On the 22nd and 23rd of April, 1945 Soviet and Polish troops reached the main camp at Sachsenhausen. There they found around 3,400 prisoners, most of them ill. At least 300 of these had suffered so badly from their imprisonment that even intensive medical care could not save their lives. Most of the 33,000 inmates who had been taken on the “death march” were liberated by Allied forces in the first few days of May.
