Why Patton Forced the "Rich & Famous" German Citizens to Walk Through Buchenwald

The citizens of Weimar lived in luxury just 5 miles from Buchenwald, yet they claimed they "knew nothing." General Patton decided to teach them a lesson they would never forget. On April 16, 1945, American soldiers rounded up 1,000 of the wealthiest and most influential citizens of Weimar—bankers, doctors, and their wives in fur coats. They were marched at gunpoint up the hill to Buchenwald Concentration Camp.
