I’ve been meaning to visit Dachau for some time to see the concentration camp, one of the earliest that opened during the Nazi regime and its purpose evolved over the years. This aerial photo was taken a few days before the Americans liberated it and it shows the scale of the site. The area marked in red is the section is the camp area that was used by the prisoners, which is also roughly the area of the site that remains open to visitors today. The former area used by the camp guards, the commandant and some of the workshop areas have since all been demolished.
