Marriage tales from Allied Air Forces officer in France
Fontainebleau April 16. A 21 year old Pella radio mechanic A2c Harlan J Nieuwsma reports to Allied Air Forces Central Europe. He says US servicemen marry French girls at a far lower rate than Germans, British or Americans due to language and religious barriers. He notes French women are modest and family tied, and describes 17 microwave relay stations across rural France. Nieuwsma, son of John and Mrs. Nieuwsma of 915 Union St, came from Sewart AFB Tennessee after training at Scott AFB Illinois and served as a high school student council VP before enlisting in August 1952.
