SS files were removed and burnt, gas chambers burnt pre-red army overrule. Nazi SS tried to destroy all proof of what they were doing. e.g. murders torcher etc.
27th January 1945 - soviet 60th army army overruled Auschwitz.
84 days post Auschwitz liberation, the soviet army invaded Berlin.
Nazi leaders told to hide themselves within the armed forces, so that they were not found and murdered by allies.
All SS guards had their blood types tattooed underneath their arms, although not all guards had them that had previously worked in Auschwitz; so many escaped.
1) Rudolf Hoss former commandant of Auschwitz worked on a farm to protect his identity; under a different name. British arrested his wife and questioned her for 5 days, she proclaimed he was dead. on the 6th day, her son would be sent to Russia, or she could write down where her husband was and she'd go free with her son together.
2) the British army stormed the farm at 11pm that night. The British Army hit him so much he nearly died, as they obviously knew of his crimes.
Apparently he acted as a 'normal' person, had no emotion or any sense of guilt. He showed pride in his accomplishments.
3) Subsequently, he faced trial and was sentenced to death by hanging. This took place in Auschwitz.
