Garber letter paints Paris kiss crowd and war life
Lieutenant Glenn O. Garber Jr writes from near the German border describing Paris as lively after Allied entry where women showered affection and flowers greeted the column. He recalls rest in Luxembourg, meals from local gardens, improvised coffee, a jeep as a home, and humor about Jerry the German danger. He mentions meeting Danielle Darrieux and Ruby Rubirosa in a warm visit, plus roughing it in August, a helmet bath, and surviving encounters with Germans whom he calls rats. He notes nursing a sense of safety, yet ongoing movement and danger, and ends with a line about Germans being a nuisance due to their flight.
