reprints

These photos are reprints. I have a number of them that someone had ripped in 4 and likely someone else re-taped. I recall #2 and I possibly have the others.

My personal guess is that these were taken by Allied soldiers after the camps were liberated and then copies generously made shortly thereafter. Possibly for soldiers who were there and perhaps for the war crimes tribunal. Just hypothesizing on a theory.

I'll see if I can find them.

Hello I cant say good or bad but I have seen these photos before.

Pictures already saw several times and in this occasion clearly reprints.Sorry but in any case I don't understand why you firmly denied the shipping to Italy....Should we know what's happened with this country??

[Johnny R]

All three are very well known historical and widely published photos. Sorry,

[S. McKibben]

Thanks everyone for the info.Well they will be good for a conversation piece.

As far as Italy Goes,just got burnt a couple times for around 900.00 so you know the saying,one person ruiens it for the others.

Thanks again,Shawn

French Book about Dachau

These well known photos appeared in a French published book about the Dachau campe that appeared on the scene in 1946 or 1947 and has been reprinted several times since and used in various other publications.

They were also reprinted right after the war and distributed to the U.S. soldiers that couldn't make it to see any of the camps..
My Uncle [US Vet at Dachau] said that there actually were some soldiers that didn't believe about what happened at the camps and when one of the famous Generals [Eisenhower? Patton?] heard about this they ordered small packets of the Dachau photos printed up in Germany and had them sent around to the troops..I've heard the Russian did the same...

All three are very well known historical and widely published photos. Sorry,

Agreed. Looks like you got burned on these... Sorry.

All three of them come from the Ballantine Illustrated History of WWII

#4 in thier Human Conflict Series

Genocide: The Jews in Europe 1939-45, Ward Rutherford

Have it buried at home someplace but all three of these pics are in it and the give away is the first pic it is printed backwards from the orginal negative and cropped the same way.

Very common in this series of books to make the pics fit.

I've found the 13 photos I have...6 shown below in which you'll find your 3 pix.

In one you'll see what appears to be an American GI. Odd how one photo of the deceased was labeled as 'political prisoners'. Perhaps the author was not aware of the Holocaust's extent.
