Dachau

After leaving Munich, we traveled only a few miles up the road to Dachau concentration camp. The flagship camp for all of the others. Set up in 1933 eventually seeing 200,000 prisoners from all over Europe imprisoned here and in the numerous subsidary camps. At least 41,500 were murdered. On April 29 1945, American troops liberated the survivors. A fascinating and somber memorial. We hired audio guides and it took a good couple of hours to get around. We then drove northwards, coincidentally, to Nuremberg. Went for wander in to the town and treated ourselves to a curry. It was so warm over night that we had to have the fan going. Not needed it since southern Spain.
Crazy to think we only have a week left before we return home. Mixed emotions about that. Definitely been an adventure.Read more
