Vandals stole a bulldozer and drove it more than a mile to demolish a part of a concentration camp before setting fire to the machine to cover their tracks.

Some 500 yards of the perimeter fence of the Langenstein-Zwieberge concentration camp were demolished, as well as the gate to the underground complex it links to.

The ten miles of tunnels were built with slave labour at the cost of thousands of lives in an effort to hide German industry from Bomber Command.
