Germany's Death Marches During World War II
Death Marches took place during WWII, when the Nazi’s moved Jews out of Concentration camps when Germany’s control was decreasing quickly.In total over 100,000 Jews, Americans, and British died either of frostbite, disease, sickness, or other brutal causes in death marches. This did not only happen in Germany, Japan also contributed to this by using prisoners of war instead of jews.
Germany’s main goal in Death marches was to kill off the prisoners and make them suffer. Prisoners were forced to march long distances in bitter cold, with little or no food, water, or rest. Those who could not keep up were shot. The Nazis often killed large groups of prisoners before, during, or after marches. During one march, 7,000 Jewish prisoners, 6,000
