Dachau Massacre | The INFAMOUS WAR CRIME carried out by the US in World War II 

The INFAMOUS WAR CRIME carried out by the US in World War II...?by whom?US? or U did U mean Germans?

Poetic Justice

The commanders and guards should have been buried alive. NO CRIME WAS COMMITTED TOWARD THESE EVIL ANIMALS

That wasn't a crime in my book, it was justice. They should totally on hell. Good for the Yanks I say.

It was not a crime ! To kill SS criminals in Dachau was right ! I would do it !

My great grandfather (Mexican American) was sent to Dacheau as a supplyment unit with warm clothes, food,medical equipment even tent showers for the prisoners. when it was liberated,my cousin who was more close to him explained the smell before entering the camp in which he will never forget. He said he came from a poor village in mexico but never had he seen people so skinny and weak.

my grandad was a tanky in the Coldstream Guards 21st army group he parked a tank outside belsen,told the war office too stick the service medals up there arse didnt want to remember my dad has his medals bless em never forget

My late cousin Julius Bendorf was transferred to Dachau from Auschwitz. He survived and passed away in Los Angeles so many years back. When I found him, he was 99 years old and he told me some stories regarding these horrible experiences. He has interviews posted on RU-vid. Horrible moments in history. what do I think, per the request at the end of this video? While I do not condone acts of violence of any sort, If such "war crimes" were committed, I am willing to bet they were committed out of extreme stress over what the American's observed. It twisted their sanity, this was no war crime, this was an act of stress over the total and complete evil that had consumed innocent people by the hands of the Nazi's and it was met in kind. There should have never been any energy put forth for any investigation. The American Troops acted in kind regarding such conditions they encountered while fighting a disgusting war at the doorstep of the Nazi's. I am glad my cousin was saved by the Americans, by the way.

Your dad's soul is resting now in heaven. Sorry your dad had to go through that horrible situation.

My father was part of the 20th tank battalion in the US Army that helped to liberate the Dachau concentration camp. He spoke of the horror. It was horrific. I'm glad your father was liberated

@Captain Skippy, fault them, hell, I applaud them. It's never evil to.destroy evil. Those guards killed there that day weren't men and they didn't deserve life.

@@caseyclark5392 agreed.

Great comment...I actually think that some people that say its wrong to shoot SS death camp guards dont know the truth about the SS or death camps and are possibly modern NAZI sympathizers.

American heroes destroyed evil? Ok by me.

respect to the guy

Some of the people attempting to make the U.S. soldiers seem like they committed crimes never mind the a.. holes they rightfully liquidated were part of the regime that murdered innocent men women CHILDREN assembly line like . Of course there were a few cases of murder by American GIs they were all ISOLATED incidents though.

There were "guards" and SS fighting soldiers. Both were brutal. The SS thought nothing of erasing entire towns from existence: buildings and people. My sister-in-law had an uncle who had joined the SS which was voluntary. Turned in family, friends and community members. Survived the war. Returned to the small town. No one acknowledged his existence. People would cross the street to keep their distance. His family begged him not to join the SS !!!!! Upon his death in 1980s, was buried outside the cemetery away from consecrated holy ground. His marker is probably 6" X 4". In Germany you "rent" your grave site for X amount of years. After 5 years, the family (his remaining sisters and brother) requested he be dug up, his bones ground up and disposed of. Then had a Catholic priest bless the spot he had been buried in. But from 1945 until his death, no one acknowledged him. If he went into a shop, he left his money on the counter. No interaction. He never received his hero's welcome. He had to sue to be allowed to return to the village. He died a hard core nazi.

@@delyne6860 Get your facts straight before you start wringing your hands for those murderers who executed German Guards who had arrived at the Camp only the day before and were guiltless. Does that not bring you to your senses? Always question , but there is no helping bigotry.

Absolutely. A fitting end for scum! They were tenacious soldiers, but what was committed in the camps destroyed any hope for sympathy for them. If they had ALL been gunned down, how could anyone try to blame the soldiers that had to live with those gruesome images in their minds! When the Germans were filmed executing Jewish people, the Germans were smiling and laughing! That's the face of evil and hate!

