Liberation of the Mathausen-Gusen concentration camp, as an M8 Greyhound armored car of the US Army’s 11th Armored Division enters the camp, with the banner in the background being roughly translated (from Spanish) as ‘Anti-fascist Spaniards salute the forces of liberation’ (1945) [2448×1952]
I wish the Allies had also liberated Spain from fascism. They had saved us 40 years of misery, poverty, and repression.

Were there a bunch of Spaniards in the camp? Why was the sign in Spanish?

IIRC, there is a movie about this place on Netflix. Pretty good watch.

I had in mind that the Mauthausen camp showed an iron eagle on the front over the entrance. I see none on this image. The photos from this concentration camp were taken by Francisco Boix who later became known as the Photographer of Mauthausen.
