The Killing Grounds of Dachau | History Traveler Episode 270

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ม.ค. 2023
- The concentration camp at Dachau was a place of unspeakable horrors. And while the camp did have a gas chamber that was built there, it never went into operation. Much of the killing that took place at Dachau was in a field just north of the main camp.

You should look into Private John M Galione. An Italian immigrant to the US who joined the army and helped find and liberate two camps. I know his daughter and she wrote two books about his life and finding them. Mary Nahas is her name.
It’s important we NEVER forget these horrible
Atrocities that were committed. Thank you JD for all you do
Agreed. Thank you.
Awhile ago I repented to God then begged for help, "I was until then an Atheist."
I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed.", and what I felt from Jesus when I held him was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of Love every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life, forever.
I've had other experiences since, "Several witnessed", one was seeing a bright orb of light pass across my face in the dark, hours before a major surgery the second I gave up in my heart.
Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they Love us deeply. Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you Love them.
Always have hope, I believe that prayer, following God's laws & Love is the answer, and through that, becoming humble, merciful, welcoming, giving, and forgiving, To All.
Pity he's not making videos of American history and atrocities. He's American after all. But when a comment is made, it touches a nerve and he deletes the comments that don't suit him.
@@Wintermaus your comment is stil here....🤨
You watch the episode knowing full well it is about ww2 and the holocaust atrocities. You want American history/atrocities??? Pick a chanel that will cator to your needs or perhaps a different episode! This is an excellent chanel and topic/topica. Many people don't know about it. And, sad to say...there are people who don't even believe that the holocaust even happened. Some believe it was just a hoax. Here people can see and hear real history. Things that are not taught very well in schools anymore.
YOU DON'T LIKE IT??? WATCH A DIFFERENT ONE!🙂
There are many different historical topics to view. Even American ones he has also covered! Did you even look at the list of videos??? Tons to choose from. Civil war vids are there. That was certainly an American atrocity...
We still have Palestine to remind us that fascism / zionism still exist and that we never gonna learn to be a humans! #freePalestine🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Thank you for helping educate a new generation of Americans about the Holocaust. As it's often said, "Those who don't know history are condemned to repeat it." God willing, the world will never again witness such horrors and hatred.
My great grandfather was a colonel after WW1 in Czechoslovakia. After the German occupation of Czech he joined the resistance organization (Obrana národa) Defense of the Nation. He was captured and arrested by the gestapo in 1941 and sentenced to death. He was later transferred and executed at Mauthausen concentration camp in 1942. After his death he was promoted to Brigadier General in memoriam. I really enjoy and appreciate the WWII videos. Thank you.
The Obrana naroda probably was a Communist Organization the Gestapo was within their rights to arrest Communists and Traitors to The Czech People.
It's always been disturbing what was carried out by Germany during WW2 but even more so was the well organized , systematic approach to killing. Just one of the many aspects of humanity that makes one's stomach turn.
The Japanese were just as Brutal
@@danielmastin3606 if not more brutal. The Nanjing Massacre was terrible.
Germany had a well-organized apparatus for mass murder. They started running out of "Untermenschen" towards the end of the war they were that effective. What a hopeless situation for these victims to be in.
@@danielmastin3606 yes everyone knows that. Germany however turned it into a manufacturing process . Things were well planned out in advance. An entire understructure was designed for it.
Wow, I'm shocked that your comment passed the UT political correctness censure pushing an absurd about Nazis instead of Germans.
Also nearby was A SS anti-tank training school, which is where my Dad's tank division (20th AD) took their heaviest casualties when pushing towards Munich.
With my parents, toured southern Germany in 1980, and while I made a point to visit Dachau. My Dad however just couldn't do it for a second tine, just too many upsetting memories of what he had experienced in this area of Germany.
Wow…I love that the victims names are memorialized ❤ we must NEVER forget them and what happened to them!
The problem is there’s so many you could not possibly put them on, and many whose names are unknown.
Humbling and well done with Grace and Honor for those that were executed and or went through that living hell. BTW nice cliffhanger!
Thank you.
