Jack Bushyhead was a distant cousin - our family lines diverged at the Trail
of Tears - but probably the most famous. He's known to some as "The Butcher of
Dachau", for machine-gunning between 125 and 350 "unarmed German soldiers."
He's hated by everyone from Humanitas to some of the White Power brigades, and
often used as an example of a psychotic, out-of-control soldier.
Here's a good page with pictures showing what he saw when he walked under the famous gate with the "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign:

He was court-martialled for it, but I'd like to think I would have done the
same thing.
