BY Henry B. Jameson,


LONDON.-Within six hours after
American bombers had wrecked the
great Marienburg Focke-Wulf fighter
plant last October g. German labor
squads were on the spot clearing up the
debris.
The sprawling plant had been all but
wiped out in one of the finest daylight
precision bombing jobs of the war. Only
one single building was left standing
intact.
But so great was the pressure on the
German air force to maintain its fighter
production that reconstruction started
Immediately. Slave laborers were i'm
ported by the hundreds to speed the job.
In less than six months the plant was
almost completely rebuilt, with two new
buildings added.
All during this time Allied recon-
Nuisance pilots watched and reported
on the progress. BY April reconstruc-
ton appeared fairly well completed. SO.
on April 9-just six months to the day
after the first attack-word was given
for American heavies to go to work on
1t again.
They did another superb job, equaling
if not surprising the first smashing
attack.
sixty-one per cent Of all bombs fell

Yesterdays Ruins Are
Targets for Tomorrow

within 1000 feet of the bulls eye, with
one formation of Flying Fortresses
dumping about 80 per cent of its load
within 1000 feet of the assigned target
from an altitude of almost miles.
Scores of Nazi warplants have been
rebuilt and repaired with amazing speed,
but Marienburg remains the outstanding
example of why American and British
bombers every now and then have to go
back to targets you thought had already
been exterminated.
The men who fly the bombers and
the officers who direct them are not dis
couraged by the necessity of second at
tacks. 1t Is part Of the business of air
warfare. They worry only about reports
that the folks back home don't under
stand why return engagements are
needed
Marienburg was perfect Illustration
of perfect bombing that had to be re-
peated. But the important point is that
the plant has not turned out single
plane to challenge our bombers since
last October.
Specially trained crews are one of the
keys to all successful attacks. Each base
has several lead teams who fly alternate
raids.
Bombs are like words; once you let
them 60 you can't ever get them back"
says 1t. Richard X. Grown, Mackinaw
City, Mich. one Of the crack lead bonn
berdiers on the second MeRfenburY Job.

e Still Hot

Convinced that even the most COM
plete divisional records would not give
him more than 10 per cent Of the In
formation he was after. the colonel
spent at least half Of his time at the
front. The rest Of his story came from
interviews with 'the tankers, the artil-
lery, the forward artillery observers, tho
coxswains, the beachmasters, the alli-
gator drivers, ct al, and from the bat
talon commanders and my own powers
Of observation.
"It Is error" the colonel wrote, @to
believe that soldiers and commanders
do not wish to talk right after an action.
That is when they want to talk most.
They are ready to tell what happened
to them and they don't hold anything
back
"Details begin to slip from them In q
day or two It is surprising how I found
every one from the general to the
greenest private forgetting the day on
which something took place even though
remembering the hour"
The colonel recorded his observations
of the landings and OF how the actual
enemy defenses checked against ad-
vance information. He made q study
Of personnel tactics as the men ad-
vanced under FIRE:
you have TO see II yourself to get q
clear idea.
A battalion Is ordered forward. But
how do the men 90 forward? DO they
crawl or run from tree to tree, or 20
haltingly as If in daze? Until this Ia
known clearly, the link between training
and battle is not established
It Is vital, the historian said, to havs
the answers to questions like how the
infantry, the tanks, the artillery and the
BAR men conducted themselves? Why
mortars weren't used2
Why the tanks had to fight . very
limited action?
Why the alligators were OF such great
value?
The colonel concluded that there are
many "categories Of vital information
which are not touched by the records
and which are lost to history unless
gathered by the historian
As to press correspondents, he feels
many stories which get into print are
50 much Journalistic fiapdoodle."

Army Newspaper Keyed Men for D>Day

Stars and Stripes carries ct least q
half page Of comics every day. Sober
readers of war news may laugh ut this,
but Blonde, Terry and Pirate and other
comic strips go over big in the ETO.
Joe, the private, wants his daily laugh,
even If synthetic.
Hash Marks
One of the better features of Stars
and Stripes is a column called Hash
Marks" a compilation of the funny
yarns that sprout wherever soldiers
gather, no matter what rank Hash
Marks" carries bang of robust humor,
and lot of kidding. There was the
yarn the other day, for instance, OF the
officer who shudders every time he hears
mail call. 1t seems sweet young Eng
lish babe wrote him sweet note, ad-
dressing it to his APO number. He
transferred, the letter followed him, he
couldn't be found, and it eventually
wound up-in the hands Of his wife,
back in the States.
There was the supply captain at an
Air Force receiving depot, who had more
than the usual supply officer headache.
A supply officer or noncom, in case you
don't know, always has headache, for
something he has signed for and didn't
get, or something he hasn't signed for
and has.
This one, and you can start shedding
tears in your bitters for him, signed
for 1l2 Flying Fortresses. He could
find and check only Ill of them. Capt.
Gail G. Spears of Air Corps Supply still
is trying to figure out how long it will
take him to reimburse Uncle Sam on
captains pay the sum Of 100000, the
approximate cost of fully equipped
Flying Fortress.
Soon now there may be, as there
was in the last war, Paris edition
of Stars and Stripes. Maybe Yank also
will transfer to the French capital But
either publication will have to do
heck of a job to beat the efforts they
have made in London. They happen
to be doing a fine newspaper job for
lot of news and feature hungry men
far from home and crazy to read about
something from America.

