Dachau
Controversy

Photographs
supporting the claim that the US Army faked the
“crematorium” installation at Dachau for an International
Dachau Committee.

WE have now () received (in an envelope mailed from an American town known to us on
August 2) the photographs referred to: eight are typical GI snapshots in black and white, showing US troop movements in and around the
Dachau camp, 155 mm howitzers of the 2nd Howitzer
Battalion / 345th Field Artillery leaving the camp for maneuvers in 1964, the main building and entrance, the former front entrance to the Dachau prison camp — now with a sign reading: “Southern Area

Command stockade” —
a guard tower looking south near the main entrance, the fence, moat, and gun tower looking south.

Battalion (Levy in the center)

The above picture is a picture postcard titled
in four languages “furnaces in the new crematorium”,
issued by the Comité International de Dachau. Our
US Army source has annotated this postcard: “This
building was erected in ’63-64, others added later
including memorial tower.”
