Seventh Army: Dachau 1933-1945, will stand for all time as one of
history's most gruesome symbols of inhumanity. There our troops
found sights, sounds and stenches horrible beyond belief, cruelties
so enormous as to be incomprehensible to the normal mind. Dachau
and death were synonymous. No words or pictures can carry the full
impact of these unbelievable scenes but this report presents some
of the outstanding facts and photographs in order to emphasize the
type of crime which elements of the SS committed thousands of times
a day, to remind us of the ghastly capabilities of certain classes
of men, to strengthen our determination that they and their works
shall vanish from the earth. The sections comprising this report
were prepared by the agencies indicated. They remain substantially
as they were originally submitted in the belief that to consolidate
this material in a single literary style would seriously weaken its
realism. 31 photos.
