How was Auschwitz destroyed?

No, it is now a museum. Krematorium IV was destroyed in the revolt and never rebuilt. Krematoriums II, III and V were destroyed by the Nazis before they evacuated. Krematorium I was re-modelled into an air-raid shelter. In the years since all of the wooden structures have rotted away, but the brick/stone/cement structures remain as do the remains of the destroyed krematoria.


Why did death marches occur?

As the Soviet Army approached the Auschwitz complex of camps, the SS tried to move the prisoners, on foot, westwards to Gross-Rosen. The prisoners were already weak from undernouishment and the forced march took place in the winter. Many died. (There were also death marches from other camps). Death marches is a name given to the forced movement of prisoners that resulted in high casualties along the route. Stalag IIB was evacuated and moved during the last days of the war(similiar to conditions described above). The most famous one was the transfer of the US Army prisoners captured in the Phillippines soon after the US entered the war. After their capture on the pennisular of Bataan, the Japanese marched them north to prison camps without enough food and supplies for them. Many died along the route but many others who could not keep up with the pace were shot or bayonetted. This became known as the Bataan Death March.

What were the conditions like during the soviet invasion of Poland in 1939?

The conditions in Poland were freezing. Some people froze to death. When the polish people were forced to go to the concentration camps in Siberia, it was even worse. Before they had to go to Siberia, they all made sure they were wearing as much clothes as they could so they could keep warm. But sometimes even with heaps of clothes on they still felt really cold.

Did the deaths go up in the death marches?

Yes they did. Why? Because by the time death marches came around majority of the Jews were too weak to keep moving on. They would get trampled by others who couldn't stop running or they would would be shot by the SS if they noticed them getting weak.


In April 1945 why did the death march take place?

There were several events that were called "death march". The most famous one was the Bataan Death March in 1942 on the Phillippines. Most of the death marches occurred at Prisoner of War camps in Germany. The Germans kept moving the prisoners out of reach of the advancing Russians. In late January 1945, the Stalag Luft IV in eastern Prussia evacuated approximately 6000 prisoners from the camp within sound of the Russian artillery. On 2 Feb 1945, about 4000 POWs were marched out of Stalag VIIIB(aka Stalag 344). I'm not an expert on the concentration camps but some of them may have moved prisoners. However, their main objective was to elminate the evidences of those who had died.

Site of death march?

There were many during the war. The most famous, from an American perspective, is probably the Bataan Death March, which happened in 1942 in the Philippines. Japanese soldiers forced captured American and Filipino soldiers to march 80 miles from Bataan to a prisoner camp, and hundreds (maybe even thousands) of these prisoners died due to ill treatment during the march.There were also others. For example, as the Soviets started "liberating" German occupied zones in eastern Europe, the Germans would force concentration camp prisoners to go on death marches to camps closer to Germany. The Japanese also had somewhat similar marches (besides the Bataan one). Even those who fought against the Axis Powers were not above having them- notably, in Brno, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic), thousands of Germans were forced to leave because the Czechs were upset at what the Nazis had done to them during the war.

Why do people go to war?

because some countries start international debates, and then it gets worse and then they declare war on each other to try and get more country land, and then family's each other forced to go to war and fight strangers they don't know, or they choose to go to war for their 'country. most of the time it isn't too bad, so people don't usually have to be forced to go to war., but sometimes it gets to a certain extent that people are forced by the government to go and kill strangers.
