Held at Batajnica air base near Belgrade on 2 September, the Serbian air force's centennial air show attracted visiting aircraft from Russia and the Italian and US air forces, along with flight demonstrations involving the host nation's assets.
Highlights included a formation of five of the Serbian air force's newly-delivered Utva Lasta trainers, a tactical demonstration involving four Soko J-22 Oraos and six Soko G-4 Super Galebs, and a mock dogfight involving two RAC MiG-29s and a MiG-21, along with solo displays.
Igor Salinger
On the ground, former adversaries in 1999's Allied Force conflict lined up side by side, with a USAF Lockheed Martin F-16C from Aviano AFB in Italy parked alongside a Serbian air force MiG-29.
With future procurement needs in mind, the event also attracted Airbus Military, Eurocopter, Eurofighter and MDBA.

There are a few story lines attached to Sunday's Jets/Dolphins game. We all know that a Dolphins win would eliminate the Jets from playoff contention and that a win or loss will affect the Dolphins draft pick.
The other story line is how it will affect the Dolphins 2012 schedule. 14 of the 16 games are locked in place, but two of the opponents are still to be determined. Assuming the Dolphins win and the Bills lose, the Dolphins will travel to Cincinnati and host either the Chargers or Chiefs. Currently the Chargers are third in the AFC West and the Chiefs fourth, but they can swap spots if the Chiefs win and Chargers lose on Sunday. If the Dolphins win and the Bills win, or the Dolphins lose, they will travel to Cleveland and host either the Chargers or Chiefs.
Which combination would you guys rather on the schedule?

At Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference last week, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster surveyed 100 developers on how they look at the various mobile OS platforms – iOS, Android, BlackBerry OS and Windows Phone. The conclusion: they like Apple best.
Of the 100 developers surveyed, 55 also built apps for Android. Among the group that work with both platforms, Munster writes, "iOS was the clear favorite in two categories: ease of development and future revenue growth."
Among the 55 developers who work with both operating systems, 84% said iOS was best for ease of development, with Android at 5%, Windows at 2% and 9% unsure.
On the question of what platform has the highest future revenue potential. 64% cited iOS, 5% said Android and the rest were undecided or did not feel comfortable answering the question.
Munster notes that of the iOS developers surveyed, 55% also develop on Android, 14% on Windows and 9% on BlackBerry. Last year, a similar survey found 47% also developing on Android, 36% on BlackBerry and 13% on Windows.

Leptitrex Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Leptitrex is touted on the product website as helping you lose seven pounds in seven days. The website also goes through what it calls "Six Proprietary Matrixes" that are the keys to weight loss success. What these matrixes consist of are ingredients – and lots of them – promising to nourish the body, boost energy and motivation, burn fat and detoxify. This product also claims to be able to treat acne and stop the aging process in its tracks. All these promises seem to be a pretty tall order for a single diet supplement, but we will evaluate the information available for Leptitrex to see if it really can deliver.
List of Ingredients
We are a bit overwhelmed with the sheer number of ingredients found in Leptitrex; 48 to be exact. See the official Leptitrex site for full details.
Product Features
The first set of ingredients in Leptitrex consists of the vitamins and minerals, which make for a healthy supplementation but don't do much in the area of weight loss. The next "matrix" is a Euphoric Fat Burning Matrix. This formula includes chocolate derivatives like chocomine and PEA that are said to promote feelings of euphoria while burning fat. While there may be some truth to this claim, we highly doubt the results will be as dramatic as this product promises.
Another Leptitrex matrix claims to detoxify the body with ingredients like dandelion root. The product website states that taking toxins out of the liver will allow this organ to burn fat more efficiently. While detoxification can be a healthy process for the body, there is no evidence to suggest that the herbs offered here will achieve the desired effect. Yet another matrix offers a blend of the ten famous "super foods" revealed by Dr. Nicholas Perricone. Unfortunately, it does not look to us like there are enough of these substances found in this supplement to have much positive effect.
The company website also claims that Leptitrex will help users build muscle while it burns fat. The problem with this theory is that in order to build muscle mass, you will need to feed the muscles – with calorie-rich protein foods. In fact, when you are increasing muscle mass, you will probably increase pounds as well, since muscle weighs even more than fat. This is precisely why most folks will not try to perform both of these functions (losing weight and building muscle) simultaneously.
- Leptitrex does include some effective weight loss ingredients.
- The company offers a full money back guarantee on every purchase.
- So many ingredients included in Leptitrex make us wonder about the potency of any of them.
- The product claims to perform too many functions in a single supplement.
- There is not sufficient clinical evidence offered online to support many of this product's claims.
This company appears to be relying on many ingredients and grandiose claims to sell a very unfocused product. While there are some ingredients in the Leptitrex formula that may provide some positive benefits, we are highly skeptical about whether this supplement can make good on most of its weight loss promises.

