Abstract
Roy Gock was a member of the 14th Armored Division, which liberated Ampfing, a sub-camp of Dachau, on May 3, 1945. He joined the division as a replacement in late April 1945. The camp was actually entered by another company from the 14th, while Gock and his unit waited for them to return; though Glock himself never went through the gates, he did see the prisoners coming out. He also spoke with one of the former inmates who had been an Air Force pilot and shared his rations with him.
