Interesting. My late brother-in-law was Jewish and fought his way across France after landing on Omaha Beach during the D-Day invasion. He was captured during the Battle of the Bulge and subsequently escaped.

Though his dog tags had his religion on them, he was never treated differently by the Germans...perhaps because he was an officer, perhaps because he was not part of the resistance but uniformed and fighting with the US Army.

Among the worst atrocities committed by our side was OPERATION KEELHAUL. In 1947, Truman’s watch, hundreds of thousands of Soviet POW were still being held in western Europe. In an effort to curry favor with Stalin and his cutthroats, a great many of these poor devils were forcibly repatriated to the USSR where they were imprisoned in Siberia or executed. Many of them committed suicide rather than go back to the USSR.
