In a series of a few dozen cases before a U.S. military tribunal at Dachau, lasting from 1945 through 1947, more than 100 members of the staff at the Dachau Concentration camp faced charges of war crimes related to atrocities committed at and around the camp. A total of 465 trials were conducted involving 1,676 accused war criminals.
In the major case (United States of America v. Martin Gottfried Weiss et al), forty-two officials of Dachau were tried from November to December 1945. All were found guilty - thirty-six of the defendants were sentenced to death on December 13, 1945, of whom 23 were hanged on May 28-29, 1946, including the commandant, Martin Weiss, and the camp doctor Karl Schilling; the rest were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment.
