David notes:
"I believe President Ronald Wilson Reagan, surely an auteur in life if not
in movies, once told a puzzled audience that he had been among the first
American troops to enter Auschwitz, with an Army documentary film unit."

If he did so, it was another of those bits of "creative" history that he
was so prone to.  Reagan was cozily stateside for most, if not all, the war,
working on supposed propaganda stuff.

And then he went and honored those dead SS "victims" of the war!
