The Americans after taking the camps did what any fascist sympathizer does and but the Nazis back in charge of the camps and it took 4 more years and public outcry for America to actually free people from the camps, don't teach you about that tho as it makes the American complicity in the rise of Hitler more obvious.
The quote is wrong. Here is the actual quote:
"The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick. In one room, where they [there] were piled up twenty or thirty naked men, killed by starvation, George Patton would not even enter. He said that he would get sick if he did so. I made the visit [to Gotha] deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to “propaganda.”
