Documenting the Path of American Liberators (part 4)

[RebelSonBand]

How the f... the Germans could ever do such a thing is beyond me...All that "master-race" talk was just sooooooooo far out...

Thank you for posting this. It's important that these camps be remembered. People visiting the lovely cities and villiages of Europe sometimes do not realize they are in an area where thousands died horribly in such camps at that very location.

Like 9/11, the horror needs to be fresh in our minds because as Westerners, we forget very easily. Traditionally, we have never learned from our past. Sad.

I am missing a report of the dachau liberation and the dachau massacre, performed by US-Liberators. 560 german combat-soldiers - which already had surrenderd - were killed cold blood by US-Liberators in presence of a swiss representant of the international red cross, ignoring the geneva convention. (Read the book "the day of revenge" by Lt. Howard Buechner, US medical corps)

& good riddance to those nazi bastards may they rot in hell

[Truecolor1588]

you approve warcrimes ?

[PooPusher007]

yes your right, they should have been treated with the utmost respect & dignity that they deserved (& showed other soldiers & civilians), my apologies.

There still are Germans who can't digest the fact that Germany, led by the nazis, eagerly went to war, bent on enslaving other countries for their fake racial superiority and blatant greed for resources. Theirs was an unjust war and they paid the price.

[moparmonster1965]

That's true, but the average German didn't know that. They were swept up into a nationalist furor, Hitler having played on their sense of humiliation at the hands of the allies with the Treaty of Versaille (SP?) and their blaming of the Jews for all of their other ills.

[PeterAikman]

The Allies forfeited any right to moral superiority when they committed crimes against the Germans of an equal or greater degree than the crimes committed by the Germans themselves. The death of half of a million Germans in the terror Air War, the death of some two million Germans during the flight and expulsion from Eastern Europe and the death of hundreds of thousands of German POWs showed the Allies to be no less morally corrupt than the Germans. WWII was a bad war

like all wars.

I agree that all wars are bad wars, but didn't the Germans bomb residential targets in England during the Blitz first, killing 60,000 civilians? And the deaths of 11 million Soviets during the invasion of Russia happened before the Allies even reached Germany. The same goes for 2.3 million Poles.

At least we agree that all wars are bad wars. But in the case of World War 2, I believe some wars are necessary.
