5-D-Day in Buchenwald by Christopher Burney
The speaker was doing Intelligence work when he was caught by the Germans. They sent him to Buchenwald Concentration Camp only five months before D-Day, but it was ten months after the Normandy landings that he first heard the Allied guns. Even then there remained two weeks during which the thousands of prisoners, of all the countries of Europe, bordering on starvation, almost despaired that the American Army would arrive in time.
