By April 1945, Buchenwald’s underground resistance had spent months preparing for the possibility of defending the camp. 👀 Resistance groups gathered information, coordinated plans, and secretly obtained weapons. ✊ On April 11, the International Camp Committee mobilized these groups as the SS began withdrawing. 🔥 Armed prisoners then took control of key areas and captured remaining SS personnel as American forces approached. 🕊️ The documented preparation shows how organization and cooperation shaped the final hours before liberation.
