The American soldiers were<em> astonished</em> to see the emaciated condition of the people in the Nazi concentration camps. They couldn't imagine how the people survived in an area overwhelmed by <em>diseases, corpses and lack of food and water.</em> Thousands of people were kept in this kind of brutal condition. <u>They couldn't contain the Nazi atrocities</u> and immediately started helping the victims by aiding them with food, clothing and shelter. The horrors they encountered were too overpowering and out-of-this-world. They were so enraged that they executed the German guards after the liberation.
