Last Train from Berlin and Other War Time Books
Howard K. Smith's Last Train from Berlin is reviewed as a timely report on the German home front and morale, with Smith the last American correspondent to leave Berlin on December 7, 1941. The piece praises its insight into civilians under Nazism and the potential for postwar democracy, while noting its optimistic tone and questions about its accuracy. Also reviewed is Ludwig Bemelmans I Love You I Love You I Love You a witty wartime imprint, with hints of postwar publication plans and a playful, if uncertain, narrative around experiences during the war.