Artfully, tastefully, and respectfully done again, JD. There is something so terribly moving [to me] about the leaves resting on the monument listing the names of the men who were murdered here. My mind immediately embarked on an excursion to, “What if … ? What would their lives have looked like had they survived?” Gentle Slumber To All who perished in Dachau, and in every concentration/extermination camp throughout the Third Reich. 🙏 NEVER FORGET
Amen
JD, I couldn’t imagine the horror of what these people went through and on top of it all having to hear gunshots being fired all day long at the gun ranges. JD, Up until the release of your last video I didn’t know Dachau was a SS training ground, your videos have so much information in them.
I didn't know that, either! He really does such an outstanding job. I don't know about you, but I'm going to go watch some cartoons or something after his. This hit hard. 💙🙏🕊
I cant imagine the horror those soliders went through. Let us never forget.
@@kristysuggs3282 Ameen! Most of the soldiers probably never talked about it once they got home. Hell, my Grandfather was stationed in Alaska and i would ask and ask for information about his experiences and he would only talk about the night he was on watch and heard what sounded like the Russians coming. He was panicking so hard out there by himself, but it was only a herd of caribou lol. The reality, though, was he was part of the cleanup team collecting all of the American bodies after the ambush. He missed the ambush by a day and likely wouldn't have lived.
Yes Dachau was one of the primary training center for the SS guards in the camps system. Also a training center for the 3rd SS Totenkopf Division of the Waffen SS. As the members of the division also served as guards in the camps. Along with being a part of the Einsatzgruppen (special action group) the death squads who carried out the early actions of the Final Solution against the Jewish population, the civilian population, and the intelligentsia of Europe. Dachau was the original camp and the breeding ground for the brutal methods used by guards and personnel of the entire concentration camp system of the Third Reich. Also Dachau was the blue print for all of the other camps in the system such as Auschwitz and Buchenwald. Hope this helps you learn more about the Holocaust.
Thank you for the content and for remembering the victims.
Absolutely. Thank you.
I find I must watch these.....but I have to space them out because I get overloaded with emotion and grief when I watch to much. And anger! I really do appreciate all the information and truth you give. Thank you.
Heavy stuff, for sure.
Very glad there's a monument with all the names of the brave soldiers that met their end in such a cruel way.
Agreed.
Probably one of the few places in the world, because of the conditions and treatment, that death was welcomed as a release. Amazing how so many people could sink to that level of depravity.
Thank you for letting us see. You do an awesome job sharing the facts. Bless all the victims
Victims in my heart and prayers. This evil should never be forgotten.
As a Christian, I struggle that these people had to go through such pain. It's incredible that a lot of the people held their faith intact. I hope that the witness that they gave with the ultimate price, has an effect on this ever happening again. God Bless you all. 🙏🙏
Gone,but not forgotten. Respect and gratitude for all who sacrificed during these troubling times. 👍
Visiting any of the concentration camps is a very sobering experience. These videos make me get very emotional, mostly sad and angry. Sad that human beings had to endure such atrocities in the camps, and angry that human beings allowed such atrocities to occur. Thank you for doing such a tasteful and respectful job honoring those who lived it, and honoring those who died because of it. If you ever get the chance to visit places like Dachau, Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Bergen Belsen or Treblinka, please do it. So that we never forget what happened at these places.
One of my Dad's navy buddies Mr. Lippa was a survivor of Dachau. He was saved by Amerians he came to this country became a citizen and served in the Navy.
I have a BS in History and I was in the US Navy almost 8 years. I love learning about history.
Thank you for all of your hard work. Well done ❤️.RIP to all the beautiful Souls who suffered the ultimate Evil.
I always like Your choice of music for Your videos.
Michael Vignola's music is just perfect for this video.
Thanks.
Bye far my absolute favorite TH-cam channel I love everything about history and I learn something new everytime I watch your videos you do an amazing job
Well said. And he's an amazing guy. 👍 👍 👍
JD, this reminds me of some of Your uploads from Poland in remote and virtually unknown cites except i could spend hours here. The memorial to the executed men in four straight lines was perfectly executed to illustrate history. The unbelievable poignancy of Your video demand the pun. Thank You so much and God bless !:-) 🙏💜🙏
Awhile ago I repented to God then begged for help, "I was until then an Atheist."
