Bergen-Belsen, near Hanover in Germany, was the first concentration camp to be liberated by British troops, on 15 April 1945. When soldiers of the 2nd Army arrived they found the camp littered with dead and dying prisoners. Around 60,000 starving people, many suffering from typhus and dysentery, required immediate aid.
In 1940 Belgian and French POWâs were sent to Bergen-Belsen, and as Germany planned to invade Russia the camp was made larger to accommodate up to 20,000 Soviet POWs. Three Stalag camps were built in the area, and by the end of March 1942 more than 40,000 Soviet Union POWs had died there from starvation and disease. In 1943 Bergen-Belsen became a branch camp of Stalag XI-B and was the hospital for all the Soviet prisoners in the region.
