Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Shearonink (talk) 04:25, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Happy editing! Shearonink (talk) 04:26, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Your edits concerning Robert B, Sherman
It does appear that Mr. Sherman entered Dachau but his self-authored book "Moose" states that he was in the camp on April 11th, the day before Roosevelt died (April 12th, 1945). The date generally accepted as the American liberation of Dachau is April 29th. It is hard to reconcile this apparent discrepancy in dates. As it appears he and his fellow soldiers basically stumbled into Dachau when they were separated from the rest of their group, official verification of Sherman's chance encounter with Dachau might prove quite difficult. Note, please, that I am not saying Mr. Sherman was not at Dachau just that the timeline appears to be somewhat mangled... I did find some sources that stated he was at Dachau (see these edits to Robert B. Sherman). Shearonink (talk) 04:36, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
