 　At the order of American soldiers, on May 17th 1945, the surviving residents of the town of Namerling, as well as German boys, were shocked to be shown the corpses of the approximately 800 victims of Nazi Germany's massacres. The corpses of prisoners from the Buchenwald concentration camp who had died during the death marches were made to be buried by the residents of the area near Namerling, who were made to dig the graves.

　　After the liberation of Buchenwald on April 11th 1945, the bodies of thousands more prisoners were discovered in places such as Ravensbrück and Dachau. In many large and small camps, the Western Allied Forces discovered a situation of Holocaust proportions that exceeded their imagination. General Eisenhower, along with General George Patton and General Omar Bradley, visited the small camp at Oldendorf near Weimar and witnessed the tragic scene on April 12th 1945. They then sent photographers to document the scene. With the Allied invasion, the massacres that took place in concentration camps became a product of a certain madness.

　　General Eisenhower, like the Russian commanders, ordered not only the Allied soldiers but also the Germans to see the massacres at Ordruf. He ordered the people of many towns to pass through the camps, including their children. The Germans were drafted to help bury the piles of dead prisoners. In Leipzig, he ordered the mayor to provide coffins to hold the bodies of 75 prisoners from the Leipzig-Mokau concentration camp. The prisoners were locked in barracks and burned alive. Prisoners who tried to escape were shot by the Hitler Youth on tanks. A funeral and burial ceremony was held at the Leipzig communal cemetery for the dead prisoners, and all the city officials were ordered to attend the ceremony, which was presided over by Christian and Jewish military chaplains. In addition, 900 other Germans came voluntarily to lay flowers on the graves. Mayor Oldorf did not get away with it, and he and his wife later committed suicide.
