“Concerning the service of Mr. Charles Payne: C.T. Payne was a soldier in the 89th Infantry Division. He served in the 355th Infantry Regiment, Company K. The 355th Infantry Regiment was the unit to liberate Ohrdruf. Mr. Payne was there.”
Obama’s grand uncle was Charles W. Payne, not Charles T. Payne. Also, the webmaster of the site is a moonbat.

OK, then it must be what Obama meant was that:
His great uncle, not his uncle, whose name is Charles T. Paine, but listed in his genealogy as Charles W. Payne, freed what he thought was Auschwitz, but really was Buchenwald, even though both C. W. Paynes and C. T. Paynes enlistment records show that they both enlisted in the Navy right after Pearl Harbor, well that is a year after Pearl Harbor, to protect our 57 states.
I saw that on Sweetness and light. Moonbat central at the Kitchell 89th website. My guess is Charles T. is NOT Obama’s uncle.
From a post at S&L by CurvyRed:
I am having a great deal of difficulty with verfication of this Charles T. Payne, because according to genealogy website his mother had one brother Charles W. Payne.
Rolla Charles PAYNE and Leona MCCURRY married in Kansas about 1922 and had the following children:
i. Madelyn PAYNE
ii. Charles W. PAYNE born about 1924.
iii. Arlene PAYNE born about 1926
Now there is a Jon Payne who claims to be Charles T. Paynes brother:

I really hope someone can verify if the great uncle is Charles W. or Charles T. and who the heck is Jon?
