On April 27, 1945, the 12th Armored Division reached Kaufering IV. The 101st Airborne Division arrived the next day, with the 522nd Field Artillery Battalion and 36th Infantry Division arriving on April 30. The liberators found this Bavarian camp in one of the worst conditions of the Dachau subcamps.
