The irony is that the the Holocaust was actually hidden to much of the German populace and most of the heinous war crimes were only uncovered after the Genocide was over.

At least we now know that even with full knowledge of what happened in Germany most people would still have supported their "lesser evil" Fuhrer.

US forces liberated the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany in April 1945. Here, US soldiers escort German civilians from the nearby town of Weimar through the Buchenwald camp. The American liberating troops had a policy of forcing German civilians to view the atrocities committed in the camps.

Indeed but it was after the Nazis already lost.
