In line with the above subject re the finding of the Nazi camps and the liberation of the prisoners: I have a memory in my head from a black and white newsreel that was only about a week old at the time I saw it showing an American general emerging from one of those camps with his staff, et al., and he was crying. You could clearly see the white handkerchief which he was holding to his eyes and making no attempt to hide it. For a man to be seen crying in those days was considered highly unusual and not bothering to hide that from the camera only made it all the more unusual. Especially, a general. Later, when I got older I often imagined that this man was Patton but I don't really know who he was. I was only 6-1/2 at the time. Would any of you WWII history buffs know the answer to the question of just who this American general was? It would really be gratifying for me to put this mental image away in the docket where it belongs.
