Chester zum Brunnen

"have a Nazi concentration camp here, and it is the most horrible, revolting sight possible.  It is impossible to imagine the atrocities that have been committed, the filth that the inmates died in.  Huge stacks of nude bodies lay all over the grounds in various stages of decomposition, filling the air for miles around with a terrible odor. We could smell it from miles away as we approached it, and then with the scared German villagers professing that they never knew what was going on. The barracks are huge affairs filled with bunks. In each and every bunk lies a human body - nothing more than skin and bones.  It was fully five minutes before I realized that 50 percent of the 'bodies' were alive.  The only indication of life was the feeble movement of their lips."

- Private First Class, Chester zum Brunnen. Salisbury, NC
