Flood Control on the Rhine and the American Army's Aim

A U S Army columnist argues that Allied victory should reshape Germany and Europe. He asserts the Army seeks a lasting peace and a dismantling of German war industries, with harsh penalties for Nazi leaders and strong postwar security to prevent future wars. He links this to a broader American duty to build a just, stable order in Europe and ensure never again a Germany that could wage war. He calls for allied unity, a clear plan for postwar Germany, and a long term international force to enforce peace.