It seems you are trying to convince yourself it's not true when the Allies and Axis both did horrible things like in every major war. Who are you to tell them they're pretentious?

@@jordanwebster1728 I think the real question comes down to the motivation for pointing out US war crimes. Anyone who knows even a little about WWII knows that all parties involved committed war crimes to some extent, but why bring it up when we’re talking about the Nazis? I think there are only two reasons for why someone would do this: One, they sympathize with the Nazis, or two, they hate America. It could also be both. There’s no question that America has committed war crimes in every single conflict we’ve been involved in, but it’s come nowhere near committing genocide on entire ethnic groups. What kind of asshole would bring that up when we’re talking about Nazi death camps? So, my question to you is, which of the two groups do you fall into?

Yes It's Talibani Justice of US army

Don’t justice into your own hands!!!!!!

Honestly I don’t blame the USA soldiers for what they did the guards got what they deserved

Victorious American soldiers all see Germans as an enemy, and what would you expect if they liberate prisons?, would you expect them to be Lenient to the cruel SS Guards?

Agree.

I agree. Amazingly it is easy for these woke privilege people to judge while all they do is just be keyboard warriors.

Agreed.

Imagine still beliving this propaganda keep thinking Germany was the bad guy while your country is getting destroyed by those so called "victoms" have fun with your degeneracy, Pedophilia and liberal 1984 communism

It is a war crime. No excuse.

It wasn't a "death camp", but that didn't stop the nazis from murdering people there. They were murdering people at Dachau long before the war even started.

@@mollykeane2571 Wrong. "Over the years of its operation, from 1933 to 1945, thousands of Dachau prisoners died of disease, malnutrition and overwork. Thousands more were executed for infractions of camp rules. Starting in 1941, thousands of Soviet prisoners of war were sent to Dachau then shot to death at a nearby rifle range. In 1942, construction began at Dachau on Barrack X, a crematorium that eventually consisted of four sizeable ovens used to incinerate corpses.

@@dregga7638 that's funny to you?

@@Ragnar06 Yes, eventhough they were "hardened veterans who experienced heavy combat veterans", they still got defeated by unequipted abused and probably maleutrished German soldiers. That can mean only two things. Wanna talk about that, Dana? Or just virtue signal a little?

imagine how this weak generation would deal with the hardships of that era. the whining of the rich and overfed spoiled brats. they would turn anyone in for some food and still whine about money lost. that was the greatest generation in my opinion.

Every german attending a school (aka everyone bcuz we have no home schooling) visits a concentration camp when theyre 15-17 i dont think anyone but actual fascists and their sympathizers would call this anything but justified

It may feel like justice but it lacked judicial process so it was not justice in the legal sense of the word. If it happened it was very very understandable... but it was a war crime. Once individuals have surrendered they have legal protection of liberating forces. That is the legal position. If this did happen it was a war crime however on balance it seems reasonable that energy & resource was not expended to locate such individuals whose horror may offer extenuating circs for their actions.

@@clared1996 who tf cares about the legality of this 😂😂😂 U are tallking about one of the most terrible things humans have ever done to each other here

There are still videos of SS torch-lit marches in Kiev and what they have been doing to WW II veterans every Victory Day for years. That doesn't seem to bother anyone.

@@kathleentate8343 yo Kath,, about that Dresden thing? is who deserves revenge for that?

