: I guess you still blame the German people also . Grow up and get a life

I seem to recall that General Motors was able to succesfully sue the US Government for reparations to their German factories bombed by the RAF and USAF during WW 2.

One rather unpleasant point about the gas chambers is that while the USA and the USSR ran around looking for rocket scientists in the chaos after the fall of Germany, Great Britain sent scientists in to the camps to find out as much detail as possible of the experiments and toxins used. Then we built our own stockpiles from the recipes (Porton Down et al.). Let's not forget that the concentration camp was, of course, a British invention.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
