This is a 72 page intelligence report, originally intended for internal army use but soon having been unintentionally published. It was written by members of different (military) intelligence branches and agencies, lead by the G-2 section (cf. bottom of fourth page of pdf) of the 7th US Army which liberated the Dachau concentration camp near Munich, Germany, during the last days of World War II in Europe. It is a detailed account on nearly all aspects of the concentration camp Dachau and was written with assistance by former inmates, namely, e.g., members of the "International Prisoners' Committee", the names of which are listed on p. 67.<br>
According to the third page of the pdf, it was prepared/written by three different intelligence agencies/branches, partly of the Army, partly of the US Ministry of War: the OSS (Office of Strategic Services), the CIC (Counter Intelligence Corps) and the PWB (Psychological Warfare Branch), probably organized by the G-2 intelligence branch of the 7th US Army. The publication date is not provided, it was later determined to be during May 1945. The digitization of this publication was made possible by the Tocker Foundation.<br>The foreword is signed by Colonel William Wilson Quinn, who later became Deputy Director of the Defence Intelligence Agency and Commanding General of the United States Army Europe. Therein, very strong words are chosen for the horrors with which the US liberators of Dachau were confronted.
