Actually, the Germans surrendered the camp to the British. Since it was the first of the camps to be liberated, it was quickly the focus of allied reporters, photographers, news cameras, visiting allied bigwigs. It helped that the Germans and the British agreed that there would be no fighting in the area, and some bridges were not destroyed by the Germans.

Try the National Army Museum in Chelsea http://www.national-army-museum.ac.uk - they store all the records of former camps etc.

Yes, this is true.  They are moving the remaining prisoners there to another prison.  It's due to the media involvement and the actions of the military at that particular place.

OK, you made the suggestion to research this - and, following a similar question awhile back, I did.\n\nFirst, my conclusion: This is just another example of a paranoid extremest logic:\n\nExample of this logic:\nThe Nazis had concentration death camps.\nThe Americans had concentration camps.\nTherefore, the Americans have concentration death camps.\n\nNo faulty logic there.\n\nI checked out several sources. You say "800 prisons," "Abovetopsecret.com" says 600, and "Rotton.com" doesn't even venture a guess - but both are ardent backers of your contention.\n\n"Blogcritics.org" talks of a $385 million appropriation made during the Clinton Administration to set up camps as safe havens for disaster victims in case of a national emergency or epidemic. (so much for the Bush conspiracy to house dissidents.) \nSoon after this appropriation, it became apparent to the conspiracy theorists that any federal land, especially if unused and with a fence around it, was essentially now a concentration camp. \nThis included Area 51, old and abandoned WWII relocation camps, closed down military bases and so on.\n\nThere is no factual basis for any of the conclusions that these areas are anything more than just areas that could be used by the victims in the event of a national disaster - flood, avian flu or other epidemic and so on.\n\nAdditional note - a lot of the web sites resulting from "concentration or prison camp" searches also had links to "9/11" "Kennedy Assasination" "Moon Landing" and the like. \n\nNo red flag there if you're looking for valid facts, eh?

I have, it was in 1985.  My last time there was in 2001 though.  It is a small military post on the top of a hill outside of Oijongbu.  Yes, that's right, Oijongbu, you know, the village they talk about on MASH.  By the way, a little bit of trivia for you, there actually was a MASH unit stationed outside of Oujongbu, it just wasn't the 4033 MASH.  When I was there it was the base camp for the 2nd Infantry Division Field Artillery Battalion.  Go out one gate and you had a Korean prison and the road to Oijongbu, go out the other and you had the bars and stores and restaurants, along with a little village.  Since it was downhill going out either gate, after a night of drinking in the village, it was rough going back up the hill towards base.  Anything esle you want to know, just ask.

Jordan2285, \nTry to look up "Sobibor." Sobibor was a Nazi Death Camp on the Eastern edges of Poland by the Russian Border.\nYou may be familiar with the "Treblinka" Death Camp but there was another concentration camp by the Polish Russian border;  I however cannot remember the name of the other camp.\nIn October of 1943, Sobibor had a working Jewish residency of approximately 600 or more prisoners.  The people that were sent to Sobibor would be instantly gassed and burned.  The 600 or more prisoner residents of Sobibor are the only group under Nazi control who all escaped from the camp.\nOf the 600 only 300 survived the escape and several of the original group may still be alive today.\nThis is a great story of which not many of us are familiar with or had heard of before.\nI am sure that any composition containing elaborate presentation concerning this topic would get you a very good grade.
