Nordhausen: Liberation
"Mainly from recurring typhus epidemics that ravaged war-torn
Europe during the period. Also from starvation and lack of medical
attention toward the end of the war when virtually all road and
rail transportation had been bombed out by the Allies. "
When the Allies reached the Nazi death camps in Germany, they found
the SS personnel well-fed and well-dressed, and the local
population was often not undergoing serious hardship, relatively
speaking...
This is clearly attested to in the film
footage of the liberation of the camps, where one can see the people
in
the nearby towns and villages, which the American soldiers brought
over to the camps so they can witness what happened. None of
them are starved.