Other fests, other events, 9/7."Is Incest Best? Mumblecore & American Independent Cinema" is the name of a panel Alex Lipschultz is moderating this evening in Seattle as part of the Northwest Film Forum's Mumble Without a Cause series running through October 3. Helping him come up with an answer will be Mark Duplass, Aaron Katz and Lynn Shelton. The full lineup for Austin's Fantastic Fest is now locked and loaded. September 20 through 27. Via Quint at AICN. At indieWIRE, Anthony Kaufman presents an annotated shortlist of films from around the world premiering this fall: "[T]hey'll be the ones that buyers, critics and journalists will be checking off their lists." For the Reeler, Mat Newman talks with Anne Morra, assistant film curator at MoMA, about A Sense of Where You Are, a series focusing on the "profound affect of geography on film." Sunday through September 30. Also, ST VanAirsdale gets early word on what'll be in the Woodstock Film Festival lineup this year. October 10 through 14. "Even now, no one seems quite sure how the film got started.... Hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars later, things have worked out: Bending Space: Georges Rousse and the Durham Project premieres this Monday, Sept 10, at the Carolina Theatre in downtown Durham." Gerry Canavan tells the story in the Independent Weekly. Michael Z Newman isn't all that wild about film festivals (and explains why), but "I have decided to throw myself into this year's [Milwaukee International Film Festival], to give it a real chance, and catch up with some of the international cinema that has been touring the circuit. Now the hard part: choosing what to see." September 20 through 30. October will be the Pioneer Theater's "Fourth Annual Month of Horror, Terror, and General Mayhem." Nathan Carley caught the traveling Bicycle Film Festival in August and writes it up in Stop Smiling.

Chemical Industry Weekly Innovation News Round-up, Sept. 23
11:05 AM MDT | September 23, 2011 | By ALEX SCOTT
Some interesting new technologies have come to light this week, although the key story and something that could have a significant impact on the world stage across the chemical industry and beyond in recent days is that the U.S. has taken steps to overhaul its patent law. Streamlining of U.S. patent law and eliminating the 'first to invent test' is something that the chemical industry has been pressing for a number of years.
CW's Rebeccah Coons tracks the trend of biotech firms advancing IPO plans with a story about Renewable fuels firm Mascoma (Lebanon, NH) filing for an IPO worth up to $100 million.
Also on the biotech front Protéus (Nimes, France), a biotech firm and subsidiary of PCAS (Longjumeau, France) has successfully completed a development milestone in a project for Syngenta to optimize enzymes designed to be used with sugar cane crops.
Catalysts are at the heart of a new technology by H.C. Starck and the Clausthaler Umwelttechnik-Institut (Cutec; Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany), a technology institute. The two organizations have jointly developed a novel family of catalysts along with a process technology for generating substitute natural gas from biomass. Another technology operating in the same technology field is a development by Electrochaea (St. Louis, MMO), a start-up firm which says it plans to begin industrial-scale testing of a proprietary anaerobic technology that converts waste CO2 and excess electric power and water into oxygen and usable, storable energy in the form of methane. Chemical solutions certainly are starting to close in on the energy storage issues that are set to emerge with the introduction of renewable energy systems such as wind power and solar. Another field detailed recently in the innovation round-up is the development of flow batteries.
Meanwhile, a study by U.S. researchers has identified that people exposed to nanotubes at relatively low levels could experience damage to their cell linings. The concern is that this could cause urine to leak back into the bloodstream.

Guns stolen from a Bryan store are now being picked up by authorities to the south.
So far, four of the 80 weapons stolen from the Great Texas Gun Company have been recovered in three different incidents in Nueces County.
Back on December 17, at least five people got in to the store off Highway 21 east of Bryan, took the rifles and handguns and left. Who committed the crime remains a mystery, but just 18 days later, one of those guns was picked up in Reno, Nevada. The man holding it, Mark Mechikoff, was arrested after making a disturbance.
According to Corpus Christi Police, a second weapons was recovered during a traffic stop in nearby Robstown. Then, on June 16, CCPD was called to a complaint of a gun being discharged. No one was injured, but the weapon in question was from the Bryan store.
Then on July 5, also in Corpus, there was a standoff with police that ended with five arrests and thousands of dollars worth of drugs being recovered, along with guns. Some were stolen out of Corpus, but two had been taken from the Great Texas Gun Company.
In addition to a $1,000 reward being offered by Brazos County Crime Stoppers, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is now offering a $5,000 reward of its own.

