In the full length interview I believe he does mention where he took these photos. I seem to recall that they were Polish prisoners and given the vector of the allied advance, must have been in western Germany. If you need to know (i.e. had family members in this area) send me a note and I'll review the video.
@kokosz33 I agree, the Nazis should be called Germans
the Nazis were Germans
Deep down the modern day Germans still look to their Nazis as heros
I wish Germany had faced a harsher punishment for what they did in that war, they got away pretty damn easily, Germany should never be trusted again and they never should have been unified
@KilITheNazis Rofl, your name on youtube is "KillTheNazis", so I guess your on a conquest to put a face on the Germans from WW2, or just Germans in general. Well, some of the most nice people I know are from Germany, and when I talk to them about WW2 they fall in agony really, because most of them I know had relatives who either fought the war, or lost someone in the war. War is not black and white, good and bad things happen on both sides. - Continued
@KilITheNazis And to make it even more clear, the real bastards of Germany at this period was the SS, and only few divisions in the SS - Like Allgemeine SS, were responsible for these atrocities (Which by the way was multi-national, so not only Germans are bastards here) - If we look at the Wehrmacht for example (The standard German Army), under 1/10 of the German soldiers in the Wehrmacht followed the national socialist ideology (Nazi ideology).
Auschwitz was not liberated by US troops, it was liberated by the Red Army on January 27, 1945. US troops did liberate Dachau and in their anger at what they found they massacred the SS troops they had taken as prisoners.
I don't recall that he ever said what he saw was in Auschwitz. It was simply one the many death camps that were liberated by the Allied Forces. As for the SS troops who were massacred, I'm sure many American GI's captured by the Japanese or Russian's who survived (most didn't) German captivity had similar experiences. That's war.
people life this almost dont exist anymore like my uncle was one of many who liberated Auchwhitz he died recently but always it was a sign of death looking around at bodies those are me not to forget
Thank you sir for your service to the USA. I'm sure those images are probably burned into your memory, I hope they did not affect you too much. You and all the Allied men who fought over there are all heros in my book.
Im so glad to know that Hitler is in Hell...ALIVE!!!!

"GERMANS" - HE SAYS "GERMANS"
Not "nazi" but "germans"
These days every one says - the natzi did THIS or that. NO NO NO GERMANS DID THIS AND THAT.
Dont let germans forget and move the gilt to virtual natzi.
Thay are starting to forget
