Timberwolf415B - Page: 10 of 10 I have posted my research on "The Jewish Presence in Mittelbau Dora" not to diminish the history of the tens of thousands of non-Jews who suffered and died in this dreadful complex, but to ensure that the Jewish presence in the Mittelbau Dora complex is not forgotten. In Andre Sellier's book, A History of the Dora Camp, Francois Heumann describes the torture they had to endure on the way back to their barracks: "Inside the camp, the Jewish barracks was specially surrounded by barbed wire; we walked beside them when we came back from work at night. Many of them were sent to work in Dora-Ellrich, where they died in agony from the most brutal working conditions. www.johngalione.com /timberwolf415b010.htm

Mittelbau Mittelbau was an underground factory near Dora-Mordhausen dedicated to Nazi rocket constuction. In November of 1943 the "Mittlewerk" company was founded and orders for the assembly-line production of the rockets started being filled. The begining of April 1945 the camp was evacuated with a death toll of over 20,000 workers. www.bsu.edu /classes/prince/eng101/Night/Map/mittelbau.htm

Leon B. Poullada: Major Poullada's final defense plea in the Nordhausen-Dora concentration camp case Coming then first to the topic of the nature and the problems of the operation of a concentration camp such as Dora, I believe it is pertinent to discuss briefly some basic misconceptions which War Crimes courts have indulged in the past in considering these concentration camp cases. Secondly, I will discuss the organization and background of Dora itself and of Mittelwerke, without appreciation of which it is not possible for this court to arrive at a just decision. Now as to whether or not the executions which were ordered for Dora were legal or not legal it is not difficult for us to say. www.vho.org /GB/Journals/JHR/11/1/Poullada81-119.html

H-Net Review: Michael Petersen on A History of the Dora Camp: The Untold Story of the Nazi Slave Labor Camp that Secretly Manufactured V-2 Rockets For example, in his discussion about the complicity of civilians in the structure of oppression at Dora, Sellier notes that "to go further in placing liability, it would be necessary to have all the messages, instructions, minutes of meetings, and reports exchanged in all directions between those concerned.... He indicates that the death rate at Dora and in the underground factory, where a degree of skill and training was necessary to carry out the work, steadied and even declined from May 1944 through January 1945. First, Sellier himself was a prisoner in Dora in 1944-45, working at the relatively safe and comfortable task of electrical quality control in the tunnel factory of Mittelwerk. www.h-net.org /reviews/showrev.cgi?path=16661084640133

Art of Ulrich Wagner - Ground-Plans of Concentration Camps "Dora" became an independent concentration camp named "Mittelbau", which became operative on 1 October 1944. "As a result of the bombing of the Military Research Institute for the development of international rockets in Peenemünde, the camp "Dora" at Nordhausen (Harz) was set up in August 1943. The inmates of the concentration-camp were interned in galleries dug out of the mountain Kohnstein. www.ulrichwagner.net /concentration.htm

Mittelwerk/Dora Later a camp was built adjacent to the tunnel entrances on the southern side of the Kohnstein; this was code-named "Dora" (also called "Mittelbau"). Dora eventually became one of the largest labor camps in Germany, and the Mittelwerk eventually produced V-2 rockets, V-1 "flying bombs," and jet engines for Me 262 and Ar 234 aircraft. The drive leading off to the right goes to the entrance to Tunnel B.

Memorial Mittelbau-Dora B) The learning and documentation center which is to be built is conceived as a perception apparatus which formulates a connection of views between the prisoner camp Mittelbau-Dora, the mine entrances, and the city of Nordhausen. This simple measure will clarify the entire system of the former "MittelwerkeÓ and its interlinking with the surroundings, thus resolving the problematic limitation of content to the camp Mittelbau-Dora. On the approach to Dora, the overlapping of the bands of gravel with the camp street at the entrance to the former concentration camp forms a clearly perceptible threshold, even for drivers. www.oswalt.de /en/projects/dora/page_txt.html

Deutsches Museum - Sonderausstellungen - Bilder aus Dora The code name "Mittelbau" ("middle works") was used for the factory and the surrounding complex and "Dora" for the concentration camp located directly at the south entrance to the tunnel system.

V2ROCKET.COM - Mittelwerk / DORA Dora was the name given to the Buchenwald sub camp (which became independent about November 1st as “KZ Mittelbau”) that was set up within the tunnels for the laborers.

Nordhausen Revisited In the first session of the conference we met many of the thirty-five survivors of the Dora camps. After the conference I met survivor Yves Beon, author of "Planet Dora", an amazing collection of stories of survivors. He said, in relation to the work camps -- "This is what Hell must be like!" As we listened to these survivors, there were many emotional highlights. math.scu.edu /~ffarris/ragene/nordhausen.html

Buchenwald -- Legend and reality The authoritative Intemational Tracing Service of Arolsen, an affiliate of the Intemational Red Cross, stated in 1984 that the number of documented deaths (of both Jews and non-Jews) at Buchenwald was 20,671, with another 7,463 for Dora (Mittelbau). The most important of these was probably the Dora underground plant, which produced V-2 missiles. While even these lower figures are regrettably high, it is important to realize that the great majority of those who died at Buchenwald were unfortunate victims of a catastrophic war, not Germany policy. www.ihr.org /jhr/v07/v07p405_Weber.html

Flight Patterns The San Diego Union-Tribune Chief among the German scientists sanitized for the U.S. space program was Wernher von Braun, described by Lord as an "oily ex-Nazi" who had produced Germany's destructive V-2 rockets using slave labor from the SS Mittelbau Dora death camp. A taint of socialism brought the kiss of death, but a record of genocide was easily expunged, as evidenced by the recruitment of Nazi war criminals for the sordid Project Paperclip. While Malina was persecuted, von Braun was lionized on TV by Walt Disney and later served as director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. www.signonsandiego.com /uniontrib/20050123/news_lz1v23flight.html

Mittelbau-Dora The slave labor camps throughout the area of Mittelbau-Dora are usually known as the Mittelwerke, or “central works.”) There in dark underground tunnels, slaves created the V-2 rockets that caused well over 5 000 deaths in London and Antwerp.
