#REDIRECT [[Nordhausen Concentration Camp]]
Originally a [[Nazi concentration camps|subcamp]] of [[Buchenwald Concentration Camp]], the '''Nordhausen Concentration Camp''', so-called after its location five miles from the town center of [[Nordhausen]], [[Germany]], was a specialized slave labor camp. It became a full camp in 1944, with large underground facilities where slave labor worked on [[V-2]] missiles and other war production.<ref>{{citation

== Rewriting of history by social media ==
The [[United States of America|U.S.]] National Archives at College Park, Maryland, holds records pertaining to several World War II Nazi concentration camps: Buchenwald, Dachau, Flossenberg, Nordhausen, and Mauthausen.  The locations of these camps are what was originally used to designate them.
 
Modern anonymous writers in Wikipedia have renamed the camp as ''Dora-Mittelbau Concentration Camp'' in collaboration with the disassociation of the horrors of the camp from the modern town of Nordhausen, Germany.  This attempt has been successful, as the long Wikipedia article on Nordhausen includes only brief, slight references to the camp, and in a photo subtitle, refer to the camp as an "underground factory".