Having served in a warzone as a Marine and as a member of the armed forces of the United States, I am well accquainted with our training and do believe that as a rule, throughout our history, overall we have always tried to do the right thing. But make no mistake, our troop are also made of ordinary men. Flawed men that make mistake and commit crimes. Even horrific crimes. If you think U.S. troops have not raped or killed civilians in a time of war, you are completely disallusioned and mistaken. And this has been done with allies like Australia. In fact, we had one WW2 soldier training in Australia who actually ended up being a serial killer. I do not know if he was predisposed to such behavior or if he just liked killing. But either way it doesn't much matter, it still happened. In modern day conflicts Abu Grab is the largest incident the public has been informed about. And to tell the truth, to me it was disgusting. But as bad as it was, in all honesty it wasn't much more than a fraternity prank the likes of which are carried out all across America every fall. And the idea that it was horrific because it so disrespected the prisoner's religious sensibilities is actually quite laughable when they have no issues using women and children as human shields. And personally, I don't give 2 shits about the religious beliefs of such an individual. HOWEVER, because the prisoner and the people that have those same beliefs take issue with such things, we must respect that. If for no other reason than it makes it just that much easier for our pow's to be treated worse. And because I don't want to see that 19 year old PFC taken prisoner to pay for the childish or immature behavior of other US troops, I would do everything in my power to stop such things. But the acts we saw in those pictures pale in comparison to the real crime. That being that not one single officer was disciplined over it. Not one single person with any serious responsibility over those troops was made to pay for the actions of their junior soldiers. And I find THAT horrific ...

executing those Nazis is absolutely not a war crime.

There are situations in history such as this where the break down of the commitment to military disciple is inevitable. Some, by no means all, of these decent young men, after months of hardship and mortal danger, came across a situation which was beyond the scope of their humanity and military training and they converted their outrage to violence.

My father joined the US Navy in 1944 I think, at 16 years old, lying about his age as so many did. The submarine USS Stickleback was approaching their patrol station in the Sea of Japan when they dropped the atomic bombs. He said all they could imagine was that we had built a giant airplane with a giant bomb. He wasn't a hateful man, however what little darkness that was in his heart was laser beam focused on the Japanese to the point that he trained me as a child to have a bullet in my pocket for myself if capture became inevitable. Yes, I still carry one, though I hate to admit I have failed and forgot it sometimes. Then I take one out of the magazine. One day in high school after dressing out in P.E. they searched my clothing and whatever personal effects relating to a false accusation and the ex-Vietnam war Green Beret principal that absolutely hated me asked me why I had a .44 magnum cartridge in my pocket. When I looked that man in his eyes and told him the truth of it you should have seen this guy's FACE, and I meant business! Anyway, dad always told me during the cold war that it isn't the Russians we will have to worry about in the future, it would be the rise of China. Then he would start drinking and sing me old timey songs and teach me intricate Buddhist philosophy. When he finally got drunk he would get off into stories relating to war as he cried. For hours on and off over and over. The worst thing he did was try to make me hate and distrust the Japanese, except at that he failed as my heart was already filled with love from the Buddhist teachings. When my two 17 year old sons went to live in Japan for three months at a time training martial arts Judo I once felt in a worldly way a twinge of guilt as I imagined him rolling over in his grave. Then I looked at him inside my self or into the void whatever and I saw clearly he was way past all that and such. The end (so far...) Cheers!

So they are still trying to cover up this atrocity. Belgium waffen SS troops were pulled off the front line and sent to Dachau to relieve the troops who had been in control of the camp, This was a way of getting them out of the war that was lost already, they were still in their battle fatigues and they bought their battle wounded with them and installed them in Dachau's hospital. The inmates of that camp were in bad condition but not bad enough to stop them committing atrocities on the surrendered soldiers latter on. The inmates in Dachau and many other camps were malnourished because we had delibertly destroyed Germany's infrastructure with years of relentless bombing. So these noble liberating Americans machine gunned to death 500 Belgium soldiers who had almost nothing to do with that camp until the last days and whose job it was to hand it over to he Americans, these brave noble Americans even dragged the wounded Belgium soldiers from their hospital beds and machine gunned them as well. They also allowed the liberated prisoners to commit atrocities on some of the surviving Belgium soldiers whom the noble Americans had excepted the surrender of. Never believe an official American News Real and anything on an American tel-lie-vision. Americans have been at war continuously for over 80 years somewhere in the world and continuously committing atrocities every step of the way and covering it all up with a mountain of lies. Thats just what they do.

