Concentration camp

In 2005, British newspaper The Guardian published an article based on recently released Scotland Yard documents, that Britain had run a torture centre in Bad Nenndorf.

This was run by a War Office department called the Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre (CSDIC).

From 1945 - 1947 the centre was used to interrogate German prisoners, many of them communists, allegedly using physical maltreatment and intentional malnutrition.

The NDR reported on British post-war activities in Bad Nenndorf. In Great Britain The Guardian provocatively showed pictures of allegedly emaciated German prisoners.

The Guardian (regarding torturing German Communists) wrote: Harrowing photographs of young men who had survived being systematically starved, as well as beaten, deprived of sleep and exposed to extreme cold, were considered too shocking to be seen.

Meanwhile German politicians demanded an apology from Britain. The German newspaper Die Zeit claimed that there were other concentration camps such as Bad Nenndorf, but provided no proof to this charge.
