When American troops liberated Dachau, they were so enraged that they summarily executed dozens of SS guards. Did similar events happen at other concentration camps?

I don't know about Allied soldiers killing guards at other camps, but liberated inmates killed guards at Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald and Gusen-Mauthausen. I am sure it happened in other camps as well but these are the ones I have read about.