Being very well informed about ww2,my father having served the u.s.army, this story has been well known for decades. How many s s were killed is immaterial. They got what they deserved and who can argue that.what rules did the nazis follow ?

Happened quite often on the Eastern Front

I will ask these very brave Americans one question which nobody ever asked them. If it was the other way around and the Germans were coming from the Atlantic side and the Japanese from the Pacific, and America was losing badly, and food shortage was such that Americans were starving; would have American Guards from the Japanese concentration camps, have shared their food with the prisoners???........or would have been exactly the same situation??? I want to see an American brave enough to answer my question.

@@ravenalbj Did the Americans go out of their way to capture Japanese from neighbouring countries, for years and years? Hardly analogous.

@@kennedysan1045 You people are incredible. You are so indoctrinated that you cannot hold on to a subject that is outside the indoctrinated circle. The subject is the crime committed by American soldiers at Dachau. The very title of the video is extremely manipulating. It is not about the crimes commited by the American soldiers, it is about kipping the same hate against Germans going to no end. I came up with reversing the situation in order to show that any soldiers would have done exactly the same thing as the Germans did in that situation. They were soldiers. They were ordered to guard the camp and they had to obey. I know, that is too much for indoctrinated people to understand. What is your answer to my trying to make you think???........here it is; "Did the Americans go out of their way to capture Japanese from neighbouring countries, for years and years?"......where the hell is your analogy??? xxxx I will point to you another indoctrination. 40 million people were killed by the communists during their "paradise on earth" period. Do you know a single communist that was on trial for those crimes???.......not a single one.......why??? Do you hear anything about the disaster the communism was???.....nothing.....why??? As you can see the bad Nazis are still indoctrinated in your head with this very video. Did you ever see something similar showing the crimes of the communists??? Was there a Nurenberg trial for the crimes comited by the communists??? Now the communists are taking over America disguised as liberals/progressives, and you idiots call them Fascists. You don't know who your enemy is, because it is in disguise, and you are constantly indoctrinated. You provide cover for the communists which will kill you, by calling them Fascists, and yo have no idea what you are doing to yourself and your country. In 20 years America will not exist anymore. It will be "Peoples Republic of United States". All that being the result of the indoctrination which created a nation of zombies.

@@ravenalbj i am not american but i can attest to you that american patriotism is like a whole new race theory. The amount of war crimes usa has commited in the name of patriotism in foreign countries only...... and their silence regarding those war crimes!!!! We all know the answer.

@@ravenalbj Bad analogy, this captured people was German of Jewish religion. Or you mean Protestants can put Catholics in the concentration camp for their believe?

Filing a sear does not convert to full auto. The hammer follows the bolt home and doesn't have enough inertia to hit the primer hard enough. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a bullsh1t artist.

But I do agree with the kid shooting guards in retribution. No qualms at all. (M2 carbine may have been used)

Hey, Paul. My dad was also in the 84th. I only recently learned the 84th helped liberate one or more of the concentration camps. Dad was a medic, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he treated some of the poor survivors. He seldom talked about his experiences and never mentioned the camps, which is perfectly understandable. Anyone who criticizes GIs for killing SS guards is either mentally ill, anti-American or lives in a fantasy world. If those evil guards didn’t deserve death then no one has ever deserved it.

@@Demaenetus I'll go further and speculate that such sympathy for SS troops is an indication that they're also servants of Lucifer.

My arse they don`t,

They sure as all hell did , they metted a little bit of justice to hell who wanted to accuse these soldiers . They did what needed to get done .

Pointing out the hypocrisy of yanks triggers them. Still in denial you're doing the filrhy work for your overlords?

