People always talk about all the Jews who disappeared from Nazi Germany during World War II. There is another missing group no one EVER talks about.
I am told they are now appearing in WWII movies, but I don’t watch WWII movies.
When the American Heroes of Normandy hit the coast a major portion of them, I have heard half, dropped their “weapons” — a Real Man doesn’t call it a gun or a rifle.
If you ask somebody who has been in fighting whether he ever killed anyody, his usual answer is “I don’t know.” But if he says “YES!” he is almost invariably a member of the group that calls iself The Greatest Generation.
It is interesting to note that almose every member of “The Greatest Generation” killed the enemy personally AND liberated a concentration camp. One general estimated that about 10 to 15% of the American soldiers in action did some 80% of the actual fighting. For some reason, those are the OLY ones I ever meet.
What happened to the guys who dropped their “weapons?” What happened to the other 85 to 90%? How did the concentration camps HOLD all those hundreds of thousands of GIs who liberated them?
History refuses to give me a reply.

I think the ones that can still walk are giving talks at Middle Schools while hoping their Depends aren’t full.
What’s not clear is if the applause they hear is for the thousands of Germans they personally garroted with piano wire or because they can still stand up at a podium for twenty minutes without falling over and breaking a hip.
