Further Information

Mittelbau-Dora was a forced labour and concentration camp complex, it operated between 1943 and 1945, north of Nordhausen, near the Harz Mountains, Germany. Originally as a sub-camp of Buchenwald Concentration Camp, Dora became the main camp in a group of Buchenwald sub-camps which were merged to form an independent concentration camp complex known as Mittelbau-Dora in October 1944. V-2, and later V-1 missiles were produced in the camp complex underground following successful allied air raids on former, above ground, production sites. During the period of operation over 60,000 people were held in the camp complex and used as forced labourers. Conditions were inhumane and many people were murdered by the conditions, forced labour, and brutal treatment.
