Okay, well, first of all, I'd like to point out that this is my grandfather's story as he told it, not mine.

HOWEVER, seeing as how I want to post this on the Creepypasta Wiki, yes, I see your point.

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

Who said anything about Auschwitz? Oh wait...okay, now I understand. Well, just because they held Poles there doesn't necessarily mean it's in Poland. Also, Auschwitz held a variety of prisoners, including Soviets, Allies, and Poles, (though mainly Jews,) but the prison mentioned in the story ONLY holds Jews.

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.

Yes, that is true. But, again, this is my Grandpa's story, not my own.

Of course, if I want to go off on my own writing a story of war, this'd probably be good to keep in mind.

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.

Oops. Maybe I shouldn't've made it sound like I actually believed that "shlop". I don't a hundred percent believe my grandpa's story (grandfathers are widely known to tell fish stories), but I do believe that if it's true, that those Nazis really were "demons on earth".
