Towards the end of the Second World War, Ellierode was given the nickname "The Hidden Village". When the American troops moved into Bad Gandersheim in the spring of 1945, Ellierode remained undiscovered for two weeks due to its valley location surrounded by forests. The Americans only became aware of the village when a plane landed on the radiator. There were two German fighter planes. (Wikipedia)
