Reflecting on History

Summary:

Snippet from a unfinished story I really wanted to write about Steve's reactions to finding out what happened in the world while he was in the ice.

Here is his initial reaction to finding out about the Holocaust and concentration camps.

Notes:

originally posted on tumblr, with slight editing.

Work Text:

Steve wishes that he had done more. He remembers passing by a work camp during a mission in Poland. The smell, the ashes. Dum Dum and Dernier retching in the bushes.

They did not stop to investigate.

He knows he included its location in the mission report. Did he include a note about the Germans burning refuse? Did the SSR pass on this intel to the Russians?

It never occurred to him that a civilian camp could be more brutal than a Hydra prisoner-of-war labor camp.
