Re: Dachau Trip
Great pics Ben,,,I like the Zeppelin field but strange to see buildings in the back ground of it,, but its good to see the podium is till intact. That must be a chilling feeling to stand in the same spot as Hitler did. Regards Larry

Re: Dachau Trip
There is some controversy surrounding the Dachau gas chamber as shown to tourists today, elements of which may have be reconstructed post war, and whether it was ever used to murder prisoners of Dachau. Chilling photos regardless.by Ben Evans

Re: Dachau Trip
Whether true or not they said on the tour it was used in the later part of the war, Dachau was not an extermination camp apparently but they had plans to use it as one eventually. If this is true or not I do not know, just going by what we were told there

Re: Dachau Trip
The Post-war Polish guard company (former Holy Cross Mountain Brigade) at Dachau was implicated in helping Skorzeny assist SS prisoners awaiting war trial to escape from the camp.

Re: Dachau Trip
Today, April 29th 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.
Link to an article featuring colour images and footage of the camp, taken during the liberation.

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.
