The Celle massacre (euphemistically called "Celler Hasenjagd", "hare chase of Celle") was a massacre of concentration camp inmates that took place in Celle, Prussian Hanover, in the last weeks of the Second World War. Those internees of the concentration camp Salzgitter Drütte who escaped from the forced transport were pursued and beaten or shot by SS guards, Gestapo, and Nazi party officials, as well as members of the public.
