Or 2006 according to your link. Whichever, they beat Fox News to it by over a decade. Unless those earlier reports were fake news, shock, horror?

FOX Rediscovered the discovery. In fact the original discovery was a tempest in a teapot. The GIs were really the FIRST ones to discover them … on D-Day. In the 50 years after the war much was simply forgotten by the passage of time. If they didn't write a book about and make a movie out of it nobody knew about it 50 years later. So it could be Rediscovered so then they could write a book and make a movie. Just like every few years somebody comes along and Rediscovers the Fuhrer Bunker in Berlin. Just a way to sell books. No cover-up. No intrigue or sensation. Just stuff forgotten in the passing of time. Cheers!
