    Film Provenance
    This 8mm footage was received from Joy Marshall, the cameraman's daughter, in November 1992. The cameraman, Harold L. Dunson, was a Chaplain and unit censor for a Medical Replacement Company in an Army division that liberated Dachau. In 1997, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum transferred the reels related to WWII and American soldiers in the European theater of war to video. Joy Marshall officially donated the 8mm film reels to the Museum in May 2005.
