Seventy-five years ago the U.S. Army liberated Dachau, a concentration camp operated by Nazi Germany during World War II.

On April 29, 1945 the U.S. Army’s 42nd Infantry Division, now a part of the New York Army National Guard, uncovered the concentration camp in the town of Dachau, near Munich Germany. According to a press release by the New York National Guard, the frontline soldiers in the Army unit knew there was a prison camp in the area, but knew few details about the camp’s true nature.

“What the Soldiers discovered next at Dachau left an impression of a lifetime,” the division assistant chaplain (Maj.) Eli Bohnen wrote at the time, according to the release. ““Nothing you can put in words would adequately describe what I saw there. The human mind refuses to believe what the eyes see. All the stories of Nazi horrors are underestimated rather than exaggerated.”

On Wednesday, members of the U.S. Navy’s 6th Fleet and the Israeli Defense Force bands played the Israeli national anthem in tribute to a survivor at the Dachau concentration camp who later became an Israeli national.

April 29 also marks the 72nd anniversary of Israel’s founding as a nation. Israel was formed on April 29, 1948 exactly three years after the Dachau liberation.

We bombed Berlin, Dresden as if we seriously meant to win. We have occupied Germany since then.

We bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as if we seriously intended to win.

Today sometimes one wonders if we provide medical care including hystorectomies, for male to female transgenders, to satisfy the left, who appear to form most of the permanent bureaucracy of govt.

LTC Vidman with his offer to run Ukraine's military just one example.

Brennan commie pig, being another.

Dachau began during WW1 as a temporary housing for factory workers. Within week of Hitler becoming Chancellor in 1933 it was re-opened as a prison camp for political enemies, and remained such through the war. After WW2 it was used to house refugees (bombed out? fled East Germany? dunno). After people got resettled it was closed and the barracks demolished. The administration building has been re-purposed as a museum. The former barracks yard is mostly bare earth, except for two replica barracks that show what they were during the four stages of camp usage. At the far end of the barracks yard from the museum building is an all-faiths chapel and a gate to an area outside the wall where there is an experimental gas chamber and a crematorium. Much of the perimeter around the camp wall is trees and wild flowers and grasses. These are a memorial to the many whose ashes were scattered in that area.

Mrs. S in CA and I visited the camp museum in 2000 as a surrogate for going to church on a Sunday. We don't speak German so we figured this would be meditative on a level we could understand. It was deeply - and appropriately - disturbing. The physical grounds, the trees and flowers especially are truly beautiful. But the evil that had been committed there made it macabre.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
