forces last summer. Just before
we we're separated from the
army. The stories were written
for publicity purposes. The army
wanted the people of this coun-
try to know about the infantry
divisions; what patches they
wore, where they had been,
what they had done. and how
well they had accomplished
their missions.
We didn't have too much trou-
bic with the Pacific divisions.
Kahn had started out with the
Sixth, early in the war. and he
knew about those outfits that
did so much with so little when
the Japs were turning the knob
of the door that led TO Australia
and New Zealand. And l. a
newcomer, knew about the dirty,
hungry, tired men of Munda,
Bougainville, Morotai and the
other steps that led toward
Japan.
DUT - and this may cut the
- sale of the book from Is

bic with the divisions that fought
Europe. We Just didn't have all
the facts. l remember that one
time we had 16 divisions in a
little French town that couldn't
have Accommodated two divisions.
We tried to give the division
that fired a shot into Germany
credit for that shot, but we may
have erred. During the lightning
drive that spelled the end of the
Wehrmacht, American infantry
men were in too many places,
moved too fast. for any warrant
officer and any sergeant. 10
keep them straight. II will be
years before the real history of
each OF the infantry divisions is
completely told. .NN
But we did the best we could.
AS a matter of fact. for two
guys who already had enough
points for discharge, and were
only waiting for orders 10 the
separation center, we did pretty
good.
I urge that you buy the book.
Buy a dozen or so copies.
Every cent in royalties the
authors get, they are turning
over TO themselves, to be used

+ LIPARI, Italy's Devil Island oil
Sicily, Sept. 20.-Wp)- Edda Ciano,
favorite child of Benito Mussolini,
asserted tonight that she has never
forgiven her father for what she
called the murder" of her hus-
band, Count Galeazzo Ciano, one
time Foreign Minister of Fascist
italy.
In the first press interview OF
nv whole life" she gave what she
described as the 'first-hand, in
side story" Of Italy's downfall, OF
the surrender, of Cianos arrest and
execution; told how her father
turned her over to the Gestapo, and
declared that Mussolini's mistress
ruled the entire nation.
She denied she had any political
influence over her father. She said
the only persons able to sway him
were my mother and Clara
Petacci, whom he loved" Clara
Petacci was his mistress, and she
died with him at the hand Of
Italian patriots in the hills above
Milan.

lion of being Europes most-talked-

not very fair-not fair at all to take
my father that way.
Wnen things went well, for 20
years, they were happy enough TO
stand behind him and take things.
When things got bad, they turned
over completely"
She said she did not know Mar
shall Pietro Badoglio, who succeed
ed her father as premier, but she
sail that Ciano did not like him.
He was one of those who wanted
war on Abyssinia. He was supposed
to be a Fascist. But now, he has
turned over too" she said.
ut seems I am the only one left
in the world who once was a Tas-
cist."
Regarding the possibility of her
being tried as war criminal, Ed
da said she did not know what
they are going to do with me-"
'There is no one who wishes
me harm here" she said. All /
know was that the Allies said to the
Swiss government that I was not
a war criminal and that / was in
no danger of my life"
Asked if she expected to testify
at the trial of war criminals she
said How could I? don't know
what war criminal is"
She said she believed that Hitler
really had committed suicide "be-
cause he always said he would kill
himself if anything went wrong. He
told my husband in Salzburg in 1889
that he would kill himself if the
Nazis failed"
She said she saw Hitler three
times. The first was in 1886 when
she visited Germany for n
the second was in 1912 when she
made another months visit latter
terrible row with Ribbe ntrop.
He did not want me to go because
he said there were too many argu-
ments. Anyway, went because
wanted to CO."
The third time was when Hitsr
visited Rome, she said.
Edda said that since Ita1y's sur
render she had not heard from any
Of her German friends.
