There were newspaper reports in the US about mistreatment and the
mass murders by 1942 which were mostly ignored or denied. Birkenau
had been the subject of US aerial reconnisance in 1943 and was buried
in a cloak of secrecy by the military. Who knew what, and when did they
know it remains obscure. Inaction by governments and world leaders led
to higher death tolls as the war proceeded.
Concetration camps. Just about everyone in Germany knew about their existence. They were originally intended as a deterrent to opposition, and Dachau was launched in March 1933 amid much publicity. It was known that these places were horrific punishment camps, though people did not necessarily have much detail.
Extermination camps. The first of these opened at Chelmno in December 1941. These camps were top secret and were for Jews and gypsies only. Very few people knew about these camps.

They knew about them, but there was little they could actually do about them until they had defeated the German armies.

the US camps supplied food and did not require hard labour or other hard conditions.
yes and no. they went to Germany and came across concentration camps on luck. the holocaust was an event not a thing you can find. the German citizens may have been aware of this and told us soldiers though.
The US did NOT "rescue Jews from the concentration camps." When the US and England had a chance to destroy Nazi concentration camps with bombing, they refused, preferring instead to bomb other military targets. Years later, at the end of the war, after six million Jews had already been murdered, some US troops participated in "liberating" a few Nazi camps. However, by then it was too late. There were very few Jews left alive.
The German emblem in the Nazi period was the swastika, not the Death's Head. The SS Death's Head units (SS-Totenkopfverbände) were in charge of all Nazi concentration camps and extermination camps. They wore a small skull on their caps and lapels.

no he did not, he got the idea because he needed some way to create his perfect race. no, there were no electric fences around the reservations, they were not forced into slave labour. There are very few similarities between Hitler's concentration camps and Indian Reservations, closer similarites would be with the normal state prisons in the US. There were many similarites between Hitler's concentration camps and other concentration camps around the world.
