I have the impression that, even 2 or 3 generations later, there is still social stigma attached to admissions of connection to concentration camps. In this respect, I don't find it surprising that no one has said they were stationed at one, or had a pistol thus marked. Also, the German vets are disappearing just as fast as ours; so this kind of info/testimony will be even more rare as time proceeds.
