A former G I posted a message on the Germany History Board on the Internet on July 18, 1999, and we invited comments from our visitors.

I was interested to see your article concerning the testimony of a former GI concerning the construction of an "enlarged" crematorium after the war. Is this unique, or are there reports of further post war constructions at other camp sites that you are aware of?

I await further development son your website with much interest!

YES, you will find if you research that the gas chamber shown to tourists at Auschwitz was built by the Poles in 1948. They now admit this: http://www.fpp.co.uk/Auschwitz/docs/Conan.html#fake

• Now see: Albert Doyle's own investigations into the Dachau massacre and visit the site put up about Sgt. William Heller, US war photographer: this includes one close-up photos of German soldiers shot at the wall.
• Further information on the postwar construction of the Dachau crematoria
• B Csatary's letter which started the controversy
• For further photographs of what they call the "excecutions" at Dachau, visit the US Holocaust Memorial Museum website.
• US Holocaust museum confirms there were never any working gas chambers in Dachau and no people were gassed there.
• Book "The Rock of Anzio: The 45th Infantry Division in World War II" by Flint Whitlock describes liberation of Dachau camp, 1945.
