As the Allied powers (the US, Great Britain, Soviet Union and France) began to close in on Germany towards the end of the war, they began to stumble upon the concentration camps in Germany, Poland, and other nations bordering Germany. Typically, the German garrisons guarding these camps would flee before Allied forces reached them. Thus, as the Allied lines advanced, they discovered these camps, liberating those prisoners left in the camp.
