It might have been Buchenwald or Dachau; Patton’s Army liberated that area of Germany.

As the saying goes, Obama is close enough for government work.

Okay, it was somewhere in Mof’ Germany. Also, did I mention
that he had to dodge sniper fire, too.

“It might have been Buchenwald or Dachau; Patton’s Army liberated that area of Germany.

Also, the 3rd Armored Cavalry, Patton’s Ghost Troops, liberated the Ebensee camp in Austria also. Your second sentence above probably has it right.

All these gaffes aren’t important. What’s important is Senator Obama is a far-left liberal with whacky and dangerous ideas about how to govern America.

Well, according to this article, it was two divisions of the Seventh Army that liberated Dachau, not Patton’s Third Army.

I don’t know about Buchenwald, however.

Dachau was liberated by the 42nd Infantry Division. It was called the Rainbow Division because it had men for many states as per McArthur. My father,a man who served in three wars, must be rolling in his grave. I only served in one war.

Obama sure finds folks from the wood pile.
