He recalls enlisting in 1940; incidents of antisemitism in the Army; advancing through Germany in December 1944; feelings of outrage at a building in Bavaria where, he was told, Jews had been tortured; finding bodies in striped clothing on the roadside near Dachau; coming upon what he thought was a prisoner of war camp; prisoners attacking guards; and his realization it was a concentration camp. Mr. K. describes one of the camp barracks and its overwhelming stench; his feelings of anger, terror and frustration; ignorantly giving the prisoners food, which made them ill; crematoria that were still hot, surrounded by stacked corpses; and leaving with his unit after a few hours. He notes that he never spoke to other soldiers about Dachau and he attended a conference in 1981 for veterans who had liberated concentration camps. 562 |e2 copies: |b3/4 in. dub; |band 1/2 in.
