WWII Veteran Recalls The Horrific Moment Of Discovering A Nazi Concentration Camp | Remember WWII

This is the story of Bill Kongable who served in the 89th Infantry Division as a member of the anti-tank company. He went to war at 18 years of age and saw things that no one should ever see. His unit made an assault river crossing across the Rhine River in March of 1945. The Rhine River is the border of Germany and the Germans were determined to oppose and push back the Allies but thank GOD the Germans were defeated. Mr. Kongable took part in the liberation of the concentration camp Ohrdruf which was the first camp liberated by the Allies in the West in April 1945. Ohrdruf is a subcamp of the Buchenwald complex and used forces laborers to keep the German war machine going.
