Dachau, first Nazi Concentration Camp, Germany, WW2
Oct. 5, 1945 - Dachau, Bavaria, Germany - Dachau, the most infamous Nazi concentration camp of all has been liberated by men of the 42nd Rainbow Division of the US 7th Army. Scenes of appalling horror were witnessed by the American troops as they went from building to building. Thousands of starved corpses were piled nearly to the roof awaiting cremation. Many of the prisoners immediately seized their SS torturers and killed them, throwing their bodies into the moat surrounding the camp. Picture shows prisoners lying dead in a goods wagon
