My grandfather was in a POW camp near one at the end of the war. He was being transferred to a field hospital for ulcers and saw one himself as well as a couple of atrocities. He wrote about them in his diary. Never spoke of them. I believe it happened but idk at what order of magnitude
Is it possible? Sure. If that’s the case he had a strange postwar mission to convince one lonely kid who sat with him at a VFW bar in a tiny little town. And listened on the few occasions the old man opened up and told stories from the war.
What if his only sworn duty was information warfare?
