Marine Airmen Told to Tell Reds Anything They Want

Maj. Walter R. Harris testified at a Marine court of inquiry that many airmen captured in Korea were instructed before deployment to disclose information freely to captors. He said a briefing in April 1952 urged truth telling, while others later were told to reveal whatever asked. Harris noted 15 to 80 percent of prisoners were told to tell the Reds anything, with some given limited information or none beyond name, rank, and serial number. He expressed sympathy for Col. Schwable, who signed but repudiated a germ warfare confession after mistreatment and mental pressure.
