:banghead: One last fact...I gave Lt Haley orders to report to G-3 45th Division. BUT why after 55 years did the CG 42 Div. remember the third platoon Co B 48 Engineers specifically? AL

:armata_PDT_19: I visited the Camp of Natzwiller in France and and hell what the peoples had to go through was realy inhuman, and thanks to boards like this one it will not be forgotten what the Germans did to Woman's Men's and children.

When I saw the movie Schindler's List I was shocked how on Earth could someone heart innocent children, hey I knew from my Grandparents that the Germans were (bad guys) to say it polite, but usually no one is bad to kids.

 

After that I ordered some books about that matter I read the SS state from Eugen Kogon, The SS from on other author, Euthansie , and I read a book from *]Das Mädchen von der Schindler-Liste. Aufzeichnungen einer KZ-Überlebenden* well I'll try to interpred the title for you it sounds like ( the girl from the schindlers list who survived the kz her name is Stella Müller-Madej )

and this book realy gave's me the creeps I don't know if it's available in the states if yes buy it!

 

One of the points in the books who realy made me mad were one of her eyewitnesses when a german cabrio and a truck arrived at a kindergarden the kindergarden was in in the 3 floor she wrote that the german officiers were drunk, they moved into the house and yelled like mad one's to get people out then they took the kids and throw them out of the window on the truck's platform from the 3 floor she wrote in her book that that those children between the age of 3 to 6 who weren't dead were yelling from pain and the german officier's were laughting.

 

This book hurts believe me...

:( My God, that is sickening. As you stated, to do things to woman and innocent little children is outrageous! How anyone could have gassed anyone, but especially young ones, is just beyond description. No adjectives will suffice.

 

Thanks for the book recommendation. Sounds like a hard one to get through.

There had to be literally thousands of incidents like this that took place during the war, which makes you wonder...How did so many sadistic bastards happen to be congregated in Germany between 1933 and 1945? Was there something in the water? A single incident of cruelty to a child is deplorable, but to do it en masse, all over Europe for a period of 6 years begs for illumination...some kind of explanation. :(

Thank you for the recommendation. I know I would love to read this. Books like these should be on must read lists for all high school students, not some of the trash they have. I am going to place the your links in the BOOK section also.

I have seen my share of Holocaust photos and got many sleepless nights because of them as well. I can't believe there are actual "people" who deny the existence of these camps.

Here in Belgium is also a concentration camp.

It is called "Breendonk" (nearby village).

In fact in May 1940, this old fortress served as the HQ of the Belgian Army.

The Germans turned it into a real concentration camp after the surrender of the Belgian Army. And it was real horror there, believe me.

 

Then you have the Dossin Barracks in Mechelen too.

Here thousands of people (Jews, Resistance Fighters, Political prisoners, etc) were put on the trains to the bigger camps in Germany and Poland.

This was a "Transit Area" for these transports.

 

A black side in Belgium's history for sure.
