The allied clearing effort of the camps involved not only digging up the mass graves located at the camps, but re-burying them in layers to catalog them, because there were too many to throw into one pit. Normally this mean moving piles of bodies with bulldozers (see 28:24). Infamously some allied troops decided to force German civilians to remove the bodies by hand. And again, those were at the camps themselves. During the liberation of Dachau, the Allies came upon an abandoned train where prisoners were simply left to die from from the elements because it couldn't be evacuated to another facility in time. They counted over 2,000 bodies, pouring out of the trains when they opened the doors
And again, these are just the camps. Eastern Europe is littered with mass grave sites. Particularly in Ukraine, where most of the mass killings were preformed by proxies, partisans, Einsatzgruppen, Schutzmannschaften, and the infamous Dirlewanger Brigade.
Now, here's my question. Why would you be so stupid as to think a people who place all of the worlds problems on a single group of people, and firmly believe in collective punishment, wouldn't exterminate a people they thought personally responsible for all civilizational decline in human history?
Literally all over the place.
