On 23 April and 24 April 1945, the SS began to force several thousand prisoners to engage in death marches on foot and without sufficient food towards Dachau concentration camp. Hundreds of concentration camp prisoners who were unable to march were also sent by train towards the main camp. Many prisoners did not survive the day-long death marches: They died of starvation and exhaustion or were murdered by the SS.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes” border_color=”color-776133″]The camp commander said to us on the roll call square, \u201dYou will be taken to the Swiss border and exchanged for German prisoners of war.\u201d It is 24 April 1945. The Americans are not far away. That we at least know or suspect. We do not believe what the murderer says. But why should we leave the camp, where will they take us?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

A new SS troop accompanied us. At the start they continued to try to keep us in check, yet neither cursing nor kicking could force the starving prisoners into rank and file. We soon became a disorderly group stumbling slowly towards Munich, and the SS gave up trying to get us into position.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
