- June, 1945 US POW camp in Germany
-
- "Starting in April 1945, the United
States Army and the French Army casually annihilated one million [German]
men, most of them in American camps . . . Eisenhower's hatred, passed through
the lens of a compliant military bureaucracy, produced the horror of death
camps unequalled by anything in American history . . . an enormous war
crime."

- I heard this kind of story repeatedly in the late 1940's.
Some were much worse as to numbers involved. I was super patriotic, and
told a kid his relative was a liar.
-
- One Sunday, he came to my house and got me, and I heard
a drunken discourse from his mothers'scarey boyfriend whohad been a GI
guard. He became hysterical talking about burying 100's per day. I have
no doubt this was true. He was with some kind of roving death squad. They
arrived at the German POW camps late in 1945, took selected prisoners from
shelters to open fields in mid-Winter. And watched them in shifts until
they were dead.
