Minnesota Spy Club<p>80 years ago today:</p><p>April 15: Bergen-Belsen concentration camp was liberated by the British 11th Armored Division on this date in 1945. The first two Allied soldiers to reach the camp were a British SAS officer, Lt. John Randall, & his jeep driver, who were on a reconnaissance mission & discovered the camp by chance. Some 60,000 ill and half starved prisoners were initially liberated though 13,994 of those subsequently died. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/WW2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WW2</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/SAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SAS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Holocaust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Holocaust</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergen-Belsen_concentration_camp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergen-B</span><span class="invisible">elsen_concentration_camp</span></a></p>
