Day Two: Bud Gahs returns to his WW2 battlefields

Day 2 of Bud’s return to his battlefields:

We visited Dachau concentration camp where Bud had patrolled the surrounding woods on April 29 1945, the day of the camp’s liberation.

His memories of encountering newly freed prisoners that day are still vivid, and he shared them with us and the incredible staff of Dachau - who greeted us with the warmest welcome.

Understandably, it was hard to reconcile the bright blue sky on the day of our visit with the somber atmosphere.

We are grateful to our new friends at Dachau for the tour, and spending so much time sharing information and memories with Bud!

After Dachau it was on to Munich. Bud’s unit were the first Americans to enter the Marienplatz, and Bud recalls driving his truck through the arch into the center of the city.