Recipe by Julie Abrahamson
"Meat loaf using tender veal."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale

Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
2 pounds
ground veal
eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup
dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup
warm water
1 (1 ounce) envelope
dry onion soup mix
2 large
carrots, grated
1 pint
shiitake mushrooms, sliced
Very nice flavour from the veal and mushrooms and beautifully moist. But I think I'll try it with fresh onions next time. Just something about the dried soup mix that didn't seem quite right - maybe it's the brand I used. Will definitely make again, though - so many thanks for the recipe.
I found this recipe rather bland. I won't make it again.
14 Ratings
I only had one pound of veal so I cut it in half, and I didn't use onion soup mix. Instead I chopped up half an onion and threw in some garlic and some sea salt. I also misread the recipe and ended up using "flavored" (not Italian seasoned it has a milder more subtle flavor) breadcrumbs by a company called Jason. My husband Mike is usually a big fan of mushrooms, but he felt they were unnecessary in this dish. Before he tried it he asked if he was going to want to put ketchup on it. He ended up eating his whole portion by itself, so I'm taking that as a good sign. I really liked it, and I'll definitely be making this again.
Very sophisticated for meat loaf. All the adults ate this up; the children were less enthusiastic. The grated carrots and shitake mushrooms kept the meat moist and flavorfull. Highly recommend!
My new favorite meatloaf recipe. I did add a tablespoon of worcestershire.
Very moist and yum!
I usually make meat loaf using italian seasoning. But this time, I followed this recipe to the tee and it comes out perfect! I love the taste of shiitake mushrooms. thanks much!
I like this one very much. The shitake's make such a great addition. I think next time I'll add fresh chopped onion, (more) fresh chopped garlic and some uncooked oats for texture. Very easy preparation.

I just wrapped up my Nokia Lumia 710 review, and right now I'm using the Nokia Lumia 800 as my main phone. At the same time, I'm fiddling with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in preparation for that review. So as you can tell… my hands are full. But really this isn't a complaint, more like a mobile fanatics dream come true! There will be plenty of side by side galleries coming up, but for now take a look at some of these standalone closeup shots I took of the Nokia Lumia 800.
Nokia has a real gem with this design. Taken from the N9, it will be used on all their high-end Windows Phone devices including the upcoming Nokia Lumia 900 for AT&T.
Shop: The Nokia Lumia 800 is available for $499 at Amazon (US unlocked) or free at Carphone Warehouse (Europe w/ contract).

Born in New Orleans in 1923, she was reared in Madisonville, Louisiana, where her culinary education began. There she did everything possible to stay out of the kitchen, but with ten other children in the family that was difficult. As her mother and sister prepared meals with a rich variety of homegrown vegetables, she gained her culinary knowledge. In 1942 Chase found herself waiting tables in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It was her first time inside a restaurant since there were no restaurants serving Blacks. During that time Chase decided that she wanted to own her own restaurant.
As her restaurant blossomed, Chase found herself in the kitchen as well as managing. Her creative cuisine and legendary Creole gumbo made Dooky Chase a national treasure. Chase uses her skill and experience to unify the cultures of the French, the Spanish, the Native American, and the African to create Creole and Cajun cuisine. This master chef states that in addition to these cultures, "You have to put all your love in that pot."
A civic leader, Chase is involved with housing projects and homeless shelters. She is a former board member of the New Orleans Museum of Art, the New Orleans Symphony, the New Orleans City Ballet, the Urban League of Greater New Orleans, and the Coalition of 100 Black Women. Chase was featured in Brian Lanker's book I Dream A World: Portraits of Black Women Who Changed America (1989). She wrote The Dooky Chase Cookbook (1990) and was a major contributor to Master Chef Nathaniel Burton's book, Creole Feast (1978).
There will be a special Creole dinner prepared using Chase's recipes and cooking techniques.

Step 1: Locking pliers to remove hinge pin screws
Step 2: Remove blades and organize
Step 3: Adjust tension
Step 4: Arrange and fit blades.
Step 6: Save the scissors?
But do NOT take this thru airport security.
Better have a second key ring when flying.
It may give ideas to Leatherman for a new product !
I bought my micra cheap on ebay but when it arrived it had a big gouge on the scissors. So I did this to it.
I do think though that you could probably grind down some keys and attach them to the main housing of the micra.
Not knocking this at all its a very interesting project.

