Germans toil to spare trenches say packard man in France
John Brady of the Packard technical service department recently returned from France and reports German prisoners work hard and stay useful to avoid exchanges. He notes German officers direct tasks, guards supervise, and prisoners handle water and truck radiators with little touch of the vehicles, while passports and IDs show broad variety. Brady says the quiet Havre evenings carry distant shelling sounds, and his French transportation work helps restore Packard trucks to service after partial damage.
