Description

On April 29, 1945, U.S. Army troops captured the Dachau concentration camp, freeing 30,000 prisoners. From interviews with former inmates and American soldiers who were there, Selzer recreated the hour-by-hour drama of the liberation. Telling what happened from the predawn military orders to take Dachau, to the execution of over 120 SS guards by a few enraged GIs and the rescue of the prisoners.
