Ëlmer now told us to stay close by and be available to complete a report. In the meantime, we had a thorough walk around the camp and scrutinized everything very carefully!
Firstly, we came across two funny fellows throwing combat knives into a board. They were standing at the bottom of where a watchtower had once stood and were very near to where I had once stood eating Beech nuts which was also close to where the S.A.S. had been shot!
We were unarmed as we had been asked to surrender all weapons to the new Camp Commandent from the U.S.A. I said to Antonio, "I think those two are former S.S. and it is better if we make a hasty retreat as they are not Americans at all"! They hardly spoke to us!
Later on the British did find the S.S. member Koch, former Commandent of Buchenwald. Apparently, he was hiding and disguised in a prisoner of war camp! Ilse, Koch's wife was found to be pregnant and given amnesty.
So much for that! No doubt, they were living it up somewhere after the war! The leniency of our judicial system and courts have become our downfall and maybe what I don't know yet????!!!!!
We cannot change thinking; we certainly have not found a cure for the wrong doings of people all over the world! To me, we seemed to have developed a kind of upside down psychology.
No matter how many books are written!
There is not, as far as I know, any real proof or truth in any of the new philosophies in relation to psychology. This new "science" is certainly in a favored position in relation to acceptability and having the opportunity, at this moment in time, to do a lot of writing and analysis on the subject!
Until we can change our primitive minds and construction of our brains or psychological makeup - I cannot see how we can do anything about it at all.
This is my theory on the subject based on conclusions I have made after what I saw in Aushwitz and Buchenwald as well as from my other life experiences. It is the only thing that seems to have any reality for me the rest is all humbug!!!
