5 October 1946

SUBJECT: Statement of Incident which occurred at or near Garmisch

1. The following chronological account of events occurring on the evening of 4 October 1946 is hereby presented.

a. About 2300, 4 October 1946, this instructor accompanied by George P. Springer, U S Civilian, Marjorie E. Springer, U S Dependent, and Leonie Harbert, German civilian instructor at ETIS, left the Post Hotel at Garmisch.

b. Upon entering his car, this instructor noticed two MP's in a jeep waiting at the street corner. The MP's then proceeded to tail this instructor's car. At this time, this instructor proceeded at a speed of 15-20 km.p.h. (8-12 m.p.h.).

c. Upon leaving Garmisch, this instructor turned off on the road Garmisch-Murnau while the MP jeep proceeded straight. About two (2) miles outside of Garmisch one of the occupants of the car pointed out to this instructor that a jeep with dimmed lights was tailing his car. At this time this instructor was averaging 30-50 km.p.h., never exceeding the 50 km. limit (20-30 m.p.h.). Subsequently the jeep turned on its headlights.

d. At this point, this instructor decided to find out the reason for the "tailing" and pulled over to the curb. About three (3) minutes later the jeep pulled up. It turned out to be the same MP jeep that had been following in Garmisch. The following conversation ensued between this instructor and the MP:

"How fast were you going?!!

"Never more than 35 m.p.h."

"That is not true, you were doing 55 m.p.h."

"I am very sorry, but I didn't."

"You have been drinking, haven't you?"

This last statement was uttered in a tone which made it clear
that it was not a question but a charge (of alleged drunkenness).

When this instructor protested, "Now, wait a minute ......", the
MP turned to his driver and said, "Let us take them all in".

e. At the MP station, the following events took place:

The desk sergeant, looking at Marjorie E. Springer, a U.S. Civilian, and Leonie Harbert, German civilian instructor, stated: "No matter what these women may say, we won't believe it". When this instructor demanded to see an officer the desk sergeant replied: "We don't need an officer around here". After allegations of drunkenness were repeated, this instructor, as well as the other occupants of the car, insisted upon a blood test to establish their sobriety. Before leaving, the occupants of the car were requested by the desk sergeant to write out a statement, to be submitted to him after the blood test.

f. At the 58th Field Hospital, where the blood tests were made, the following events ensued:

While George P. Springer, U S Civilian, was taking his blood
test, this instructor noticed the MP who had stopped the car, reading Mr.
Springer's statement. This instructor pointed out to the MP that it was a
memorandum for the desk sergeant and that since the MP was personally in-
volved he should not read the statement before it was submitted. The MP
replied, "He has no right to make a statement before his blood test anyhow".
This instructor replied, "Please cease using such tactics, they can get you
into more trouble than you realize. We have been specifically told by the
desk sergeant to make these statements now". The MP stated, "Is this a
threat?" When no answer was forthcoming the MP continued: "I'll take it
as a threat anyhow". This was witnessed by Marjorie E. Springer, U S Depen-
dent.

g. Upon return to the MP station the following events occurred, witnessed by 2nd Lt Willard S. Bass, ETIS Officer of the Day, as well as the occupants of the car:

This instructor, together with all of the occupants of the
car, continued writing his statement. Suddenly the desk sergeant asked
"Why did you threaten the MP?" This instructor replied: "I am making my
statement in writing". The question was repeated and this instructor
pointed out that he would submit a statement. This instructor again de-
manded to see an officer and was again refused. The desk sergeant then said,
"Will you answer my question, now?" This instructor replied, "No". The
desk sergeant thereupon stated: "Take him down to the basement". This in-
structor was subsequently detained in the cellar in a room about four by
eight feet for about one hour. Upon release the desk sergeant stated, "We
can detain anybody, as long as we want to for investigation". At no time

had this instructor been formally charged.

