Massacre of SS guards at Dachau

[Geoff Walden]

Hi Keir,
It was one of those things that you have to sort of luck into ... knowing someone, who knows someone, who knows someone ... that sort of thing. I've wanted to get inside there for years, and finally got to. I was not allowed to use every scene I took, but I did have permission to use these. Although, I have seen postings online where the Polizei have obviously had open house days for the public there recently, and from looking at the photos posted, it appears that they let people take whatever photos they wanted. But maybe that resulted in the FB issue, I don't know. I didn't use my photos on FB ...

What are some good books on this event?

I have researched this matter for a Long time, the thing that surprise me is today that the official nr of the death of SS men is between 30-50 men, but the official Numbers of those who became MIA in Dachau April 1945 is more than 200 SS men.
The two last years there have been New accounts from US soldiers who after their death their story been published by their relatives.

I have om My Blog published the men who became MIAs as member of the SS-T.-Stuba "Dachau" 99 men, I Will soon publish the men who was Cadets (SS-Junkers) of the SS-Verwaltungs Schule Dachau also plus other units and men who last message to relatives was from Dachau in 1945.

Om topp of that have the Gedenkstätte a lot of names of known soldiers who got killed on the Day of the liberation. So to me it's Very strange that the official Numbers Still is only 30-50 killed.

Best regards
Georg

A photo of SS-Mann dead inside the 'Death Train' carriage at Dachau. He is seemingly piled over an another SS-Mann.

Is he one of the four SS-Soldiers shot by Lt. Walsh on April 29th 1945?

The well known picture of 2 Inmates and SS Guard...Could he have been a KApo?

[Totenkomf]

The photos in total feature around 13+ Dead SS Men. Plus some of them are without their boots and some with their pants pulled a bit down. Looting by inmates for better Footwear?
