At this German camp liberated by the British

He was at the liberation of Bergen Belsen concentration camp. "What we saw was just unbelievable," he said. There were piles of bodies as high as this roof, and a lot of people walking around like zombies, no idea what was going on at all. They were just half dead.

"They had taken a bulldozer and bulldozed the bodies into a pit. They were lying in terribly grotesque positions, arms and legs all over the place.
That's not what really got to me. It was this appalling stench. It still does stick in my gullet."