Not to be a Nazi sympathizer......but the soldiers who were at the camp...weren't the original soldiers who were original there....when the original commander ran away..most if not all ,HIS troops also ran away...and the new commander who was told to go to that camp and turn it over to the Americans..had to get some young soldiers to come to the camp and help in the control and the turn over OF THE CAMP to the Americans.....so to kill the commander and the new young German soldier...( WHO BY THE WAY HAD ALL GIVEN UP THEIR ARMS AND HAD SURRENDER) .if you ask me WAS A CRIME..and to prove my point...why did the US government hide this act for so many years.....BECAUSE THEY KNEW IT WAS WRONG AND A CRIME

American soldiers did what needed to happen it should have happened at every single center where these sorry mfers. Destroyed human beings assembly line style of completely INNOCENT men women children especially CHILDREN to the tune of 12 million human beings . What these SCUM did to the good Jewish, gypsy etc. Homosexuals even though half of Ernst Röhm's giant organization the SA were gay and other people's from all over Europe , all this was so catastrophic to the entire world it coined a phrase that will forever be spoken in same sentence with nazi f..... g germany . The American soldiers at that particular center of extermination of humans did what any man would have done . SEMPER FI to every one of those American soldiers.

What? "The American soldiers did an outstanding job!" Outstanding Job? Well... Look here: 1893 - US Troops in Hawaii, and invasion of China (Massacre): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nrznzpZKyCM.html. In Vietnam: My Lai, Hue, Dá Nang, etc. (Genocide). In the Philippines (1901-1906-1909-1912). The Colombian Massacre (1902 and again in 1928). "Wars of the Banana Republics", in Central America and the Caribbean. (Massacre from 1912 to 1937). In Bosnia (1995)... In Palestine, Libya, Lebanon, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, in Kosovo, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, in Afghanistan, etc. Yup... "Outstanding Job!" So... "What crime?"

How come they call it a crime? Those SS guards don’t deserve human rights after killing so many children, women, and men.

@@kyle4563 Just because by law, that’s what they are. They deserved to be killed like dogs though.

Every One off those Murderous German Soldiers should have been lined up against the Wall and Put to Death without Mercy ! The Murderous Evil that they committed against innocent Human Beings ( Men and especially against Women and Children) of whom they Showed no Mercy aught to have been done to Every last German Soldier and Officer to the last one , Put to Death for their Horrid Crimes against Humanity 🔥👺👹

No crime they should have all got it.

No, it was in fact a crime.

More war crimes of the winners! There is no honor among killing the enemy after the war is over, more Germans died after surrendering- this is bullshit! I only have justice for the history books, and you would not like it! These President need to be impeached- historically and only referred to by the number and removed from all naming of ships and or memorial sites! I hate most of my presidents, from what I have found out since world war 2 , with the exception of Kennedy and Carter. They are all bad and worthless!!

the victims should have taken revenge, that would have been appropriate .

@@lunafringe10 often far too weak and dying from hunger and infectious diseases to do anything...

Underated comment and it's still going on now. Look at all the pedos like the Clintons, Bidens and other politicians on both sides that went to Epstein island! Not a single person has been prosecuted

Same in every war, I've saw it happen in Afghanistan and Iraq sadly where we claimed they were squirters or were spotting for the Taliban. You'd be surprised how quickly good boys from the first world turn into cold cruel killers. Ain't war hell? Then the officers above cover for you because their careers are the ones on the line been commissioned officers

And what about if one of the guard's was your son?

What about due process, which is one of the modern judicial system? You think a soldier should be judge and executor at the same time? So why bother having judges at all? Oh right, the US don't care about it when they perform war crimes. It's only bad if anyone else does it.

Soldiers driven by emotions, that is just horseshit. Soldiers are acting on orders. The video does not even say anything about the events. Why did that not happen in all the camps? Why not any crime was prosecuted? Why did they rebuilt the camp? I prefer facts, not random emotions. Give us the whole story. Who did what?

@@wolfgangpagel6989 As is always the case, the winner writes the history-books. They are never really correct.

@@Arsenic71 Now the intention is to make a claim.

Maybe so. Perhaps you are correct. But it still doesn't justify our crimes.

@@trombone113 I can't express how horrifying it is to know there are people who justify war crimes with another. I totally agree with you, mate.

