My dad, an Army combat veteran of WWII in N. Africa, Italy
& Germany spoke of seeing a stack of dead bodies TEN FEET
HIGH for a span of an eighth of a mile at one of the camps
they liberated. The NAZIS had skedaddled too fast to
“process” the bodies when they heard the American tanks
rumbling and the American feet marching toward their camps.
- The generals made a big mistake “sparing” the delicate
sensibilities of the public from seeing the results of
allowing such a one as HITLER to seize power and disarm
the regular citizen.

My grandfather said that there was never any question as to going off to war, but that after he visited a recently liberated camp, he knew exactly why he was there.

Only talked about it one time. I wish that I had listened more, and talked less, but when I was 15 or 16 Grandpa would be around forever, and there would always be second chances.
