The facade of the former Valentin submarine factory is pictured in Bremen, Germany, on April 10, 2025. The construction of the factory began in 1943 but was halted in March 1945 after it was hit by bombings. Most of the 10,000-12,000 workers were forced laborers housed in nearby camps, including the Bremen-Farge concentration camp. Work in the bunker took place around the clock, with prisoners forced to work 12-hour shifts in dangerous conditions, resulting in a high death rate. The British captured the area in April 1945. Today, the former factory serves as a memorial. Focke Strangmann/AFP via Getty Images
