7. KOCEVSKI TOG MASSACRE-- The murder of POWs and Non-Combatants in May 1945 by Allied Yugoslav partisans. Up to 12,000 thrown into pits and caves and sealed by explosions.
6. DACHAU MASSACRE-- When concentration camp was liberated and with the sight of thousands of decomposing bodies, U.S. soldiers began summarily executing unarmed SS guards. Plus, the inmates were reported to have beaten to death as many as 50 of them.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
