God, I hate the Germans..." (Dwight David Eisenhower in a letter to his wife in September, 1944)
WWII history that has been erased from the history books. The main stream narrative of the second World War majors exclusively on the Holocaust but never talks about Dwight Eisenhower’s Rhine Meadow Death Camps which claimed the lives of an estimated 1.5 million Germans. The running and condition of these enslavement camps was so deplorable that it is virtually incomprehensible to believe anyone, let alone a US general and later a US president, would have treated people in a way that can only be described as evil.
Many of the 'Disarmed Enemy Forces' would be children and under Eisenhower's orders would intentionally prevent basic necessities reaching them.
