In May 1945, the US 71st Infantry Division liberated Gunskirchen, a subcamp of the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria. After the war, the 71st Infantry Division published a short pamphlet titled The Seventy First Came to Gunskirchen Lager. This pamphlet shared the experiences of US soldiers during the liberation of the camp.
