I have seen a photograph of killed (german) campguards in Sachsenhausen once in a book. I don't have the book anymore, but this event is not much spoken about in other publications. I'm curious if it is true and if the soldiers involved (officers?) where punished, although i can imagine the rage of the Americans when arriving in the camp and witness the attrocities. Did surviving inmates point out the worst guards, or how did the selection take place?

The camp was liberated by units of 47th Soviet Army on April 22th, 1945. just outside of Berlin to the NW. Why would the soviets allow the americans into their zone of occupation?
Guess what, chivalry in that war ceased after the North African campaign as the Waffen SS showed their ruthlessness at Normandy, Malmedy and other battles. On the Eastern Front, it was an everyday occurence, prisoners were seldom taken. At Normandy and the push to the Rhine, the allies also began taking no prisoners even though they were surrendering.

No selection in War. Ask yourself what you would have done. Think hard .Write a litter and throw it away in all the annals of History..who is on trial here?
