He was found in a tiny hole in the ground just big enough for a person to lie down in, and had three guns and $750,000 with him.
There was an air vent and fan inside the hole, which suggests Saddam Hussein would have been able to stay there for long periods of time.
He was taken away by the soldiers without fighting back, and later US doctors examined him in front of the video cameras.
The doctors took a sample of his DNA and later were able to prove that he was Saddam Hussein, and not one of the many doubles he was known to use.
