The Germans' New Year's eve

by United States 7th army
forces. For 30 hours the capital
of Alsace, across the Rhine from
Germany was held by the two
Stars and Stripes sergeants and
a company of military police.
On January 2 the citizens of
Strasbourg saw the Americans
pulling out. To them this was a
sign of disaster for they knew
the Germans only too well,
"Day of Fear"

"day of the great fear" for the

The two sergeants, who had
been publishing the army news-
paper, Stars and Stripes, in
Sicily, Italy, southern France
and Alsace, heard the order to
move and decided to stay put.
They thought the troops needed
the paper as well as the citizens
of Strasbourg.
For three days after their Staff
reluctantly left the two terg
eants painfully published the
Stars and Stripes with the aid
of three front-line reporters and
a French linotype operator. It
came out as one sheet, in Eng
lish French and German and
was the only news Strasbourg
had.
Electricity failed often during
the night and it was S a. m. be
fore the first issue was off the
press. The boys slept a few hours
and then distributed the paper
throughout the eity. Because of
that panic was prevented, ac
cording to testimony of dozens
of Strasbourg citizens.
Took Flags Down
"The worst moment for us,"
said Dallalre, "was the day we
went around with the people of
Strasbourg and helped them
take down their French and
American flags. We were so
ashamed we couldn't look each
other or the people in the face.
And they were ashamed and un
happy, too. After all, you can't
blame them. Look at the way
the Germans treated them when
they were here. They knew what
would happen If the Germans re
turned. It would have been one
of the greatest massacres of this
war, and thats saying some
thing." Sat. Victor Dallalre is the
