The Liberation of KZ Dachau

REMEMBER: Censorship was a cornerstone of National Socialism and I might add Communism which led to the deaths of so many millions around the globe.

On the morning of April 29, 1945 the US Army liberated a Konzentrations Lager (KZ) (concentration camp) outside the town of Dachau, Germany. Not far from Munich, the birthplace of Adolph Hitlers version of National Socialism.

Men of the 45th "Thunderbird" Division were the first to enter the camp.

The story they tell is still vivid in their minds almost 50 years later when these interviews were conducted in the fall of 1988.

The men in this documentary are all gone now.

May we never forget them, the war that killed so many and most of all the camps and what they represented.

April 29, 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of that liberation.

The introduction to this program is called Dachau Concentration Camp, a short newsreel film produced by the US Army Signal Corp shortly after it's liberation.
