•  Info Gas chamber of the Dachau concentration camp, Dachau, near Munich, Germany. It was the first of the Nazi concentration camps opened in Germany, intended to hold political prisoners. Its purpose was enlarged to include forced labor, and eventually, the imprisonment of Jews, German and Austrian criminals, and later foreign nationals from countries that Germany occupied or invaded. As U.S. Army troops neared the Dachau sub-camp at Landsberg on 27 April 1945, the SS officer in charge ordered that 4,000 prisoners be murdered. Windows and doors of their huts were nailed shut. The buildings were then doused with gasoline and set afire. Prisoners who were naked or nearly so were burned to death, while some managed to crawl out of the buildings before dying. There were 32,000 documented deaths at the camp, and thousands that are undocumented. All by me, Poco² 17:17, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

•  Comment - Good documentation, and it's certainly chilling to be vicariously inside of a place where I could have been murdered had I been alive in Nazi Germany in the 40s. The parts that aren't brightly lit seem to me like they have some noise along with a fine grain; am I seeing correctly? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:06, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

  Hi Ikan Kekek, yes, you're right. I couldn't use a tripod. I took the picture sitting on that floor. I could apply more denoising, but not sure whether that would help. Poco² 14:18, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

• I really couldn't say. I'd have to see what it looked like. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:50, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

•  Support an important image and well done! One has to keep in mind, though, that apparently the gas chamber in Dachau was not in use, as Dachau's function was different from the one of the "extermination camps" in the east. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 08:52, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

  Thanks for the note, Martin Falbisoner, surprising that the "selected" one were sent abroad, but fine, I am not really in the mood to make any further reasearch on that. It was creepy enough sitting in that room and imaging things...Poco² 14:18, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

•  Strong support One of the biggest creep-out moments I've ever had was walking into this room, not knowing what it was until I squinted at the little plaque on the wall to find out (I'm sure they do that deliberately). Daniel Case (talk) 23:33, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