I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed.", and what I felt from Jesus when I held him was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of Love every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life, forever.
I've had other experiences since, "Several witnessed", one was seeing a bright orb of light pass across my face in the dark, hours before a major surgery the second I gave up in my heart.
Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they Love us deeply. Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you Love them.
Always have hope, I believe that prayer, following God's laws & Love is the answer, and through that, becoming humble, merciful, welcoming, giving, and forgiving, To All.
I was there in July of 1979. I commend you on the accuracy of your narrative. One thing I had noticed in the museum part there were wall to wall photos life size of the medical lab where they tested prisoners and of dead people every where. The Nazi training area was not open to the public and there was no mention of Russian military firing squads. Reading those names made me cry. I didn't while I visited them but now...life is far more precious. Boys fight in dirty old men's wars.
Another awesome video done with respect for the memories of those who were lost.
Though remember it's their descendents who are currently exacting a similar extermination upon the peeps of Ukraine.
@@suzyqualcast6269 that’s true, but they had nothing to do with what’s occurring now.
😢 Just sad. 4000 men. Just because they were Russian soldiers fighting a war against a country run by a mad man. I can’t imagine how their loved ones felt when they found out they died this way.
Thank you JD for this sad but much needed to be seen video.👍😢
Although it would never have happened, as AH was a con:- try to imagine a Europe run by one half Communists, t'other by National Socialists, that's what Joe was expecting, until... 💦
Obviously not to excuse the atrocities that Hitler committed, but Russia was ruled by a madman too. As a dear friend of mine who was a teenager in Germany during WWII told me, “War is hell.” Her father was killed by Russian soldiers as they swept west. Her family had prayed the Americans, moving east, would reach their village first, but no such luck. She hated all war and violence, including the unspeakable evil done in her country.

As a history lover, I've always had sympathy for the ordinary people, from both sides on the eastern front, who were in an impossible position because of mad people in power, and that includes Stalin because he was just as much a ruthless nutcase as hitler.
We took a trip to this place when I was a soldier back in 2005. What I felt that day will never leave me, as it was a prime example of how horrible humans can be. Be safe brother.
It was legal to execute Partisans.
I did the same thing when I was stationed in Germany. That was in 1992.
Thank You for telling us the stories about people and things that are in Jeopardy of being forgotten. They should be remembered so that it's never to be forgotten. Humans died in horrible ways and for no reason.
Well done, very informative video. If I may add something from the testimony of my father: The SS was particularly "mad" about russian and polish prisoners. He witnessed also executions of russian and polish inmates in the camp, not only at Hebertshausen. Polish priests, put into blocks 26, 28 and 30 (you can imagine the amount of priests!) had a hard time; e.g. they were not permitted to visit other prisoners in non-clerical blocks; sometimes they could not celebrate the mass because of "misconduct". There are tons of things to tell about the camps, one being more terrible than the other.
Unbelievably sobering to see these places with the detail you're bringing to us. Thank you for taking us with you.
You're knowledge and insight is awesome, love watching your videos!
I appreciate that!
I appreciate the visit. I didn't know about this site. I don't believe this was there, nor were the some of the memorials when I visited Dachau early nineties. The attitude I experienced was still something like if I don't speak about it, I don't have to come to terms with it. That changed when I came back to Germany 10-15 years later and even more so when I was in Germany last spring.
You´re right. The "full" memorial site with monuments and explanation boards were put in place in 2014. One monument, we saw it briefly in the footage, was erected in 1964 though.
@TheHistoryUnderground You´re very busy and you do a great job which is educational for all of us, especially for the youth. One topic which is inseparably linked to Dachau CC is the march towards the south, or better several marches, because of different routes, beginning on april 26th, 1945. Ca 1.000 people did not survive those death marches (Todesmärsche).
Thank you for helping keep our humanity intact by looking back at our inhumanity...LEAST WE FORGET!
Another great video. Congrats on your fundraiser. You've got a lot of friends.
