    I get that the name is alliterative, but this is more like Dachau in '33 than Auschwitz in '45.

      Wasn’t Dachau mostly political prisoners? Guantanamo Bay might qualify better for that comparison.

      I was going to correct you and say that two words starting with A aren’t alliteration but assonance. But when I looked it up to make sure I was right, I wasn’t. There might not be a word for the same vowel letter in successive words. shrug

      • alliteration – repeated initial consonant sounds in multiple words
      • assonance – repeated vowel sounds within multiple words
      • consonance – repeated consonant sounds within multiple words

      p.s. I support any name that conveys the obvious nazi connection.
