I’m a sucker for the classic musicals. Give me the Baroness and Shirley Jones in the Music Man.

True. Dachau was primarily a work camp though. It only saw like 30-40,000 deaths. Auschwitz and some of the other extermination camps saw over a million. Dachau was also the training facilities for the SS, so it was guarded closely and relatively secretive.
I'm a person from the South who is glad the South lost the Civil War, but almost every Southerner I know hates my opinions about such matters.
Thinking of all the options…… probably the best. Although Tyrant would be fun.
How about Adi Dassler’s friend? No, not Kanye.
The life story would make an incredible documentary. The details are phenomenal.

I was stationed in Erlangen, Germany with the US Army from 1978-1981 and we were told that it is best not to discus this subject with the Germans. Now the time period that I was there was much closer to the time of WWII than today, and also at that time there was still an East Germany and West Germany.
I was on a Viking River Cruise in November a few years ago. A young lady wished our Cruise Director Happy Veterans Day. His reply, "Thank you. But we do not celebrate. We lost the wars." I had to chuckle a little.
The other thing he pointed out was the veteran cemeteries in Germany. They are not treated with the same reverence as here is America. Several I saw were over-grown and lacked few memorials.

It was the same in East Germany, the Soviet Union, Poland & every other country behind the iron curtain. Everyone there knew what was going on with the Stasi, KGB, the Lubyanka, the gulags, the blatant corruption, etc, but they were so afraid they would be "disappeared" they kept their heads down & their mouths shut & hoped to not hear someone beat on their door in the middle of the night.
THIS. Growing up in the rural South, I'm not sure I ever saw a Southerner that was glad the South lost. Ask a Southerner if they are glad they lost the Civil War:

Seems the OP was trolling the heritage not hate crowd and thread did not go as planned.
As Wise man Ricky Bobby would say
IF YOU AIN’T FIRST YOU IS LAST
IN WAR COMING IN SECOND DOES NOT COUNT
I heard that they did not lose , but got tired of the knats and mosquitoes
Not sure I’ve ever met one who cared. Certainly haven’t met one that was pissed the south lost. Born and raised in the southeast and came back/live here now.
