“Like the German communist atrocities inside Buchenwald.”

What happened there? I looked on google and just found stories of inmates of the camp organizing a resistance and taking over the camp shortly before it was liberated. I saw one stormfront type article complaining that 80 German guards were summarily “murdered” by Americans when they were caught.

Have a link to what you are referring to?

This from scribd is one.

Basically the nazis allowed the prisoners to set up a form of self governance inside the camp and control was promptly seized by the communists who proceeded to brutalize everyone else.

I think I heard about it from some captured American airmen on one of the history shows. They spoke of the communists attacking the nazi guards at the end of the war and driving them away only to continue running the show till the allies arrived a few days later.

From the beginning, the Nazi movement was opposed to communism. Communists were among the first to be placed in confinements once the Nazis came to power.