Takes care of itself - This is one of those places that will to some degree always take care of itself. It only works on HUGE macking swells, and requires the right tide to avoid being impaled. Nonetheless please do the right thing and keep it low key.

In regards to Protect it by Keeping quiet about - Let me add my perspective on {Locals}. You speak of home break like you own the the water you're surfing in. Nobody owns anything and no one is entitled to anything. Those are the facts. The people who think of themselves as locals { 99% of them couldn't afford the property they surf in front of.} need to get a clue. If they follow their own rules then they can't surf any other spots outside their own so-called turf. Currently I live 45 miles from the nearest beach and I consider So. Cal. my home break. How about that for Localism. I surfed an epic swell 6 years ago while living in Pasadena. Day 1 Big Dume, Day 2 Tresles and Day 3 Malibu at 8 to 10 ft. Highly crowded at all 3 spots and the only trouble I had was with a 60 year old man {6' 1" and 220} who wanted me to produce a gate key in order to get back up the trail to my car. My point in responding to your E-mail is to tell you to lighten up. I've surfed your spot and many others which are considered localized and have had plenty of runins but nothing ever comes of it. Its seems that if you're going to succeed at keeping your home break free from outsiders you,re going to have to do more than shoot your board at them, use profanity and throwing the ocassional cheap shot. I surfed PV Penn. south of the Cove on an 8 to 10' rainy day with 200 yard lefts with perfect shape.I had already looked over the cliff and saw 6 or 7 guys spread out over 600 yards. Walking back to my car to suit up this guy in his late 20's pulls up and starts making all these threats if I don't leave now. Needless to say he drove off and I went surfing.I caught some insane waves and never had one person paddle over, even though I thought I was in the best spot. I don't know who to thank for the uncrowded session but I am grateful. Finally let me add one more fact to this locals subject. Whatever you dish out in the way of deterance to the people you don't think belong. Be prepared to get it worse in return. Peace

Heat wave to continue Thursday
CORPUS CHRISTI - It's a scorcher. It's going to stay one, too, forecaster believe.
Temperatures are expected to climb to the upper 90s and the heat will last until Thursday, National Weather Service meteorologist Ian Blaylock said. A combination of heat and humidity will create heat index values as high as 110 degrees.
The high Tuesday in Corpus Christi reached 99 degrees at 2:13 p.m., according to the weather service.
The National Weather Service extended its heat advisory until 7 p.m. Thursday. The alert is for nearly all of the Coastal Bend, including Bee, Goliad, Jim Wells, Kleberg, Live Oak, Nueces, Refugio, San Patricio and Victoria counties.
And if overnight relief when the sun goes down is expected, forget about it. The low temperatures really haven't been all that low.
On Sunday morning, a high minimum temperature record was set when the low was 81 degrees, Blaylock said, but residents can expect some relief toward the end of the week when rain is expected.
Adding to the situation, some African dust clouds are moving rapidly north across South Texas, and the situation is expected to remain through Thursday. Christina Cisneros-Guzman, Pollution Prevention Partnership director at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi said. Guzman described the clouds as millions of tons of mineral dust that is blowing in from Africa.
"That's what's making it especially hazy," she said. "I'm sure it is the heat as well."
Guzman said while air quality levels have changed from good to moderate, the levels are not dangerous.
To avoid heat related illness, the National Weather Service recommends that residents drink plenty of fluids, stay out of the sun and in an air-conditioned environment. Take the time to check on relatives and neighbors and never leave children or pets inside vehicles.
The Department of State Health Services urged people to be aware of signs of heat illness and take precautions, particularly elderly, young children, people with chronic diseases and those without access to air conditioning who are most at risk.
If air conditioning is not available, the state health services department urges opening windows, pulling down shades to keep out direct sunlight and using fans to cool rooms.

The Southside B2B members all took some time out on Wednesday 4th July to enjoy a nice summer evenings "bonding" at their annual Summer night out.
This year it was spent on a wonderful canal cruise on a replica Guinness Canal Barge, MV Cadhla (a client of one of our members!).
We meandered from Grand Canal basin all the way up to Charlemont Place seeing Dublin from a different view whilst savoring some socialising over a few drinks & bite to eat.
A very enjoyable evening was had by all.

