2010-04-09 14:52:38 ** Concentration Camp, Dachau, Germany, Munich ** Arrival at the camp

The road that formerly connected the SS area with the prisoner camp was uncovered in 2004. This road was how the prisoners reached the camp. Arriving prisoners had to march from the railway station to the camp, while other transports used trucks to bring the prisoners to Dachau. During the war trains transported the prisoners to the SS camp.

The final months before the end of the war were characterized by a catastrophic overfilling of the camp, due to the SS deporting several thousand prisoners from other camps to Dachau on the 'evacuation transports.' Thousands died in the course of these final transports.
