You need to pick a realistic place in Germany or possibly France. Auschwitz wasn't the only camp of murder.

A platoon stumbling across it when they are on a mission is more believable, perhaps something like a recon mission to find out what is happening and should this target be bombed. Nazi Germany used slave labor like CRAZY for industrial production.

You said once that the story was actually told to you by your Grandpa. It doesn't hold water. If you had hard evidence that it happened, you would need to fictionalize parts to make it plausible enough. Since this is just a story being retold by his grandfather, it's less formal and I don't think it needs to be as filled with facts to get the point across. If this was an original story, yeah but not this. I can see something informal being shared over a few beers like he described. I think the facts are unnessary for it.