Thirteen/WNET, WGBH, and the American Experience have absolute confidence in the veracity this outstanding film. Scrupulously researched and based on unimpeachable eyewitness testimony, it vividly recounts an unjustly ignored part of our country's history. It is because historical accuracy is so essential, that we believe films like Liberators: Fighting on Two Fronts In World War II must be made and broadcast.
Some questions concerning the content of the documentary Liberators.' Fighting on Two Fronts In World War II have been raised. Thirteen has undertaken a thorough review of these issues with filmmakers Bill Miles and Nina Rosenblum. Our response to these questions follow:
1) Why doesn't existing military documentation clearly place the 761st Tank Battalion at Dachau or Buchenwald?
During 183 days of consecutive combat through six European countries, members of the 761st were attached to the 26th, 71st, 79th, 87th, 95th and 103rd Infantry Divisions, as well as the 17th Airborne.
Official maps indicating the main routes of the 761st do not document these splintered units, which were detached and re-attached to different units throughout the fighting.
Gaps in the documentation of this unit not only pose problems for historians, it created problems during the war itself. Thirteen recently received a letter from Harold Gardner, Jr., formerly a major in the U.S. Army Finance Regiment, recalling that no provision had been made even to pay 761st tankers attached to the 87th Infantry Division in November of 1944.
According to Robert H. Abzug, professor of American history at the University of Texas and an expert on the liberation of Nazi concentration camps, "The combat situation was by nature characterized by a certain anarchy, one only compounded by the fact that this unit, as a number of others, often found itself split apart and attached to other units whose identities were used in official reports."
2) Wouldn't the commanding officer of the battalion know where all his troops were at the front?
Lt. Colonel Paul Bates, commander of the 761st, is quoted in an article in The New Republic making two statements: 1) that after-action reports do not place the 761st near either Dachau or Buchenwald 2) tanks of the 761st were assigned to the 71st Infantry engaged 60- 100 miles away. This implies that he knows with certainty that his men could not have been at Dachau or Buchenwald on their day of liberation.
In a conversation with Thirteen in November, 1992, the colonel stated that he had only administrative responsibility at this point in the war and that he "cannot confirm or deny" whether some members of the 761st may, in fact, have become detached from the main force of the 761st as documented in after-action reports. He said he had "no personal knowledge."
Reading his statements in The New Republic in light of this information, it becomes clear that he is quoted simply stating his knowledge as documented in official records available to him or anyone else. The author of the article, by the context in which he places Bates' quotes, tries to suggest that Bates was making an outright denial of the statements by 761st tankers who assert they were at Dachau or Buchenwald. In fact, by his own admission, Bates has no personal basis of knowledge to make such a denial.
3) Do experts at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum also say the 761st didn't help to liberate either concentration camp?
Jeffrey Goldberg writes in The New Republic , "A statement issued by historians at the U.S. Holocaust memorial Museum also states that they could find no evidence that the 761st Battalion helped free either camp."
A more complete excerpt of the text of that statement reads:
After a thorough search of documents in the National Archives, we are unable to find positive written evidence that the 761st Tank Battalion was involved in- the liberation of either the Buchenwold or Dachau concentration camps. Based on the available evidence, we can neither confirm nor deny that the 761st Tank Battalion was involved directly in the liberation of either the Buchenwald or Dachau concentration camps. This does not mean, however, that no individuals or units of the 761st were involved in the liberation of Buchenwald or Dachau, only that we have no documentary evidence to that effect.
The absence of written documentary evidence, however, is often not conclusive. The military circumstances in the Spring of 1945 were so chaotic that evidence of concentration camp liberations is usually scant in official unit records. Individual military units were moving very quickly and their whereabouts on any particular day is often difficult to reconstruct solely on the basis of written documentation. Almost fifty years after the fact, the process of identifying liberator units is still ongoing.
Again, this can hardly be taken as a contradiction of the clear statements of the survivors and liberators shown in this program.
4) Did you just ignore written documentation entirely?
Despite the omissions and deficiencies in official records, the filmakers did conduct exhaustive research at the Washington National Records Center in Sutland, Maryland, the National Archives, the Library of Congress, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the Department of the Army, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
5) Why do veterans of other liberator units deny that the 761st was involved?
