Well, that's precisely the effect desired in "Band of Brothers", they are horrified about what they saw at the camp. But they are told by other Allied troops that they discovered hundreds of camps like that and that there even were some ones bigger with gas chambers and furnances! Dachau was not that 'primitive', since it had concrete buildings and huge infraestructure. Remember when major Winters (or was it captain Nixon?) says: "The Russians liberated a camp ten times bigger than this one!" They were wrong, they liberated a dozen camps ten times bigger than that and two 100 times bigger that that!
