
have now been organized

312
00:49:39,34 --> 00:49:43,68
and although they have to be
guarded so that everybody gets

313
00:49:43,69 --> 00:49:50,34
a fair share of the food
things now fairly well the

314
00:49:50,35 --> 00:49:54,94
officers and men regard this job as

315
00:49:54,95 --> 00:50:00,41
a duty that has to be performed and none
of us are likely to forget what the German

316
00:50:00,42 --> 00:50:05,88
people have done here. That
I didn't hear and found.

317
00:50:07,63 --> 00:50:12,53
Fish shape and. Don't allow
you to that woman doctor

318
00:50:12,54 --> 00:50:15,83
a concentration camp. On

319
00:50:15,84 --> 00:50:20,26
a part of April nineteen forty five and
that this is the doctor in charge of the

320
00:50:20,27 --> 00:50:25,08
female section of the concentration camp
back in Belgrade that you are the prisoner

321
00:50:25,09 --> 00:50:29,49
at this county seat and that's
my hype. And I knew some of.

322
00:50:33,94 --> 00:50:40,94
Our. Own. He says that there
were no covers drawn stacks

323
00:50:40,95 --> 00:50:46,33
or bags of any kind presents are delighted
the regular on the ground. They were

324
00:50:46,34 --> 00:50:47,35
given one twelfth of

325
00:50:47,36 --> 00:50:52,99
a lump of bread and some watery soup
daily. Almost seventy five percent of the

326
00:50:53,00 --> 00:50:59,14
people were bloated from hunger. An epidemic
of typhus broke out two hundred and

327
00:50:59,15 --> 00:51:06,08
fifty women thousands of men died
daily in the men's camp they come out

328
00:51:06,09 --> 00:51:08,11

329
00:51:08,12 --> 00:51:14,72
a dad and I. Think funding to.

330
00:51:16,37 --> 00:51:22,21
One hundred. Trying to maybe comment.

331
00:51:24,46 --> 00:51:30,63
The system in this country yeah.
That's what branches would.

332
00:51:31,72 --> 00:51:38,38
Get on trafficking big
issue. No medicines were

333
00:51:38,40 --> 00:51:45,29
available because they manage collected
every. Two days before the British

334
00:51:45,30 --> 00:51:50,23
army came the first Red Cross
food was attributed to

335
00:51:50,24 --> 00:51:54,92
a month before one hundred fifty kilograms
of chocolate had been sent to the

336
00:51:54,93 --> 00:52:01,59
children of the camp. Or distributed
around the commandant Cup for himself

337
00:52:02,24 --> 00:52:06,13
and that of barter to. Understanding.

338
00:52:09,62 --> 00:52:13,81

Then you are going on from here to
give. She added various medical

342
00:52:43,25 --> 00:52:47,67
experiments were made on the present
