To be frank, it would be hard to siphon out truth from fiction at this point from personal accounts. That said, of course I distinguish between a forced Nazi accomplice and a sympathizer. I am not suggesting that they should be treated the same. I am suggesting that the U.S. was so zealous in its efforts to defeat the Russians that it wasn't making distinctions.

didn't Hitler get the idea of concentration camps from the US?

I think you are idolizing US in this a bit too much, they weren't exactly much better than the nazis.

I mean I know for sure Eugenics were a popular idea in the US during that time, PoC were treated terribly etc.
