Default AW: This must be said!

I don't know if anyone is familiar with this statement by Col. Ernest F. Fisher, (PhD Lt., 101 st Airborne Division, Senior Historian, United States Army):

"Starting in April 1945, the United States Army and the French Army casually annihilated one million [German] men, most of them in American camps . . . Eisenhower's hatred, passed through the lens of a compliant military bureaucracy, produced the horror of death camps unequalled by anything in American history . . . an enormous war crime."

I can say I hold respect for him just for acknowledging the faults of his people, unlike the majority of American historians that praise men like Churchill and Eisenhower. Germans may have committed crimes themselves, after all there is hardly any people that didn't shed blood throughout history, but to kill so many innocent beings and then not even have the common sense to admit it, not trying to aid their families in any way, while in change asking for war reparations from the victims themselves is a complete fraud.
