Scenes of horror were witnessed by the American troops as they went from building to building. Thousands of starved corpses were piled nearly to the roof awating 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 cheer madly and even climb on the roof with flags of all nations which they had made secretly as they heard the guns of the 42nd Rainbow Division getting louder and louder on the approcach to Dachau
