Because by the time we reached 6th June 1944 [D-Day] most of us were beginning to become aware of what was happening in n**i Occupied Europe.  In particular we were beginning to find out what had happened and was still happening to the millions of European Jews.

The truth of the Holocaust was not quiet yet known to us, but we were beginning to find out and the Jewish soldier on seeing the n**i Hitler Youth 'dagger', would be all to aware of it's true meaning.

I watched an episode of the 1970s TV series, "The World at War", narrated by Laurence Olivier, in which a survivor of the Holocaust told us his story and how he managed to escape from one of the cattle wagons taking him and hundreds of other Berlin Jews to Auschwitz.  He is the only known survivor from that train.  Everone onboard was driven straight to Auschwitz and gassed on arrival.

A liberator of one n**i Death camp tells his story.