Another example of what the Holy Bible says about the true condition of all humanity, and one of us who has the same potential in hearts to do the same thing! look back at all off recorded history and ponder why the Holy Bible says we are all condemned.Then read what it says about humanities only hope!

the japanese soldiers who were defeated on multiple pacific islands along with the thousands of japanese sailors who went to the bottom of the pacific served to even the score pretty well.also many japanese cities were bombed including heroshima and nagasaki.many of their war criminal generals comitted suicide;better than trials.

@@lowellbrown206 well I grew up trained in the Holy Bible yet I still cannot understand how it is that we are condemned since our first mom and dad never killed or murdered anyone. Actually it was Cain that murdered and it is a good chance he was not even Adam's seed. The Bible speaks of two seeds one from the woman presumabley Adam the other from the snake, Satan. Later the Bible tells us Abel was righteous (Apostle Paul in his letter to the Hebrews) So yes, where is all this murder, death and destruction coming from in the first place?, to me it does not seem like it is coming from Adam. If we are condemned it is a hell of a price to pay for the mistake of disobedience, my point is Adam & Eve were not guilty of blood - Cain was guilty of blood.

Japan's Unit 731 was just as bad if not worse ? Operation paper clip we got all NAZI rocket, missile tech and all the Scientist , Same happened with Unit 731 the U.S. took all that data on Bio weapons and research then let all the guards and Doctors go free . NASA and the CDC both got heir start just after the War .

Wrong on many counts. First from Normandy to the Surrender if Germany was just shy of one year. And many Japanese were tried for war crimes after the wor. And not just by the US. Some were executed! More then 900 were executed.

wait, they were germans foremost, not just Nazis Nazism and racism was their game and still is.

Remember that the allies caused all that too because they bomb now that Campton people or Mount nutrition starving no medical and lack of food from the war and even the Jewish doctor said that was the main cause of all that stuff but it was horrible you should seen about what happened to the US prisoners in Japan were held

One person can never be judge, jury, and executioner. Murder is murder, it does not matter who killed who.

@@SlavaSlavenima not in war.

@@lunafringe10 what difference did it make they were still nazis

When my niece and I visited Munich in 2015 she wanted to visit Dachau. I told her we didn't go on vacation to be depressed.

@@ColKorn1965 it WAS depressing. Oppressive. I couldn’t wait to leave. There really wasn’t even that much to see, and it wasn’t high up on my list of places to go to, I was there with a friend who had been there before, and it was her idea, she wanted me to see it. I remember our German host, he was so annoyed that we wanted to go there at all, and more annoyed to have to come with us. He told me that German schoolchildren are dragged to these camps for school “trips” and it was constantly pounded into their heads “look what we did - bad, bad Germans”…..that’s how he put it to me in his broken English, anyway. Not sure if this is the experience of other Germans, but here he was, a grown man, and he was still angry about it. Anyway, Bavaria was so pretty and clean, lots of charming and interesting places to visit. I suppose I’m glad I saw it, for the experience, but if I went back, I don’t think I’d want to visit it again or see any of the other camps.

@@geslinam9703 No nation wants to face the bad things their forefathers did. A lot of American slaver activities are simply not discussed in some circles.

@@geslinam9703 well this was your introduction into man's inhumanity to man. Sorry it distracted you from your vacation but that is disrespectful to all the soldiers who fought that war in order to purge evil from our midst. Once again sorry it upset you. I will remember that when I light a candle for the millions of innocent people slaughtered by a nation and it's cohorts in a continental genocide.

@@ColKorn1965 Visiting Dachau would be anything but a vacation.

Killers...lol

I would have done the same.

The British where the first to set up concentration camps in the Boar war resulting in the deaths of over 25000 white people , black people also died but their numbers where not recorded as the British thought them worthless! I wonder if you feel the British soldiers guarding that camp should have been executed? 🤔

Great lie for attention in a comment section

@John Samms thanks for the comment...with the failure of post war Getmany to agressively prosecute and Nuremburg only going after the top tier...Im glad the boys "expressed" there own personal judgement back to the SS as much as the SS dished it out to helpless people that were just oven food to them.
