If u out had put me in a tank in 1942, by 1945 I'd be a psychopath.
A friend of mine was in the 36th and during the occupation he had a German girlfriend. During this time the Allen were rounding up Nazis. She told him when things were going well they were ALL Nazis.
I remember going through ' The Epic of the 101st' with one of the vets. In it is a photo of an SSI officer practicing his pistol shooting by using Jew babies as a tossed aerial target. He called them Nazis, said they were bad people but not much on how they handled them.
Not many US forces actually engaged in combat with SS units, so they may have a different opinion of how to deal with the SS.
