Celle massacre
The Celle massacre (euphemistically called ''"Celler Hasenjagd"'', "hare chase of Celle") was a massacre of concentration camp inmates that took place in Celle, Prussian Hanover, in the last weeks of the Second World War. Those internees of the concentration camp Salzgitter Drütte who escaped from the forced transport were pursued and beaten or shot by SS guards, Gestapo, and Nazi party officials, as well as members of the public.
==Events==
On 8 April 1945, a month before the unconditional surrender of Germany, transports from several concentration camps were hit in an airstrike. 2,862 Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, Dutch and French nationals from the Drütte camp, a subcamp to the Neuengamme concentration camp, were forced into freight cars located at the Celle yard en route to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. This transport had joined others the day before, making the total count around 4,000 men and women. On this transport, many internees died of exhaustion and malnutrition.〔 Höper, Dietrich. “8 April 1945 - Bomben auf Celle” in ''Celler Zündel,'' a monthly municipal magazine, pp. p. 15-16, issue of April 1985. Available online at http://www.celle-im-nationalsozialismus.de/Texte/Hoeper_Bomben.html.〕 The freight train carrying the internees stopped next to an ammunition train, which exploded during the air raid. In the ensuing inferno, most of the wagons carrying the internees were destroyed and a number of them lost their lives.〔 Buntes Haus e. V. “Die Celler ‘Hasenjagd’ ” in ''Flugblatt zum 60. Jahrestag des Massakers an KZ-Häftlingen'' distributed in Celle on 8 April 2005, the date of the 60th anniversary of the event; available online at http://www.celle-im-nationalsozialismus.de/Texte/buha_2005.html.〕 The surviving internees fled either into the town or westward towards the Neustadt wood with the SS troops opening fire on them. As soon as the air raid was over, the SS guards, members of the local Nazi party, Gestapo, the fire-brigade and the public pursued the fleeing internees.〔〔〔
The internees who were caught and survived were detained on the sports ground off the Neustadt wood. Some 30 persons were executed on suspicion of looting. Most of the surviving internees were marched to Bergen-Belsen, while others were detained at the army's Heide barracks. Only 487 survivors reached Bergen-Belsen on the morning of 10 April — five days before the camp’s liberation by British and Canadian forces; the remainder either died of exhaustion or were murdered on the death marches.〔〔〔
