On 15th April 1945 British Forces liberated Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp.
In July 1945 GUNNER Magazine published the harrowing account of the liberation and the relief work done by the officers and men of 113th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment. Please read 'The Heroes of Belsen' account of the liberation. Captain A Pares who was Adjutant of the 113th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment gave a personal account that can be found at the official archive of the Durham County Record Office.
Today the grounds of Bergen-Belsen remain as a place for education and a memorial for the thousands who lost their lives.
