Don't you suppose those SS boots might have gone to the camp prisoners? I know nothing about this particular event but that's what I see in this image.

This is a great service you do for all of us who are researching these profound events. Thank you!
A colleague of mine found out that her father was in the group that liberated Dachau and this means a lot!
