April 11 marked the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp, located in central Germany.

WWII veteran and liberator Ernest James recalls seeing the camp in 1945.

In early April 1945, Nazis began to evacuate prisoners from the camp, sending them on death marches to Bergen-Belsen. When soldiers arrived, there were very few prisoners left.
