Today marks 75 years since the liberation of the first Nazi concentration camp, Dachau, by US forces in the closing days of World War Two. #Dachau #Dachau75 #OTD #NeverAgain
Prior to the liberation of Dachau, Soviet troops had discovered extermination and concentration camps as early as mid-1944. British and Canadian forces entered Bergen-Belsen, in Saxony, and liberated it on the 15th of April 1945.
Dachau is significant, as I've noted in the video, as it was established just days after Hitler took power. Almost immediately, prominent socialists, dissidents and 'asocials' were rounded up for 'Schutzhaft' or 'protective custody'.
