Combat Engineer with 69th Infantry Division...seen here getting tanks across the Rhine... He was there fighting at the Bridge at Remagen He was one who helped liberate Buchenwald His outfit met the Russians at the River Elbe on VE day... Respect. Those combat engineers were of huge importance. By the way Ingwe, if I had been one of the liberators of an extermination or concentration camp, there would have been a LOT of dead German guards. I do not think I could have held back, although it would have haunted me later. John

Here's a photo of Dad a few years ago. He's 81 now and still making things difficult:
l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Mother Gue, I says, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world, and by God, I was right. - Del Gue

Dad in front of a T-37 in about '67. He was a mustang officer, coming up through the enlisted ranks before going through Air Cadets and becoming an officer. He went on to fly the T-6, T-28, T-33, F-84f, F-85, F-100, T-37 and T-39. We lost him in '99 to a tumor in his head.

I do not think I could have held back, although it would have haunted me later. John The Germans had abandoned the place, knowing the Americans were coming. Not all the germans got out of Auschwitz in time though, and you can guess what happened.... And even without what you mentioned, my dad had more than enough haunting him....
