When British and Canadian forces advanced on Bergen-Belsen, the German Army negotiated a truce and exclusion zone around the camp to prevent the spread of typhus, which was rampant within the camp. 

When the British and Canadians finally entered the camp on 15 April 1945 they discovered thousands of unburied bodies and (including satellite camps) at least 53,000 starving and sick inmates. 

Although liberated, many inmates continued to succumb to disease and starvation.
