One was a German Panzer driver-a very much respected soldier of WWII.
Anyway-if you ever get the chance you gotta visit Germany.

I have been to Germany... Several times, actually. I was an exchange student in Germany and loved it. I have visited Dachau as well.

"Arbeit Macht Frei" means "Work makes you free." I don't remember seeing this in Dachau, but I know they have this in Oswiecim, Poland at the Auschwitz and Birkenau Concentration camps.
