Army Sgt. William A. Scott was the unit photographer with the 183rd Combat Engineer Battalion in 1945 when his unit arrived with the second wave of Americans to reach Buchenwald concentration camp following its liberation. "There was no way you could describe it. I was told by some of the survivors that over 30,000 people had been killed within a two-week period, and the Germans were trying to kill all those in the camp before we got there,” he recalled.
