DachauGermany

panel from a museum exhibit about the Dachau Concentration Camp. The panel features text in both German and English, detailing the camp's operation under the SS. The heading reads "Das KZ Dachau unter der Befehlsgewalt der SS" and "The Dachau Concentration Camp under the Command of the SS." A large number '5' is also prominently displayed. Below the heading, two paragraphs of text describe the SS taking over leadership in April 1933, the deteriorating conditions, and the development of the "Dachau model" as a tool for political terror. To the right of the text, there is a black and white photograph. The photograph depicts a group of SS guards in uniform, standing in formation with rifles, saluting. In the foreground, several SS officers are visible, with one appearing to be inspecting the troops. A building with a barred window is visible in the background. Below the photograph, there is a caption in German and English that identifies the image as "SS-Wachkompanie beim Besuch des Reichsleiters der Deutschen Arbeitsfront, Robert Ley, 11. Februar 1936" and "SS guards company during the visit of Robert Ley, the national leader of the 'Deutsche Arbeitsfront,' February 11, 1936." An orange circular icon with the number '340' in white is visible in the upper right corner of the text area, suggesting it might be an audio guide marker or exhibit number. The background of the exhibit panel appears to be a textured wall, possibly depicting aging plaster or stone. The exhibit is likely located in Dachau, Germany, given the subject matter.
