Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Accuracy Шаблон:Infobox military conflict The Dachau Uprising was a revolt of Jewish prisoners in 1945 against Schutzstaffel (SS) guards in Dachau concentration camp during World War II.[1] It happened during the Freiheitsaktion Bayern uprising against the Nazi regime.

In April 1945 the prisoners of Dachau concentration camp were supposed to be sent on a death march south with their SS guards to be used as labourers in the Alpenfestung.[2] The General of Freiheitsaktion Bayern, Rupprecht Gerngroß triggered the uprising while trying to overthrow the Nazis in Munich.[3][4] The SS left in panic, abandoning the inmates who were liberated by the arriving US forces soon thereafter.[5][6] After the US troops liberated the concentration camp, they were shocked how the Nazis treated the inmates. As an act of revenge, the American troops and the freed prisoners killed a few dozen SS guards.[7][8][9][10]
