Kind Nazis Melt
Ire of u. S. Troops
Former Murderers NOtU Are
Anxious to Please.

BREMEN. - When Prime Minis
ter Winston Churchill said that "the
Germans are either at your feet or
at your throat" he stated exactly
why the Allied non-fraternization
policy was Sc hard to enforce.
The Germans, who were at our
threats before May 6, now are at
our feet. The butchers of Buchen-
wald, the murderers Of Malmedy
now are smiling and anxious to have
their greetings returned.
Those who screamed "Ayran su-
premacy" loudest are gathering in
admiring groups to watch American
Negro soldiers at work. Those who
approved outrages on the Jews now
r fawning on Jewish soldiers and
assuring them that the Germans at
heart are the most tolerant of all
peoples.
It cannot be denied that soft an
swers and smiles from the Germans
are turning away the G.I.s' wrath.
It's easy to hate a man trying to
kill you in combat, but the easy
going American finds it hard to stay
mad at people who put themselves
out to please.
The treatment of Germans varies
with the sector and the time spent
in combat. Units with great num-
bers of casualties are tougher than
more fortunate outfits.
New troops from the United States
have given military authorities
much concern.
EITHER we will have to find a
new formula or run a hate propa-
ganda campaign" n officer said.
A newsreel of the German massa-
ere of American troops at Malmedy
was shown in a G.I. theater recent
ly. During the show scores of indig-
nant comments were made. Most of
the soldiers would have enjoyed
renewing the war against the Nazis.
