Aacher on c hillside, we listened to private of engineers Max Oravec, Vintondale, Pa, relate how he tried to reach the bodies of dead Ger. mans and French.
 'Those bodies you see and smell are in the midst of heavily mined, booby- trapped area" he said. we had Q couple of guys injured trying to reach them.
 'Those wild French didn't give c dam for ferries. Whenever c 0er- man patrol came into this sector, the Frenchies opened Up with their fire regardless of whether they were outnumbered 10 to one. l guess no. body knows how to hate until the enemy occupies your country. 1 hate to think of the damn, stinking Japs occupying Pennsylvania, California, or Washington. But if they did, then perhaps the crowd back home would know what the war means"

 Into the officers mess of on RAT Salvage unit somewhere in Belgium, stumbled c Spitfire pilot. He was soaked with rain, blood ran from his head, and there was c patch over his nose.
 T pulled my kite up in mud at the end of that short runway when I came in own-wind" he llumbled, then lighted Q cigaret and reached for e cup of tea.
 He ran out of gas on his way home from his third mission that morning, shooting Up and skip. bombing German strongpoints in front of the Canadians inclosing them on the schelde.
 The runway was the same one upon which our pilot had put the Dakota down, six inches from the start of the concrete strip. He pulls cd 1t up three inches from the other end and the mud field.
