After the liberation of Dachau, his company was brought in to relieve the troops there, and after a day or two, they rejoined their division on the attack on Munich. They were then sent back to Dachau to guard the SS and prevent inmates from escaping. Some of the SS prisoners were the german soldiers that committed the atrocities against the Americans in Malmedy. Mr. Cohen may have been the first Jewish soldier to guard the SS. He was honorably discharged from the Army on December 25, 1945."@en . . . "irn515070" . "Photo at Dachau"@en . . . "1945 April" . .
