was even more tragic than that at
Dunkirk, two weeks earlier. At
Dunkirk, few people yet dreamed
the fall of France was imminent.
The embarking soldiers thought
they were coming back to fight
again. At Brest, the seal already had
been set on Britain's worst disaster
The men who sailed back to Eng
land included the remnants of the
81 st Highland division. cut to pieces
at San Valerie. They included sur
vivors of Britain's oldest, calvary
regiments-who had been fighting
German Mark w tanks with pop
guns mounted on outdated ar1nored
cars.
Back in England, these veterans
found no awaiting equipment ade-
quate to defend its shores. There
were no tanks, only Anticipated ar
tillery and almost no batteries cap
able Of standing off the force OF
the Nal Wehrmacht. The Royal
Air Force was terribly out-num-
bered and nobody then knew its
quality.
Yet there was nothing Of Dun
kinks horror and tension in our
experience. We were not pressed by
the enemy. The main German
forces were sweeping southwark
behind us. or mooping up the
Maginot Line. or getting drunk In
Paris night clubs.
Hitler could afford to ignore a
few thousands of BEF and Raj
stragglers. He could let them GO
home, because certainly Britain
would not dare resist once France
had fallen.
It was a beautiful day as we
drove down Britanny from the tiny
village Of st. Aubin d'Aubigne. 1t
might have been just another sum-
mer holiday. 1t was Sunday and

the groups thickened, and there
were Bren gun carriers, gun lin

SONG FOR own
BY HAZEL HARTZoz


UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Hollywood CUP - Foot-cloggine
U. s. Infantrymen, who never had
a marching song Of their own, are
now singing a song captured
from the Germans as they marched
through italy
Correspondent Ernie Pyle wire
lessed this news with the words OF
the song to Producer Lester Cowan
who said he would include the
chanson in the film &c. I. Joe,
based on Pyle's front-line dis
patches and best-seller, Here Is
Your War"
The song is called "Lili Marlene, y
Pyle said and American soldiers at
the Italian front picked it up from
the British Eighth Army which in
turn heard 1t from German prison.
ers.
With the printable lyrics sent by
Pyle, Cowan is all set to put the
song into the film as the tribute to
the infantry-as soon as he gets
some music for them. But. as he
stated, Pyle was no master as a
music transcriber.
Il suppose, if you want the music
you could arrange to have record
ing made from a German broad
cast" Pyle told Cowan.
The words:
Outside the barracks, by the corner
light,
I'll always stand and wait for you
at night
We will create world for two,
I'll wait for you, the whole night
through
For you, Lii Marelene, for you, Lii
Marlene.
Bugler, tonight don't play the call
to arms,
want another evening with her
charms.
Then we must say goodbye and
part.
I'll always keep you in my heart
With me, Lii Marlene, with me,
Lii Marlene.
Give me a rose to show how much
you care,
Tie to the stem a lock of golden
hair.
Surely tomorrow you'll feel blue,
But then will come love that's
new
For you, Lii Marlene, for you, Lii
Marlene.
When we are marching in the mud
and cold,
And when my pack seems more
than I can hold,
My love for you renews my might,
I'm warm again. my pack is light
it's you, Lii Marlene, it's you, Lii
Marlene.

Meanwhile, Allied bombers oper-
ating from Britain smashed at Ger
man submarine-building centers,
factories producing parts for the
submersibles and at U-boat bases
along the French and Norwegian
coasts.
Thus, Hitler's navy found itself in
a two-way squeeze: one aimed at
impairing U-boat production; and
the other, striking at the raiders
themselves.
The effectiveness OF anti-sub-
marine measures Is reflected in the
monthly joint Anglo-American an
nouncements Of operations issued
during the last six months. For
period from May to October, 1913,
a monthly average of Is submarines
destroyed was chalked up. This is
10 more per month than Nazi ship
yards are now believed capable Of
producing.
