Jacob Siegel OF Battery A. Seventh
Field Artillery gives a few details OF hfs
life in Germany
I'VE can say that we have had a
pretty comfortable time since corning
here. The people let us alone and would
do more for US II they had a chance
do not believe these people were in sym
pathy with the war aims Of the rest OF
Germany. They say they had to stand
for II but will never be drawn in again.
II think from what hear, that these
people all want to be cut loose from the
rest OF Germany. They would like to
run their own part OF the country, but
guess that will never be allowed because
this u the richest part of Germany. None
Of the folks here suffered from the war"
