St. Vith--A Victim of The War

that only nine houses remained
habitable. About 80 per cent OF
the remainder were leveled or COM
pletely smashed.
There are toWnspeopIe left, how
ever, most of them scattered in the
neighboring rural area. Here is the
way Capt. James W. Green, of
Chatham, Va, explained the i'm
mediate problem:
Some food is now coming in
through the Belgian government
and the Belgian Red Cross, but
most of St. Vith's survivors are liv.
ing off surplus potatoes, cattle and
grain of this agricultural area.
I'm a month that will be gone
and the farmers as well as the
refugees will have to be fed.
1--WE don't know how many were
killed here, but / doubt if it was
nearly as high as the survivors
fear. Those who lived through the
bombings still are dazed and los
and many of them are unable tt
speak coherently.
"We've heard no resentment ex
pressed against the Allies for wha
was done to st. With. Its people
say merely that they were victim!
of the war, although it is Narticu
larly bitter to have been crushed
like this after the war apparently
had come and gone"
