Buchenwald Eisenhower torture demonstration 63511

Survivors of the Ohrdruf concentration camp demonstrate torture methods used in the camp to top ranking American generals. Among those pictured are General Dwight Eisenhower, (center), General Omar Bradley (second from the left), and General George S. Patton (left). Jules Grad (far right), pool correspondent for the "Stars and Stripes," is taking notes. The mustached soldier who is pointing at the demonstrated torture victim is Alois J. Liethen of Appleton, WI, who served as the interpreter for the tour of Ohrdruf.

Original caption reads: "General Dwight D. Eisenhower, supreme allied commander, watches grimly while occupants of the German Concentration Camp at Gotha demonstrate how they were tortured by the Nazi sadists operating the camp. General "Ike" visited the camp during a tour of the Third Army Front. General Omar N. Bradley, 12th Army Group CG, and Lt. General George S. Patton, 3rd Army CG, are at the supreme commander's right."
