Re: Dachau Concentration Camp.
Cheers Adrian a very interesting thread, I have visited a couple of camps in my time, Belsen & Auschwitz..Auschwitz was alittle different I went with the Army at the time & we were all made to wear shirts & ties..Our guide for the day was very interesting with his information. But 1 thing that stood out on the day is he wasnt happy & refused to guide German people around the camp.. So thanks Adrian for the thread excellent snaps too.Cheers Terry.
Re: Dachau Concentration Camp.
Today, the 29th April 2013 marks the 68th anniversary of the liberation of Konzentrationslager Dachau. A number of sub-camps, including Kaufering-IV Hurlach, were also liberated on the same day.

69 years ago today, KZ-Dachau was liberated. American forces entered the main camp complex for the first time, ending the longest period for which any of the major concentration camps existed - over 12 years. For many, the liberation came too late - it is estimated a minimum of 30,000 died within the Dachau system, yet for the tens of thousands present when the camp was eventually liberated, an end to their torment had come at last.
70 years ago today, the major camp near Munich was liberated by US forces.
