WHERE ARE THEY? | 2006-08-04
People always talk about all the Jews who disappeared from Nazi Germany during World War II. There is another missing group no one EVER talks about.
I am told they are now appearing in WWII movies, but I don't watch WWII movies.
When the American Heroes of Normandy hit the coast a major portion of them, I have heard half, dropped their "weapons" -- a Real Man doesn't call it a gun or a rifle.
If you ask somebody who has been in fighting whether he ever killed anyody, his usual answer is "I don't know." But if he says "YES!" he is almost invariably a member of the group that calls iself The Greatest Generation.
It is interesting to note that almose every member of "The Greatest Generation" killed the enemy personally AND liberated a concentration camp. One general estimated that about 10 to 15% of the American soldiers in action did some 80% of the actual fighting. For some reason, those are the OLY ones I ever meet.
What happened to the guys who dropped their "weapons?" What happened to the other 85 to 90%? How did the concentration camps HOLD all those hundreds of thousands of GIs who liberated them?
History refuses to give me a reply.