With the written order to return at 0830 on 5 October 1946, all occupants of the car were released.

h. Upon returning to the MP station at 0830 on 5 October 1946, in the company of 2nd Lt Bass, ETIS Officer of the Day, and 1st Lt. F.G.A. Kraemer, as a possible legal counsel, the occupants of the car were told by the desk corporal that the officer had allegedly left for Augsburg and that for this reason no investigation could take place. Lt. Kraemer, therefore, suggested and arranged another meeting for 0930, 8 October 1946, to allow the results of the blood test to be known.

2. Conclusions:

a. This instructor was at all times aware that he was being tailed and for this reason alone never exceeded the 30 m.p.h. This can be witnessed by every occupant of the car, since a special effort was made not to give offense.

b. The state of sobriety will be demonstrated by the blood tests and no comment is necessary.

c. This instructor was twice refused permission to speak to the officer in charge.

d. This instructor was detained in a locked cell for one hour without ever having been formally charged or booked on any offense.

e. Regardless of the outcome of this investigation, this instructor will prefer charges against the soldiers in question for illegal detention.

7712 EUROPEAN THEATER INTELLIGENCE SCHOOL
UNITED STATES FORCES, EUROPEAN THEATER
APO 1, US ARMY

10 February 1947

SUBJECT: General Guide for Preparation of Examination Questions.

FROM : Academic Division, 7712 ETIS, USFET.

TO : Each Instructor, Academic Division, 7712 ETIS, USFET.

1. Reference: TM 21-250, Army Instruction, Chapter 5.

2. This guide has been prepared in the interest of improving objective type examinations given at ETIS.

3. In order to achieve better co-ordination and uniformity in the phrasing of examination questions, they will be edited before being mimeographed. The editor will inform chiefs of departments concerned as early as practicable when an examination is to be revised, indicating the approximate number of questions required from each department and the deadline for their submission. Examination questions should cover instruction given up to the day of the examination. Instructors will prepare examination questions in triPLICATE on forms (as attached), listing name of instructor. The original will be submitted to the editor through the chief of the department, one copy each being retained by the chief of department and the individual instructor concerned. The editor will be concerned primarily that commonly understood words are used and that the phrasing of questions and instructions is such as to admit of one interpretation only. The editor will check with the instructor or chief of department concerning any changes in instructions or questions.

4. Department heads will pre-edit and initial examination questions before forwarding to the editor.

5. Instructors, chiefs of departments, editor and proof reader will pay particular attention to the spelling of foreign names and words.

6. Several items to be considered in preparing examination questions have been listed below:

a. An examination question should be valid. It should be a measure of the student's knowledge of the subject. "Trick" questions are not valid examination questions.

b. In an objective type examination, the questions should be specific. A general question obtains a general answer and credit for the answer is frequently dependent on the person grading the test. Example: The question: "How may Top Secret matter be transmitted?", can be answered correctly in several ways and is little test of the student's knowledge of the subject. Answers of: "In double envelopes", "by officer courier", "in top secret code", "with a receipt system", and "by State Department Diplomatic Pouch", are all correct. A solution would be to state the question: "Top Secret matter may be transmitted between headquarters by any of the following means: State Department Diplomatic Pouch, officer courier, warrant officer courier, specially designated civilian couriers, (True-False)"

c. Questions should be prepared in such a manner that they may be answered by an individual with a good knowledge of the subject rather than on the basis of knowledge obtained in class-room work.

d. Care should be exercised that a question is not answered by a statement in a following question.

e. A high percentage of the true-false statements being used in present examinations are false statements. It should be remembered that an examination is a part of the learning process and that false statements on examinations frequently result in lasting incorrect impressions. At least 75% of the true false statements in an examination should be true statements.

f. In multiple choice questions, care should be exercised that all statements are grammatically correct when completed. Frequently a hint of the right answer is given when the right answer is the only statement that is in grammatical agreement with the rest of the sentence.

g. Questions involving definitions, lists of functions or duties of organizations, etc. should be prepared in the form of multiple choice or true-false statements to facilitate grading.

h. Each question should be clearly and completely stated and not dependent on its location in the test with regard to other questions in order to be clear to the student.
