Outside investigators are working tryng to find places that there are just remnants of, perhaps, including places that were purposely hidden to begin with.

If you "literally could not go anywhere in Germany without running into forced labor camps, P.O.W. camps, concentration camps," then how can thousands of camps have been previously unknown to researchers and only just now turn out to have existed? Especially back in the late 1940s, would researchers and investigators have been less capable of walking around Germany and noticing these camps than they claim the locals should have been during the war? Was it a Hogwarts thing, where they were visible to Germans but not to outsiders? And, if so, why are outsiders suddenly able to see them now? I don’t get it.
