With little chokes of emotion, a
half-dozen females asked the ex
tremely polite major whether per
haps, just maybe, he had met their
cousin (or brother, or boyfriend)
Joe, or Johnny, or Ezekial, who
was a private (first class), or ser
geant, or lieutenant colonel in
Frances or Sicily or in the Pacific
theater? Or they asked, would the
major ‘‘look him up sometime?”

The sergeant had been one of
the many Poles who composed part
of the German troops. "The Nazis
are fanatics,” he declared, “there
is no doubt about that. They have
been brought up to believe that
they are right. The coming genera
tion of German youngsters have
been trained the same way and
that will be one of the major post
war problems.”
“I have been asked how I felt
towards the Nazis, whether I hated
them. One of my best friends was
shot down, two buddies went out
to get him in a stretcher and lost
both their legs. The Boche had tied
a mine under the body of my
friend. Do I hate the Nazis ? The
answer is yes! I assure you there
is nothing glamorous about being
a commando.”

With OWI
Described
Life as a member of the psycho
logical warfare team, office of war
information, was vividly described
by Palmer Hoyt Jr. in a letter to
Dean Virgil Earl. Hoyt, a former
student at the University, is a
captain in this department and is
serving in Assam, India.
Enclosed in his letter to Dean
Earl was an occupational rupee.
The paper was inscribed with the
words “Japanese Government—One
Rupee.” No guarantee to pay was
made.
Though the men are kept busy,
Hoyt explained that they still have
time to see several movies a week.
“We sit through anything from
Blondie movies up,” he said.
Since he is a civilian attached
to the army, Hoyt was required to
have both civilian and military
dress with him. “So far,” he writes,
“we haven’t even seen the inside
of a civilian shirt.”
Hoyt’s father, Palmer Hoyt Sr.,
is publisher of The Oregonian.