I visited Dachau in 2015. It was important for me to be there and first hand see where so much cruelty and suffering happened. While there, I don't know how to express my grateful feeling adequately about seeing a group of young German children being shown the concentration camp.
Much to learn there.
You are living your best life while bringing so much joy to all of your viewers, even through these “rougher” videos. I have learned so much from you and Mr. Erik Dorr. Awesome video yet again man.
🙏🏼
I was a bit worried how I would feel about watching the Dachau videos, especially this one. But as always you have made such thoughtful and careful videos that don't underestimate the horrors. I also did not know this was a training camp for the SS or that there were so many Russian victims. Helps in a way to understand Russian thinking. In every video I learn something. Thank you for your hard work!
JD, thanks again for bringing this content to us. You do an incredible job of showing us history events.
Another great video JD. I have studied history and WWII, and knew about the camps, but never knew about the Tussian POW's executed ar Dachu. Thanks once again for expanding my knowledge. Sir, you presented this in the perfect tone and manner. I am humbled watching all you do. These videos should be mandatory watching for our students in high school. Totally debunk the nay sayers
Thank you. Hoping that people share these videos out with others and especially students and educators.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Hey JD, I have been telling my kids and grandkids about your channel and both my son and daughter have said they have been watching. Like me, because if my dad's service in the Pacific in WWII, we have always been more interested in the Pacific conflict. You have increased my knowledge greatly
@@michaelblagrave7648 debunk as in? These camps were a non-isssue. Soviet union had their own concentration camp gulags so im not entirely sure why they would care about freeing semites from the camps in germany other then the fact germany backstabbed the soviets and it led to the red army capturing berlin after accumulating 9 million military casualties. The US still had their concentration camps from discovery doctrine, no clue why they would care about semites in germany, lol. It seems it was more of a issue of germany getting too greedy with territory in europe, not the fact they had camps. Lol. I mean I get the notion, but factually speaking the germans were not any worse then the americans or soviets when it came to genocide, in my opinion everyone should get alteast one, lol. Plus, after WW2 the illegal state of israel was created in palestine territory, further causing more conflicts. They should have been given annexed portions of german land not some magical fairy tale holy land in another sovereign state.
Wow. I got my first job in my profession straight from University working in a place in Dachau back in 2017, moving from the UK. The place was literally a few streets away. I lived in Munich for a lot of my time there, but for my final 6 months I was there I moved to Hebertshausen.
Like most in the comments I had no idea about this place when I first moved here, and only found out it was there by chance when I was bored one day, and did some research into the small village I’d just moved to a few months previous. I almost even commented on the previous video asking if you had checked this place out!
These Dachau videos have brought back some powerful memories and feelings I didn’t think was possible by watching TH-cam. I’m amazed at seeing the footage of the camp how clear the memories are of everything from my visits. And seeing the road I used to travel down every day past the camp to work when you were showing the camp fencing. Very humbling experiences. And I’m glad I made the effort to travel to other historical WW2 sights during my time over there.
Just like to say thanks for these videos, and commend you and the team on the perfect blend of high level of production, quality information (plus how it’s delivered) and the perfect level of somber/respectfulness when covering difficult topics such as this. Thanks!
Sorry? I’m confused. You went to university and had never heard of Dachu? I was only born in the 60’s myself and it’s hardly a secret.
@@xr6lad yes you are confused. And no the Hebertshausen executions I wasn’t familiar with
its truly interesting, the fact that humans can be so damn cruel to other humans is just mind boggling.
Hard to imagine.
Just heartbreaking. Make you do 360 on how things are now compared to then from Pacific to Europe.
Very informative, I had never heard of the Russians being executed at the firing ranges before. Keep up the great work JD.
Amazing piece of history thank you for the lost piece of the puzzle we didn't get in history class
This is remarkable, love to see it's history
🙏🏼
This channel always makes exceptionally good use of music; never moreso than in tough ones like this. This really honors the victims of these terrible places, and it steams me that TH-cam chooses not to get that.
Did you get to Sachsenhausen? My sudo Nanna was in there and I read the book Liebe Mutti by Jerzy Pindera just before I got there, it was truly moving to walk around and visualise what is written in that book and what she spoke about. Being paraded down the streets from the train station and into the camp.
