U.S. 4th Armored Division Commander Col. Hayden Sears forces German civilians to visit the Ohrdruf Concentration Camp in German...
The liberation of the first Nazi concentration camp Ohrdruf near the end of World War II. On April 6, 1945, troops from U.S. Combat Command A, 4th Armored Division, commanded by Colonel Hayden Sears forced local town's people to tour the camp. Captured Nazi German officials get out of an army truck. A German Major (Doctor) also accompanies the group. Dead bodies on ground. Nazi officials are forced to watch heaps of bodies found inside a room. Burned bodies of Polish, Czechoslovakian, Russian, German Jews and political prisoners. The policy of requiring local German officials to view every captured concentration camp began with this episode. The rationale was the "They will never be able to say they didn't know what happened here." (Col Sears as reported by his son.)
