The author quotes sources stating there were no Gas Chambers at Dachau in 1945,1 was a Young Buck sergeant in Gen. George Patton a 3rd army coming across Germany. I did not witness the taking of Dachau concentration Camp but at the end of the War my unit was assigned to Munich and i visited the Camp. The bodies were gone since the Camp had been cleaned up by the residents of Dachau on the orders of the . Forces. Outside the Camp in a tent Encampment surrounded by barbed wire were the former is guards awaiting Denali fiction trials. Inside All the Barracks and the administration buildings still stood a and at the far end of the Camp As now stood the Brick crematorium with its tall Chimney. Connected to the crematorium was a dressing room and a Gas chamber with the a chilling sign a a Duscher Shower Over the door the Gas containers shipped from la Farben were still sitting there inside by the now cold ovens was a pile of ashes and a group of Clay pots. We were told by our guide a former Camp inhabitant that the ashes were indiscriminately placed in the pots and returned to relatives for a fee. Lire reasons for death were Given As tuberculosis flu or a shot while trying to  of course the Camp administration did not worry about the jewish relatives but Dachau housed Many Liberal Catholic and lutheran germans a history indicates cruelty is not exclusive to any group of human beings from the exquisite chinese tortures of Antiquity the hordes of Genghis Khan the tortures of the inquisition to the present inhumanity in Croatia and Somalia. Unfortunately people of evil intent have always found someone to do their cruelty for them. It behoves us who abhor such action to be constantly Alert to loss of Liberty by anyone and to stay Strong to be Able to defend against the bullies of the human race. A Ben Kerns. Furth Germany no reruns on an this is in response to the letter from the writer in Balik Esir Turkey who recently complained about television series reruns and an alleged policy change regarding live airings of monday night football. For the record an is not airing reruns of television series. Such programs Are not shipped to us by the armed forces radio and television service. If the writer will furnish us specific titles and dates we will try to determine what he is talking about. Our address is he an unit 25702, Apo a 09242, attn program director. Monday night football has been televised live at 3 . Central european time All season. We suspect the writer May have been looking at the an Central Europe time schedule in the sunday paper instead of the schedule for Turkey. Since Turkey is one hour ahead of Central european time if he tuned in at 3 . Turkey time he would be seeing the 2 . Programming i.e., late night with Pavid Letterman. That might explain the confusion. We Hope this clears it up for the writer and other viewers. Also As a reminder the schedule printed in the sunday stars and stripes is furnished several Days in Advance due to printing deadlines. As noted in the paper its subject to change and when changes occur they Are announced As soon As possible on radio and television. A capt. Gary r.

Your consistently biased Blanket endorsement of this sport is shallow and disappointing. The perpetual excuse that Hunters give for their reason to Hunt overpopulation is inaccurate and erroneous. Natural predators of the species that Hunters wish to kill Are eradicated either through game management or a $30 million tax funded predator control program. Millions of wolves snakes eagles Mountain Lions and coyotes Are destroyed annually thus stimulating Breeding and birth rates of herbivorous animals. Natural predators keep their prey species Strong by targeting Only the weakest and sickest members. Hunters seek out ones that Are most colourful have the most impressive rack or Are nearest in proximity. I have yet to read a stars and stripes nine Page feature on efforts to preserve the environment such As programs to save the endangered Florida Panther Stop the illegal Ivory Trade or prevent rain Forest destruction. I am disgusted that your editors find this subject so engrossing and worthy of continual promulgation. Please cancel my subscription. A Susan Armstead Hanau German Lack of conservatives in a a great fan of the stars and stripes but in a concerned by the Lack of conservative editorial columns. Lets take the sunday Magazine for example. We have Clarence Page who generally writes from the Liberal Point of View. Fortunately he is intelligent and thus Worth Reading. Then there is Linda Ellerbee who alternates Between snivelling about conservative republicans and glorifying left Wing socialist Type personalities. Please if you can to dump her at least give us a counterpart conservative version. There Are plenty to choose from. We Are amused by Many non partisan writers such As Erma Bombeck Andy Rooney miss manners Dave Barry Walter Scott James Kilpatrick Tony Kornheiser and some might argue Joe Bob Briggs. We even get William Safire but Only on language a never politics and As Good As his language is his politics Are better. Occasionally we get a be our guest column which gives a right Wing Point of View but that is the extent of it. Why done to you know your audience read your own letters to the editor column and you la find every Point of View a Diane Berkey Karlsruhe  Market error i and most of my friends look Forward to your to thursday edition because of the. Stripes Magazine. We find the travel tips a very Good Way to discover new things to see in and around Germany. But recently you did not do your Normal Good Job. The article on  Christmas Market would have been very Nice if it had been accurate. I wonder How. Many people decided not to visit the Heidelberg Market because a Dorily about a dozen Booths Are there this  reporter stated that this Small Market was at the Edge of the shopping District. It is a shame she did not investigate that District because 300 meters Down the Street she would have discovered the main Christmas Market. There she would have found approximately 60 More Booths Selling everything you can imagine As Well As a Large Carousel for the children. Even better is the fact that a City parking garage is Only a few meters away. Keep up the Good work but when you write about a City make sure you Check your facts a Richard a. Roane. Heidelberg Germany some false information on the Issue of whether homosexuality should be allowed into the armed forces the letter a a perversion period . 30 was filled with untrue information. The writer states that Quot if homosexuality were natural it would be seen in the animal kingdom. Animals Are incapable of homosexual gratification because of their inability to choose sexual gratification for gratification  this is patently false. According to Bruce Fogle noted veterinary surgeon and author of the Book Gaines pets play Many animals especially dogs sexually proposition other animals and people. If people want to Gay Bash they should admit they Are doing so because they Are afraid of being propositioned by a Gay person. Sexual harassment is wrong whether it comes from the opposite sex or from someone of the same sex. Capt. Melissa t. Miller. Mannheim German Liberal ideas about Gays i am really tired of hearing All of to Liberal ideas about Gays being in the i tary. Whether they Are allowed to be the military or not there is still som thing wrong with being Gay. I am a Bla Man Well educated in afro americ history. To set the record straight Bla people were not discriminated Agair because they were Black per be. Our d Crim nation was the result of major class ignorance because there is not i wrong with being Black. So please it trying to fabricate ideas for Gays being the military while using Black people 1 justification. The two Are worlds Apa by the Way i am not anti Gay or anti a Bian.
