French Still Fear Germans The French still fear the Ger mans more than they do the Rus sians and the atom bomb. They don't seem to share our fear of Russia. The last war is still strongly in the minds of the people. The damage- is so great it will take 15 years or recover. While railroads and hotels are operating as usual, everywhere are the scars of war. He described bombed bridges, and tumbled masses of ruins. The people don't want to replace these historic landmarks with new structures. They want to rebuild them as they were. For example, the Italians want to replace the Arno bridge as it was before the war. Scientists are studying the an cient records in an attempt to re build it with all its grandeur. fisher lightly touched on his visitations to the various scenic attractions in the seven countries he visited.