Sports news Is widely played up, with
columns given over to baseball, racing
and boxing here and back home, fire.
quently with a wirephotoed picture Of
some event In the United States Stars
and Stripes, for example, carried a pic
ture of the finish of the Kentucky Derby,
complete baseball results every day and
an ETO sports mirror, chiefly concerned
with boxing softball and football pros
poets, and games. Frankly, the CT
stationed at training camp has little
time or inclination for sports. He Is too
busy.
Names like It. Earl Mazo, who has
been doing fine job of general report
ing; But-Hutton, who specializes in
covering the air front; George Rooney,
who does another good all-around job;
Tom Hoge and many others blossom
forth in by-lines in Stars and Stripes.
These men are good reporters and good
writer's. Uncle Sam did all right when
he got them into uniform to keep CT Joe
happy and up with the news.
1t is all quite off1cial. A Stars and
Stripes reporter gets places. So do the
photographers, although everything,
naturally, must be cleared through CEN
sorship. You never know when a stop
order will come through on particular
training operation or particular piece
of equipment, although the Stars and
Stripes men, as are all newspapermen in
the ETO. know the generalities on CEN
sorship and carefully observe the neces-
sary restrictions.
Yank Magazine
Yank Of course, is the magazine
published weekly here in London, and q
darned good one. 1t doesn't attempt to
compete with Stars and Stripes on news,
but its features are we'll done, timely
and interesting. You see Yank pinup
girls everywhere you go, on the walls of
Nissen huts at an air station, in CT
barracks south, east and north, wherever
the soldier has his home. Yank does a
swell job of elevating the American girl
and her figure. The back cover usually
has picture of some United States
cutie more or less revealed.

LONDON (By AirmaiD One Of the
finest jobs of newspaperdom prior to
invasion, and, incidentally, one which
gave a tremendous boost in morale to
the men of the United States armed
forces feverishly awaiting the D-day
signal, was done by Stars and Stripes,
the daily newspaper of the United
States forces in the European theater of
operations.
If GI Joe and the general had de-
spended on London papers for news of
their favorite sport heroes, or what the
White House was doing during their
tense period of nervous waiting, they
would have gotten only a meager
glimpse of what went on, if they got
anything at all. London newspapers
cover the essential news in abbreviated
form, with great credit to British forces,
but their coverage of all but the barest
essentials of United States news is COM
paratively scant So Stars and Stripes
stepped in to do swell job. It's got a
still bigger job now.

embellished with numerous features,

reporters, who go everywhere and see
everything. Back at the desk, the re-
write men do swell job of editing the
news and rewriting 1t for home con-
sumption. 1t is crammed with news of
back home, which is exactly what the GI
wants to hear. Unfortunately, since

The historian had scant time to inter-
view any generals In action after he was
landed on the Nettuno airstrip. The
first outfit he reported to was under
shelling and bombing and put him to
work for three days, pitching and strik-
ing tents.
'T did learn" he reported, "how to
pitch pyramidal, pup, command post
and wall tents" Later, with an eye to
the prestige OF the historical section,
the writer appropriated the bedroom
and bath of the former owner of hotel.

Eyewitness Accounts
The Navy, while rejecting the idea OF
combat historians, has the eyewitness
accounts of returning personnel ana
dispatches OF marine combat corre-
spondents to add color and detail to Its
operational reports. One immediate
project is the preparation, with an eye
to popular appeal, Of a narrative his
tory Of the Navy in World War II. The
first volume, treating with the six
months of defensive warfare in the
Pacific which followed Pearl Harbor,
should be out this fall.
Microfilms of reports and voice re-
cordings of interviews serve as valuable
source material. One recording, for ex-
ample, in those being collected in the
Offce of Naval Records will enable
school children or historians of the fu-
ture to hear Comdr. w. w. Outerbridge
tell how his destroyer fired the opening
guns in World War II in sinking a
Japanese submarine an hour before
enemy planes descended on Pearl Har-
Dor.
