The Rheinwiesenlager flip is brutal and necessary to expose. Open fields, no shelter, barbed wire, Germans (soldiers and civilians) digging holes to survive the elements while rations were deliberately restricted under Eisenhower's command. Post-surrender, spring 1945 into '46, hundreds of thousands held in those meadow camps. Exposure, starvation, disease. The contrast is glaring: German camps collapsing under bombing-disrupted supplies and typhus get turned into the eternal industrial horror exhibit. Allied versions of worse logistical cruelty get memory-holed or framed as unfortunate necessities.
