Lodge Moor POW camp held around 11,000 prisoners from Germany, Italy and Ukraine at its peak in 1944, but had been left to nature and disappeared underneath shrubbery and soil for decades.
Dnitz tricked his way out of the camp, researchers said, by feigning mental illness to avoid being tried as a war criminal.
"The prisoner of war camp was a very unpleasant place to stay," said Rob Johnson, who worked on the project.
