#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

Modern anonymous writers in Wikipedia have renamed the camp as ''Dora-Mittelbau Concentration Camp'' in an apparent collaboration with the successful attempt to disassociate 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".
