2nd of September and alone in Munich I decided to go to Dachau on a guided tour. It proved to be very interesting, dispelling my previously held idea that Dachau was one of the death camps. It is true that many people died there - around 30,000 but it was not one of the mass extermination camps such as Auschwitz. Opened in 1933, it housed mnay of Hitler's political opponents at first and then others, such as the Jews from Krystalnacht, who didn't exactly fit into Hitler's scheme of things. I endedx the day in good spirits thanks to a 5-0 for England.