We can only conclude that they are stating what they believe to be true, based on previously published materials or personal recollections. However, as described above, military documentation is not complete, so materials based exclusively on these sources reflect those omissions. The eye-witness testimony of these veterans is an important part of the historical record, but it does not discount the eye-witness testimony of the African-American soldiers or the camp survivors who were also there. As the film makes clear, the men of the 761st who were at Dachau, were there only briefly. That some other veterans, who were at the camps before or after or in another area, may not recall seeing the African-American soldiers does not change the facts of their presence.
The film does not take credit from any other soldiers who have been justly credited for arriving at the gates of these horrific camps. What it does is enlarge the record of history also to credit some of those soldiers who have been overlooked by historical records.
6) Do all survivors of Buchenwald remember that African- American soldiers were present that day?
Nobel-prize winning author Elie Weisel, the current Chief Rabbi of Tel Aviv, Rabbi Israel Lau, as well as other survivors who now reside in America including Alex Gross and his brother Sam, David Yaeger and Ben Bender have all publicly stated that black soldiers were present at Buchenwald at the outset of the liberation of the camp. It seems possible, without denying the credibility of these witnesses, to conclude that not every survivor saw the African-American soldiers on the day of liberation.
7) Is it possible the soldiers who say they helped liberate Dachau were just confused about where they were?
Walter Woodson, a 761st tanker who participated in the liberation of Dachau, moved to the perimeter with the other 761st tankers after passing through Dachau. The next day, however, he went back into Dachau and went through the camp. He was told he was at Dachau. Furthermore, their recollections precisely describe features of Dachau.
Also, international attorney and author Samuel Pisar was rescued from a death march only 25 kilometers from Dachau by a black tanker.
After the war Mr. Pisar was able to positively identify that specific member of the 761st. In this case as well, there is no military document that places that tanker in that place on that day. But the fact remains.
8) Why do you refer to these veterans as "liberators" if they were at the camps only briefly and didn't do much fighting there?
The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and many centers for holocaust history define a "liberator" as any soldier who was at the camp within the first 48 hours that it was occupied by the Allies. Some centers amplify the definition of the term to include soldiers present in the first week. Both time frames are accepted uses of the term as it applies to concentration camp liberation.
The oral history testimony in the film by 761st tankers. which describes how they fired on remaining Nazi forces at Dachau, places these members of the 761st there in the first hours of liberation. Pertaining to Buchenwald, the detailed testimony by several veterans of the 183rd, one 761st tanker, and a number of camp survivors, places them at Buchenwald the first day of its liberation. By all accepted standards, these soldiers are entitled to the designation "liberators . "
However, the film also repeatedly uses the term "liberator" in its broader meaning referring to the liberation of Europe from the Nazis and the heroic, though largely unacknowledged, contribution of the 761st and the 183rd to that effort.
9) Why would E.G. McConnell, filmed at Buchenwald in the beginning of the documentary with another veteran and survivor, say he was never at Buchenwald before?
The film's narrative, in stating at the beginning of the film that "two veterans of the 761st Tank Battalion returned to Buchenwald with Ben Bender who was imprisoned there" means to say that Ben Bender returns, and the two veterans returned with, i.e. accompanying, him. Had the filmmakers any reason to believe that this one sentence would by parsed in such detail and used as the illogical underpinning for an argument that the African-American soldiers were never there, they would undoubtedly have constructed the sentence differently. Needless to say, they regret any ambiguity.
For the record, the two veterans were intended to be representatives of the 761st veterans. Beyond the use of the word "return" in the narrative, nothing they say or do in the film is inconsistent with that. Indeed, in the film Bender gives the veterans a tour of the concentration camp as you would guide someone who has never been there before. They are an audience for Bender's recollections about the day black soldiers liberated the camp too late to save his brother. Bender was aware that Smith and McConnell were merely representatives and, in his unscripted recollections, used the word "you" to refer generally to the African- American soldiers he saw on the day of liberation.
10) Why would E.G. McConnell say that no veterans of the 761st helped to liberate Nazi concentration camps?
E.G. McConnell was severely wounded in the winter of early 1944/45.
He describes in the program how a shell pierced his helmet and his skull.
As a result of this wound and a subsequent illness, McConnell was not at
the front in April, 1945, so he is not is a position to confirm or deny
the oral history of other 761st veterans still in action in April, 1945,
and who have asserted their participation in the liberation of Buchenwald
or Dachau.

The tragedy resonated with a majority of Americans because it could happen anywhere, Nolte said.
"When something like this happens, it makes you reflect on your own life and how you are with the people around you," Nolte said.
The lives lost in the recent school shooting won't be the only people thought of during Saturday's event.
"We'll also be praying for victims of other mass shootings. It's happening every where, it seems," Armadillo said.
