Just another in a very long line of American heroes.
Stationed near Munich in the early ‘80s, Dachau was high on my list to visit. One really can’t fathom the carnage that took place or the horrific conditions experienced by those sent there unless you see it firsthand.
And he will be welcome by thousands as he enters the pearly gates. I can’t even imagine the horror he felt when he saw that stack of bodies.
The worst part is that “Never again” is slowly becoming “Here we go again”
Dachau was just about the only place justice was served against rank and file SS.
It is always the Left that sets up concentration camps where people are sent to work and die.
Rest in peace, Sir.
RIP.
In the eighties, I was stationed in Germany and went to Dachau. Glad I went that once, will never go there again.
Ping.
Enter into Eternal Rest with our Savior faithful soldier.
I spent the day today with my Father, a WWII Vet, who will be 95 later this month.
He served in Belgium, Germany and CZ. Served in Patch’s 7th Army and Patton’s 3rd Army.
One of his classmates, Lt. Jack Westbrook, was also involved in taking Dachau. Dad was not there for it’s liberation but saw it not long after, his company spent that Winter near Munich as guards for work crews of captured German soldiers who were used to cut firewood so the inhabitants of Munich did not freeze.
They forced the inhabitants of Munich to go to Dachau and view what really happened. So there was no possibility of denying it.
My father told me that the GIs fed the liberated prisoners, who weren’t able to tolerate the rich diet and “died like flies”.
I’m sure soldier/liberator Feezel got a nice limousine ride through the Pearly Gates to be reunited with his unit and those he liberated.
Well done, Sir!
