The US President who died was Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Harry S. Truman was his Vice President who succeeded him.

Do The Patriot - it's a great Mel Gibson movie

Just for some additional clarity, the troops who shot the surrendered German soldiers were French. The French had been occupied by Germany for about 4+ years.

"While Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower had studied his World War II enemy, he was unprepared for the Nazi brutality he witnessed at Ohrdruf concentration camp in April 1945. Bodies were piled like wood and living skeletons struggled to survive. Even as the Allied Forces continued their fight, Eisenhower foresaw a day when the horrors of the Holocaust might be denied. He invited the media to document the scene. He compelled Germans living in the surrounding towns and any soldier not fighting at the front to witness the atrocities for themselves.

Eisenhower was right. There are people in the U.S. right now who say this didn't happen. Labor & extermination camps in the USSR and PRC have also killed millions of people, but a lot of Americans are politically sympathetic to those countries, so they pretend it didn't happen. Madness and evil can take over a country, and I don't think any country is immune.

The US had its share of extermination camps too. Let's not forget that the USA spent over a century committing genocide on its indigenous population (including the use of biological warfare), and spent its first 90 years enslaving black people.

The us did not enslave black people other black people enslaved them the US spent 90 years trying to end slavery. They passed laws preventing geting new slaves from africa.The bio warfare thing is a lie only uneducated people belive since people did not know about microorganisms back then kinda hard to do bio warfare .people thought bad oders made you sick. the majority of Indians did die to illness not genocide it was regular person to person Contact cuz they had no imunity white people also died from indian sicknesses as well .usa did not have many Indians to begin with most were in mexico. we sided with some tribes and fought others that's war.

It's quite well documented how we gave blankets contaminated by smallpox victims to Native American, and the US broke almpst evry treaty we made with them. Children were stolen from their families, and raised in horrifically abusive "Indian Schools" in order to "kill the Indian, save the man". Many of those kids were killed and buried on school property, with no repercussions. Bison were exterminated in order to starve the tribes into submission, steal their land, and force them onto reservations on the worst land that nobody else wanted. We even stole Oklahoma after telling them it was "Iindian Territory". BTW, the number of slaves in the South was increasing up to the beginning of the Civil War, and the so-called "States Rights" southerners were demanding that their laws about escaped slaves be enforce in free states. The only reason that the South wasn't getting more slaves from Africa is because the British enforced the ban on slavery with naval patrols seizing slave ships. The south was more than happy to start kidnapping free blacks in other states, and enslaving them in the south.

I assume Chris W is trying to use semantics to hide an obvious lie. Did the physical country capture free Black people? Obviously not. Did U.S. Federal agents go to Africa and capture Black people themselves? No, probably not. Did white people in the United States, with Federal laws and state laws both approving and not dis-approving it, enslave Black people? YES. OBVIOUSLY. IT DOES NOT REQUIRE THAT THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT PHYSICALLY PARTICIPATE in the enslavement for the U.S. (the term used colloquially to reference the country and its residents) to have been guilty of that enslavement. Yes, some members of some African tribes would kidnap other Africans and sell them to white slavers. Some white slavers would kidnap Africans themselves, and would hire Black Africans to kidnap other Black Africans. The white slavers would sell those enslaved people to other (almost exclusively) white residents of the Americas. In 1776, the thirteen colonies became the United States of America. At that point, any enslavement in the U.S. (especially including the automatic enslavement of the children born to enslaved Black people already in the United States) was an act of "The US" as Prometheus phrased it. Don't parade your attempt to alter historical truth to fit a racist anti-truth agenda without expecting your lies to be called out. P.S. None of the native peoples of the continents of the western hemisphere were from India. They were therefore NOT "indians."

They knew. Casablanca came out three years before we reached this part of WW2 and even then they were talking about concentration camps in the movie. Maybe they didn't know to this extent, but they knew about how the Nazis relied on slave labor (as did the Japanese). As Webster said when he pulled a pistol on the baker: "What you can't smell the camp from here?" Anyway. It was wars like these that led the US to becoming a superpower and championing Western Democracy through nation-building. Sometimes with kids gloves, and sometimes with a whip as was the case in Vietnam (and look how that backfired). We also supported Israel for the longest time (still do) and look how that's also backfiring. America has lost any moral high ground we once had. But we should try to remember the things we got right, and ensure we look back on all history and how we got here through a clear lens. Not one that has been revised in order to make us look good.

Great to see your interest in history. Re "The Jewish Question" there is a great documentary on this subject: "Simon Schama: The Holocaust, 80 Years On". Hope you can find the time to check it out.

Watch "Simon Schama Holocaust, 80 Years On" for more insight into the subject of this episode.
