Band of Brothers: Part nine

Why We Fight?


April 11, 1945 Thalem, Germany. One month earlier Sturzelberg, Germany. The regiment just arrives in Sturzelberg Germany and waits for orders to jump in Berlin. Then they got news that 300.000 of German army are surrender and then they move out to Alps.

When the regiment is on the way to Alps, they meet without stopping the German’s army. After the regiment arrives at Alps, Major Winters give an order to patrol. Dog Company is patrolling in the town then Easy and Fox Company in the woods. When Easy Company is in the middle of patrol they found a camp. A worker camp. Many of them were killed by the Germans.

Major Winters give an order to taking care of them. According to the division, they found camp like this all over the German and Russia found the lot worse, ten times big, execution chamber and ovens. A local claims the camp existence. General Tailors declare marshal law and give an order to everybody in town that 14 to 80 starts barring the dead body and ten armories can supervise the cleanup.

During the following moths, Allied Forces discovered numerous POW, concentration and death camps.

These camps were part of the Nazi attempt to affect the ‘Final Solution’ to the ‘Jewish Question.’

Between 1942 and 1945 five million ethnic minorities and six million Jews were murdered – many of them in the camps.
