When I was stationed in Germany, I visited Dachau and Flossenburg on several occasions. I saw the ovens, the mass graves. At Flossenburg, in the middle of the well-manicured grounds, was an area that was marked with a large sign: PRISONERS WERE SHOT HERE.
Splitting hairs in this topic is ridiculous.
BTW, Sam...these remarks were not meant for you, I'm merely adding to your post.
Makes me all the more curious.
