Abstract

Videotape testimony of William N., who was born in 1923 and served with the United States Army 12th Armored Division of the 7th Army in World War II. He recalls coming across several small labor camps while advancing across Germany in March 1945; coming upon a group of emaciated Dachau survivors in late April; recognizing them as "camp people" because of their uniforms; and giving them rations, water, and blankets before leaving. Mr. N. shows photographs his friend took when liberating Landsberg.
