When all other German prison camps are forgotten the name of Dachau will still be infamous. It was the first concentration camp set up for Hitler, and its mere name was a whispered word of terror through all Germany from the earliest days of Nazi control. It was one of the largest of the camps to which opponents of Naziism were sent. And here, too, was concentrated the flower of Nazi sadists whose business was torture and death. Last week the U.S. Seventh Army entered Dachau and liberated 32,000 of its still living inmates. With them went TIME Correspondent...
These men, cheering as hard as their feeble strength would permit, tore them selves getting through the barbed wire to touch us, to talk to us. Some of them were nearly mad with joy. Here were the men of all nations whom Hitler's agents had picked out as prime opponents of Naziism; here were the very earliest Hitler haters.

...When Hitler's SS bullies were still in knee pants, the Frankfurter Zeitung was a great and influential liberal newspaper, respected the world over as "the Manchester Guardian of Germany." In 1934 the Zeitung was briefly suppressed for printing Franz von Papen's one & only anti-Nazi bleat (attacking the "fanatical" wing of the Party). After that the Zeitung kept its tongue in cheek. Skillfully buried in its dreary business columns were more facts about Hitler's Germany than were reported anywhere else; its editorials condemned anti-Nazi incidents as a means of reporting them, and slyly...
