For more than 60 years, two American Divisions, the 42nd Rainbow and the 45th Thunderbirds still argue to be the first American troops in Dachau. In this book you will find the proof that they already were there in second place. Some curious Americans from japanese ancestry went in Dachau the DAY BEFORE the others but, had to leave at once under Court Martial threat and had orders to keep it secret. The truth was revealed 50 years later when we found a diary recalling the Americans of Japanese Ancestry on April 29th 1945, the day of the liberation. The diary mentioned the liberation of Dachau but, it was probably the subcamp of Kaufering IV Hurlach. If the Main unit was there, it was more than likely that the scouts of the 522nd F.A. were on the spot the day before. Of course, no other American troops were there on the April 28th 1945...
 

This book without concessions is not only informative, it is also a memoriam for those who suffered, lived and died under the Nazi regime. This book made to keep alive this page of inhumanity of the History of the World, should not be forgotten and may interest those who lived through the tragedy and their descent or those who are interested in World War II real history.

 

Dachau, Holocaust and U.S. Samurais recalls the horrors of the holocaust focusing specifically on the Dachau Camp, the first built by the Nazis in 1933. The prologue gives a general overview of the events surrounding the World War II. Next are the basic information about the camp itself with its layout and the different staffs who ran Dachau.   The readers will find documentation of the rules of the camp and with firsthand accounts of what happened to some of the prisoners. The author is not afraid to speak of the atrocities committed by the Nazis. Disease, Torture and death are rampant in the chilling pictures of the death chambers, ovens and torture devices which lend credence to what was written concerning the unspeakable treatment of the Dachau inmates. The daily day life and the working conditions in the camp and in the commandos are described without fear. Then come the last days of Dachau and how the International Liberation committee was formed and its key role in the liberation. A chapter is devoted to the infamous Death march during which the prisoners unable to walk were either shot or torn apart by the SS dogs. Then for the first time, the role played by very special liberators coming from 10 Concentration camps in USA: The Samurais of the 522nd F.A. and the story of the liberation of the camp. But the story of Dachau