Jerzy Pindera took a job loading the ovens just to stay warm and alive.
No, but I intend to get there at some point.
Very moving & sad to see all the horrible things that these people had to endure. Thanks for sharing. We will be visiting Dachau in the fall of this year. I'm sure it will be an even more humbling experience in person.
Excellent collection of videos with the history of the Dachau concentration camp, TJ. I went on a personal history tour to Munich, Berchtesgaden, Obersalzberg and Landsberg 3 weeks ago, following all the places and information provided in your videos. They were extremely helpful. I also had the chance to stop by Dachau on the way to the airport, by sadly only had the chance to see part of the main block, including the gas chambers. I really want to go back and spend some time going through the different sections of this camp. I noticed it was so widespred around the area at Dachau, when I was driving around. It amazes me (not in a good way) how massive and horrific these places were. Thanks for these videos!!
I read an excellent book back in the 1980's called " the last 24 hours of dachau", which if still in print is highly recommended as a detailed history from survivors of the atrocities
Thank you, may we never forget!! God Bless!
Thank you.
Oh WOW! Thanks for bringing light to a lesser known story. Thanks for teaching us.
My pleasure.
What a great video! Keep doing what you’re doing brother. Been a follower for the past 4 years. Hope one day I get to visit this place and other places around the History of WWII. God bless
Thank you for the whole channel, I watch your videos every time I see it on my feed and is always interesting and educational. I think it’s always beneficial to look at both sides of history no matter how brutal the topic is, I think that education about these evens will prevent these horrific things from happening. I thank you for that JD
It's really humbling video and very interesting what happened can't wait for the next video mate
Another outstanding video. By far the best historical videos on TH-cam.
God bless 🙏👌
I wish yall could do an episode about the alamo and goliad and san jacinto! lots of good stories to share!
I've always told people visiting the camps to always do your homework and always look outside the walls of the camps and certainly outside the remit of the camp guides. I've visited Auschwitz, Birkenau and Monowitz many times and believe me there is so much to see that is in plain view that nobody will tell you about.
My father toured Dachau about 1962, he was travelling through the Munich area after graduating from the 7th Army NCO school in Bad Tölz. Since he had no civilian clothes nor needed them for NCO school he was required to wear Class A's for the travel with his black MP armband and white hat. So on the journey back to Kaiserslautern (533rd MP Company) he had reservations about going into the Dachau complex for what he thought would be an impromptu tour with his uniform on. He decided to go in after deeply thinking about it as there were an over abundance of visitors there also (probably a weekend or anniversary of liberation of the camp?) and everyone instead stared at him as some sort of fascination. Not sure if they were survivors wanting to see a US Army uniform or thinking he was there to mediate some trouble and military "official" intervention was needed. He talked about this for many years afterward on how surreal the experience was.
One of the most disturbing places I have ever visited. Haunting
I'm.from the uk and to see all the former presidents homes in America is absolutely amazing you do a beutifull job of keeping history alive sir and like me your a history lover thank you for your videos truly amazing and thank you for educating us of wonderful history
Thank you. Very well done.
We visited Dachau in 2018. As we walked through the camp to exit I turned around and saw smoke coming from the chimney of the gas chamber. My mom and I stared, frozen. Then we heard sirens and realized there was a fire in the residential area outside Dachau and the smoke from that fire lined up with the camp chimney. No words.
The cold helplessness and despair at finding oneself trapped in one of these things.....
Thank you for your informative, intelligent, and often deeply poignant videos on Holocaust history.
Been there, done that. Pretty grim place! Thanks for the vid!
👍🏻
I have to reemphasize your talent for the moving images (both literally and figuratively) you present in all your posts.
There are other history pages whose hosts may be more informed than you. But the visual difference between you and them, is akin to the visual difference of an LED light bulb and lightening. Whatever history you might show us. From Wyatt Earp to Dachau. Your visual talent sinks us into the emotional moment every time.
🙏🏼
Read a lot about the holocaust and the atrocities that happened there! Tough to read about the treatment in these places! Always weighs on my mind how a person could do that to another person!! Thank you for these videos I really appreciate the history you share with us👍!
