A view of the death march from Dachau passing through villages in the direction of Wolfratshausen.

German civilians secretly photographed several death marches from the Dachau concentration camp as the prisoners moved slowly through the Bavarian towns of Gruenwald, Wolfrathshausen, and Herbertshausen. Few civilians gave aid to the prisoners on the death marches. (April 25 - 30, 1945)
