How so? Has there been an era in US history since WW2 when the results of this story would have been any different? 1955? 1965? 1975? Let's say you laud "the good old days" of the 1950's no PC back then, " the I like IKE" era, I'd wager if this story had hit back then the backlash would have been even greater from the millions of US vets who had served and lost buddies in the ETO.
You might be too young to recall the heat Ronald Reagan took for just placing flowers in a Bitburg cemetery where some of the interned were SS soldiers.
