Quote: "But the East is still in bondage to the treacherous tyranny of the Japanese."

Not just the Japanese, but the communist Soviet Union - who overnight became our next challenge...

May 8, 1945. On May 9th, my father’s outfit, known as Patton’s Ghost Troops liberated a death camp at Ebensee, Austria, referred to as the most diabolical of the camps.

My dad wouldn’t talk about it. His friend Bob Persinger commanded the first tank into the site. He told me a teenaged boy came up to his tank. He gave the boy a piece of bread. The young man took a bite and dropped dead from shock. He said they learned they could only give the 150 survivors (all teenagers) ice chips for hours before water and then food.
