[edit] Questions

• How long were the camp crematoria operational in post surrender Germany? How many bodies were disposed of in them post surrender?

Americans delivered low-ranking German suspects to Displaced persons camps for the purpose of having them executed by the DPs, without prior trial or sentencing.Matthew Brzezinski, Giving Hitler Hell

"I once saw DPs beat an SS man and then strap him to the steel gurney of a crematorium. They slid him in the oven, turned on the heat and took him back out. Beat him again, and put him back in until he was burnt alive. I did nothing to stop it. I suppose I could have brandished my weapon or shot in the air, but I was not inclined to do so. Does that make me an accomplice to murder?"
