Body Gets
Unceremonious Burial

blanket he chose to drape about
him when his own clothing was
taken away after his arrest.
Unmarked Grava
' The Himmler grave in the
woods, a patch of pines, waj not
marked, for the allies do not
want the Germans to remove the
body or mark the spot for some
monument later.
Some efforts were made to ob
tain a pine coffin of the type
used by the Germans to bury
victims of the notorious Belsen
concentration camp, but none
could be found,
"Let the worm go to the
worms," a Tommy said.
That was the" only comment
spoken at the grave.
Ground Smoothed
Dirt was shoveled on the body
and the ground smoothed so as
to leave no trace that it was the
final resting place of one of the
men who strode most heavily
across the nazi stage. '
An intelligence officer who
was present when Himmler
clamped his teeth into the little
vial of poison said the quick
acting draught took effect almost
immediately and Himmler died
without saying a word.
The nazi chieftain had been
stripped and examined, the of
ficer said, and. his last request
was for a shirt to cover his
nakedness. He had just slipped
on this garment when he took
his own life.

WE know now that wreckage

their scheme to retire into the

going to accept the Jap dare
to "come in and kill the whole
70 million of us in our holes and
caves if you think you can.
Instead, we seem to be get
ting ready to do the job ou
way.
XJEANWHILE a blistering 18-
hour battle fought largely
the Jap SUICIDE way rages on
and around Okinawa.
The little yellow men, draw
ing on their dwindling plane re
serves, send in a STRONG air
fleet and in the ensuing swirling
dogfight damage 11 light units of
our fleet (a light unit, generally
speaking, is apt to 'ie anything
from a destroyer down). They
lost 111 planes in the Okinawa
scrap and 35 more in American
sweeps from Okinawa to Tokyo.
Since the battle of the Ryuk
yus started, we have destroyed
(not including those damaged)
4247 Jap planes.
,. . .
AS announced by the Japs
" themselves yesterday, they
sprung a new suicide scheme on
us. sending in specially trained
"giretsu" teams in twin-engine
cargo planes to make belly land
ings on our airfields.
As these planes slid in, their
crews, numbering apparently
from 8 to 15 men, piled out and
dashed toward our parked
planes, ammunition dumps, oper
ational buildings ANYTHING
in sight seeking to blow them
up before the explosive-toting
Japs could be killed.
AP Vern Haugland says the
first of these attacks left our
men so gogglef-eyed with sur
prise that the Jap crew had time
to pour out of the plane, huddle
for a conference, then reach back
in for their gear before getting
fired on. Then ' they opened up
and mowed the death-seeking
Japs down (those that were only
wounded promptly committed
suicide).
i ' '
AS disclosed by a check-up so
far. at least 11 of these "gi-
retsu't planes, carrying crews of
up to 15 Japs, were finished off
by us. Seven of our planes, as so
far counted, were destroyed in
the attacks. As nearly as can be
judged from these incomplete
statistics, it doesn't look like a
good swap from the Jap stand
point. IT'S a bitter battle at Okinawa.
Our losses in KILLED so far
amount to a combined total of
9602, of which 44 per cent is
navy, 39 per cent army and 17
per cent marines. The Jap loss
(counted bodies) is around
50,000.
!
TN yesterday's B-29 raid over i
Tokyo, we lost 19 of the big!
bombers 3.8 of the 500 an
nounced as participating.
We must rememoer that our :
losses when we were destroying
the German airforce and starting j
wholesale destruction of Ger-
man war plants were grim. No .
one is likely to forget soon the j
day we lost 64 American bomb-
ers and their crews of Ameri-!
can boys over Schweinfurt. Our i
losses over Japan will be cor-1
respondingly heavy. Unfortu- j
nately, victory can't be won i
without losses. j
But we'll destroy the Jap air-
force, and later we'll destroy the
Jap war industry as we did to
the Germans. The japs Kisuw
it.
