his life In Germany, and fled the
country to escape the Hitler re
gime. Ha depicts the utter bewilder
ment and frustration of both of
ficers and men who suddenly
realize that they have been be
trayed by their leaders.
"Never before have I seen
thousands and thousands of peo
ple so completely broken in
spirit people so disgusted with
the way they have been left
holding the bag," Sgt Knoll
writes.
In an Informal talk with a 26-year-old
veteran of the war on
the eastern front, Knoll learned
something of the hopelessness
felt by nazl prisoners in Nor
mandy. This German, a former
Hamburg garage mechanic, told
Knoll:
"Russia was awful, but this
is worse."
"He did not mean the violence
of the fighting nor the condi
tions under which they lived,"
Knoll pointed out, "but this
awful mess Into which they had
been led, this betrayal and the
terrible way in which they had
been forsaken."
Doctor Defends Nails
At another time, the sergeant
talked with a 31-year-old Sude
ten German doctor of the medi
cal corps who had formerly been
a Social Democrat and private
chauffeur of Prince Lobkowitz.
Although not of the' nazl party
and admittedly not anti-Semitic,
was arrogantly philosophical and
defended Hitler's iron-fisted
methods as "birth pangs of
something new something that
must Inevitably accompany a
social revolution." Yet he was
at a total loss when Knoll ask
ed how he a doctor pledged to
save lives could defend the
nazls' wanton slaughter of thousands.
A lieutenant, suspicious at
first, finally warmed up under
Knoll's friendly, casual half
questions. He confessed that in
private he painted and drew as
he wished notwithstanding the
dictates of the state. He had been
an artist In Berlin.
He admitted that national so
cialism is wrong and must ulti
mately give way to freedom.
When the conversation came to
close, the lieutenant said simo-
ly:
"This has been the most rteas-
ant hour I have spent In years,
laiKing rreeiy about art."
Whistling In Dark
On another occasion. Knoll
wandered out Into the rain after
a long session of questioning
prisoners. Later, he ducked Into
a prisoners' tent and huddled

defiant," he relates. "Others
were older and more reserved.
Yet whatever they talked about,
however defiant they wanted to
appear, they gave you the feel
ing that they were whistling In
the dark."
Knoll tells of conversing with
23-year-old master sergeant
who was a veteran of many cam
paigns and had served on the
Russian front. Witty, intelligent
and a student, the Gormnn nt
first cautiously parried Knoll's
questions, but suddenly became
confidential.
"I talked with him for more
than four hours," Knoll writes,
"and with a voice trembling with
emotion, he bared the great fenr
of what was to come an Ideal
ist who had taken the patriotic
ideals at their best, who had
clung to them, and now that
they were smashed faced noth
