Zeddie P. Barron Letters to Wife, April 1945
- Containers:
- 07.0077 - Box 1, Folder 022
- Scope and content:
Barron describes his observations of German civilians and the war destruction that he sees in Aachen and Duren. His supply outfit receives a group of Italian prisoners, and they are used for labor. He comments that the Italians were so recently enemies of the United States, and that it is odd to see them happy to be in American hands. They have the same privileges as the American soldiers and are not under guard. He speculates that war is just a phase of politics, and that the Americans and Germans will soon be "falling on each other's shoulders in brotherhood to keep the Russians in their place." He describes the German V-1 bomb, or "buzz bomb", and the experiences he had in Belgium of taking cover from them.
