My stepdad, God rest his soul, was a member of the 296th Combat Engineers, and assisted in liberating the Buchenwald camp. His unit compelled the citizens of Bad Berka, Germany, to witness the atrocities at the camp. It was very difficult for him to talk about it.

Thanks you for sharing the information concerning your step-father, He among the other American & Allied liberators of the Nazi death camp system carried the burden of the horror they witnessed since 1945.

Many liberators have already passed on, thus it is our job to remind the public of both the victims & their liberators, while countering those which state, 'it never happened'.

List of engineer associations.
