Unprepared for the situation, the smell of decaying bodies and human excrement and the sight of naked, emaciated bodies induced vomiting, crying, disbelief, and rage in the advancing troops. Some of the SS-men who were in charge of the camp were killed by US soldiers after having surrendered, which is considered a war crime. But any charges against the men involved in the killings were dismissed by General George S. Patton.']

Almarics own receit of the siege and massacre includes this passage: "Our men spared no one, irrespective of rank, sex or age, and put to the sword almost 20,000 people. After this great slaughter the whole city was despoiled and burnt, as divine vengeance miraculously raged against it."']
 $events << ['Ibn Battuta visits the sultanate of Mali', 1352, 'Ibn Battuta, the great Morrocan voyager, in his journal described many of the territories under Muslim domination and became, thus, the only eyewitness of West-African societies and their political organization at that time. His writings contrast with that of later authors who – often in a colonial context – deny the existence of developped societies in this part of the world and, thus, imposed that “Africa has had no history”.']

When the extend of the resulting famine began to get known, feeble counter-measures were sufficient to downplay the the catastrophy.']
