Chilling shot. Is there any other info available about it?

I visited Dachau last summer - very sobering place - but I remember seeing those buildings in the background. Hopefully I’m right when I think that’s the same place I stood, that’s very interesting to me.

Could be this

There was at least one incident where US soldiers turned away from two prisoners beating a German guard to death with a shovel, and Lt. Bill Walsh witnessed one such beating. Another soldier witnessed an inmate stomping on an SS trooper's face until "there wasn't much left." When the soldier said to him, "You've got a lot of hate in your heart," he simply nodded.

I found another picture of the fellow from the same day.
