A fragmentary recollection by Yeak POW relates three years in German camps, with Navy confinement and Allied landings noted. He recalls camp commanders profiteering from racketeered food and wine, and mentions a monastery incident in southern Italy during the Sicily campaign.
The May 15 film issue of a wartime magazine presents Germanic named articles and editor notes, noting prisoners as contributors and avoiding identification of real names. It observes a balanced, factual tone with captions from horror camps and a claim that editors hide pen names to avoid backlash.
The document describes a mass escape attempt where 22 officers hid in various parts of the camp, delaying the departure to Germany. The commandant ordered the camp to live outdoors for 12 days, prisoners improvised beds and cooking, and guards suffered injuries from roof falls. An armistice ended the standstill as Allies revealed themselves and a count followed.
The German POWs in the United States publish Der Ruf a fortnightly paper edited under Provost Marshal General supervision. It aims to express a shared voice among prisoners, exploring disaster of Germany, current America, and their homeland. Content mixes essays reminiscence and verse with notes on Japan's wartime stance.
A fragmentary memoir describes camp life in Moosburg and Hadamar Bavaria with Russian guards washing clothes and aiding barbed wire construction, a banned political magazine, rumor boards, and escape incursions. It highlights tense relations between prisoners and German guards during the invasion era.
Fragmentary wartime notes describe inflating tires and wheels for vehicles used by soldiers. Instructions mention checking pressure, deflating during maneuvers, and safeguarding tires from punctures by bullets while crossing rough surfaces.
The Army Quartermaster Corps has reduced the weight of Joe light equipment by about five pounds since 1962, cutting 100 tons average per division.
