[QUOTE="VanC, post: 516846, member: 3355"] On April 12,1945, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, commander in chief of the Allied military forces, visited the Ohrdruf concentration camp. After viewing the evidence of atrocities, he ensured that these unbelievable scenes would be witnessed and documented so that firsthand testimony of the crimes could be given. Eisenhower ordered members of the U.S. military forces to see what had been done and urged politicians, dignitaries, reporters, photographers, and filmmakers to inspect the camps and describe the atrocities they saw to their constituencies. Subsequently, explicit photographs appeared in Life Magazine, leading newspapers, tabloids, and exhibitions in the United States, Great Britain, and France. Eisenhower and his subordinates also ordered nearby German townspeople to come and witness the results of Nazi depravity and to help clean up the areas and to bury the dead. At burial services, Allied chaplains harshly reminded ordinary German citizens of their responsibility for the crimes (Moxon, 3). Just to avoid any confusion, I copied and pasted this. I didn't write it. [/QUOTE]