Look up Private John M Galione. I'm friends with his daughter. She's written two books about her father finding one of the camps.
Very interesting! It's always great to learn about and see something that is not so well known. Although I did not know anything about the S. S. shooting range at Dachau, it does not surprise me the least bit. The crimes of the Third Reich have unfairly tarnished the self esteem of many Germans in the international community up to the present.
A private olice force gone ara m, with rights over the regular Army, then gone mad and let loose.
I'M glad HH and his protoge got to 'smell' death, though theirs scored not a notch in atonement.
@@suzyqualcast6269 I do not understand what you are trying to say. Please elaborate.
This video made me cry so hard. I will never understand how a person can kill another.
Evil.
Fantastic..great production...have admitt..do not know how I would deal with my emotions there.
Heavy place. Thanks for watching.
I have absolutely love his channel
🙏🏼
Very moving and sad but a great video. I hope you did well raising funds for 3 WW2 veterans. 👍🏼😎
The German Fascists were meticulous record keepers, much to the chagrin of those who were prosecuted after the war. Knowing this fact, I am still in awe that the specific names and dates of the persons executed was able to be ascertained. It allows us to spend a moment or two remembering these pour souls some 80 years later.
Agreed.
Thanks for showing all those names.
Very humbling indeed.
Very much so.
I was there in 2014 during the Band of Bros tour. There is a short walk up a small hill next to this shooting range where they buried all the Russian dead. It's a mass grave and is clearly marked. The SS would use the Russians as target practice then toss the bodies into a truck to be dumped in the mass grave up the hill. Very moving experience.
Yes, I went there but unfortunately, the footage was bad. I'll have to go back someday and do it properly.
Thank you!
Thank you for watching.
Thank you
Such a sad time in world history. But those who rendered those cruel actions in life were punished nice video
Never forget these innocent souls.
It's good that we now know the truth about Dachau. Thanks for this video.
How did they find out about the executions of the Russian pows? Great video by the way, I always learn so much.
Thank you .I didn't know about the Russians being executed there as well Such a sad thing , I'll. never understand the cruelties of war It's as though all humanity is gone.Again thank you for what the history books and teachers never told us You are very much appreciated 👍❤️🇺🇸
Brutal place.
We visited Dachau in the summer of 2021 after our three kids learned the history of Holocaust. It’s very sad to see how some humans could be so evil.
Horrible. Just horrible
Thank you for this. Question - where the long, thin monuments are listing those executed, there are breaks showing "track." Are there monuments missing?
As a historian i feel like I owe it to all who suffered to learn the horrors of their story
Absolutely. And share it.
@@TheHistoryUnderground yes sir you are correct
Went past Dachau in the early 1960's, I could feel the evil coming from the camp, Horrid place.
JD I'll never be able to make these trips so I am privilaged to learn from you. Big recommendation, Frenchtastic just did an episode on the Verdun museum and forts. Check it out!! You would do a more informed episode. The Museum inside that she showed was as an impressive experience on line that I have seen. And she's not into war themes.
These videos and stories just make it even more clear and horrific just how evil the Nazi's were
A great great vidéo my friends,you'r narrative is amazing,sorry for my language but i speack french and not use translation
Hi, I will be visiting Dachau Concentration Camp in early September this year, is the SS shooting range in the main concentration camp complex? Thank you for the excellent videos.
Vary interesting
didn't know that was even there when i was at that location.
Great Video, JD. Did make me think: How many times do you see that , of the around 250,000 German 6th Army men who surrendered at Stalingrad, only a few thousand got back to Germany post-war? By contrast, who ever talks about how many of the million odd Soviet POWS the Germans captured got back home? The obvious "Tit-for Tat" comparison is not constructive, but consideration of this does instruct on the different nature of the Eastern and Western Fronts in regard of how Nazi Germany acted
You should go to eastern Poland- Treblinka, Sobibor, Belzec. Also the Ninth Fort in Kaunas and Ponary in Lithuania. Marked execution sites are scattered in the forests outside villages and towns all over Lithuania. Many synagogues still stand too- now standing empty of their congregations.
