Death March Executioner: SS Guard Wilhelm Dörr & Bergen-Belsen Reckoning
12m
15 April 1945. British troops liberate Bergen-Belsen and uncover scenes of unimaginable horror — 13,000 unburied bodies and nearly 60,000 starving prisoners. Among the captured SS personnel is 24-year-old Wilhelm Dörr.
Raised in Nazi Germany and shaped by the Hitler Youth, Dörr joined the Waffen-SS and served in camps including Sachsenhausen and Mittelbau-Dora, where prisoners were worked to death building V-1 and V-2 rockets. In April 1945, as the Third Reich collapsed, he led prisoners on a brutal death march toward Bergen-Belsen — executing those too weak to continue.
After the war, survivor testimony exposed his crimes. At the Belsen Trial, justice finally caught up with him.
