Soldiers pulling a dead SS guard from thr moat at Dachau. Around 50 guards were mudered by freed prisoners and thrown in the moat. Although it was a forced labour camp and there were no gas chambers there, brutality and violent punishments were the norm. There were 32000 documented deaths there and many thousands more undocumented. The main camp (Dachau had 100 sub-camps) was liberated by the US Army on 29th April 1945.
