"It Smells Like Death" — The Dark Secret Patton Forced Germany's Elite to Walk Through Buchenwald

#ww2 #buchenwald #history April 1945. Weimar, Germany. A woman in a fur coat sits at a café near the market square. She is drinking real coffee. A worn volume of Goethe lies on the table beside her cup. Outside, American tanks roll slowly down Schillerstrasse. She watches them without fear. Without guilt. She is certain of one thing. She has done nothing wrong. Two days later, an American soldier is pointing at something and telling her to look. She doesn't want to look. He tells her again. This time, he isn't asking. In today's video, we look at the Buchenwald Parade of Shame — the day General George Patton forced one thousand of Weimar's most educated citizens to confront what had been happening eight kilometers from their homes. Keep watching to see why Patton specifically targeted professors, lawyers, and doctors instead of ordinary workers, what the citizens of Germany's most cultured city claimed they didn't know, and what a former prisoner said to a well-dressed banker that brought him to his knees in the mud.
