Before there were places like Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Sobibor, there was Dachau. Located just outside of Munich, this was the first concentration camp of the Third Reich that became the model for all of the others. In April 1945, Dachau was liberated by men of the 42nd & 45th Infantry and 20 Armored Divisions. In this episode, we're walking through to show the history behind this awful place.
Note: Whole at the religious memorials, I inadvertently said “Christian” when I meant to say “Protestant”. No harm intended. Just a miscommunication between my brain and my mouth.
