~ Germany And World
i War Il
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON—When American, British Rus
sian and French supreme commanders in the Allied
Control Council get to work in Berlin, one of their]
first concerns will be to rourd up and wipe out the
German General Staff. In the Declaration of Yalta,
it was stated that this was one of the primary
objectives to insure that Germany would never
again be able to threaten war.
This highly specialized job will consist of settling
the fate of what’s left of a select corps estimated at
2,200 to 2,500 officers, most of whom are believed
to be still alive.
In the World War I period they would all have
come from the old German Junkers officer class.'
A few of the top men, the generals in the staff|
corps, are still hangovers from this old aristocracy.
But for the most part, the young men who might
be considered dangerous enough to start World
War 111 are soldiers who have come up from the
ranks. ;
Before any soldier could become an officer in
the German army of World War II he had first to
pass a week’s psychological examination which was
intended to show his fitness as officer material. Itl
he passed, he then spent his first year as a private,J
his second as a corporal, then eight months in an
officers’ candidate general service school and six
months in the school of the army for which he was}
best fitted. After this training of over three years
he was a second lieutenant. ‘
TOUGH EXAM TO HURDLE |
When he rose to the rank of captain he could
become eligible for the General Staff. First, how
er, he had to pass a competitive examination which
was a terror. Many candidates failed and went
back to the line. :
If he passed, the young captain went to General
Staff school in the Institute of Technology at
Berlin-Charlottenburg. Here his courses weré
highly specialized. His classes were small. There
was one instructor detailed to every 10 men and
this instructor stayed with his charges all through
a stiff two-year course, coaching them, cramming
them, making out their efficiency reports. Those
who passed became members of the select General
Staff Corps for life, entitled o wear a red stripe
down their pants legs and be the envy of all the
First assignment of a General Staff officer, how
ever, was with troops. Two out of every six years
of the staff officer’s life had to be spent in command
of troops, and his efficiency rating and advance
ment, though on promotion lists separate from those
of the line officers, were rated on ability to com
mand in the field. The theory was that if a staff
officer could not command, he could not plan for
others to command. ?
‘Weak spot in the German General Staff set-up,
‘ag:ording “to U. S. military authorities, was that it
was never able to keep ahead of Hitler. The Ger
man General Staff took Hitler to its bosom when
he became political leader of the Reich, but there-
Qer it was never able to keep Him'ih control. He
moved into Austria before the General Staff was
rfidy He moved against France before the General
Staff was ready for the logical step, an invasion
RED-STRIPERS HARD TO LOCATE
To find where the once-proud wearers .of the
red-striped pants are now will #ake some searching.
Some are in Russian, British and French hands.
Those taken prisoner by the U S. are Kept ‘segre
gated in Germany, can easily be tried and treated
as they deserve. e R e
What their potential is for making another war
is unknown. Some U. S. staff officers consider this
potential nil. The war ministry has been bombed
to dust. Many of its records were destroyed. Some
moved to Silesia have been captured, And German
industry has been wrecked.
The one possibility for a German comeback in
war will be for some other government -to- create
it. T!lat is what happened the last time. U. S. loans
helped Germany finance a new start after World
War I and Great Britain and France sold Germany
many of the raw materials they needed. All three
—and Russia—helped German industry to prepare
for a new war. As long as one remnant of the
German General Staff Corps personnel or spirit is
kept alive and free to plan such a comeback, it
can happen again.,

IS NAZISM DEAD?
From inside circles of the Germans,
there comes information from no less au
thority than Field Marshall Montgomery,
that where ever the Germans are held
prisoners, Nazisy remains supreme with
them. In speaking of this condition, Mont
gomery said: “The country is down on its
knees but needs watching. Many young
German officers, among the two million
to be demobilized, in the British zore,
are annoyed that Germany has lost the
war and they want a chance to prepare
for another war.”
l He also thinks that German staff offi
cers should be isolated from each other
(and sent to camps outside of their country.
As for the S 8 troops, it would be well to
keep them in concentration camps for
twenty years and an army of occupation
remain in Germany for, from six to ten
years until a civil government can replace
the military. The women and girls too,
should be watched, they have served in
the armies and war auxiliaries of their
country and are as deeply imbued with
Naxi doctrines as the men,
In the United States, our government
has strictly adhered to the terms of the
Geneva conference and the German pris
oners of war, confined in thig country.
have been treated with consideration, for
their health and well being. Good food,
comfortable quarters, as well as movies
for their entertainment. Commissaries at
their barracks provide cigarettes, drinks,
and candy. However it is doubtful, if
these prisoners when they return to their
country, will be appreciative of the treat
ment accorded them by our government,
so deeply has Hiter’s Nazism penetrated.
NO APPLES FOR GI JOE
Although it would be somewhat less
than strange if men and women in the
Armed Forces give thought more or less
frequently to such subjects as postwar
bonuses, pengions and other benefits, the
typical GI appears to be making his own
realistic and practical plans for his
civilian future. :
If he is hoping and expecting anything
from the government in recognition of his
war services, he still is’t staking his future
on something that just might happen. He
appears to be determined to be sure of
something, and through his own foresight
and efforts. He is doing what he can—
and it is considerable—to make certain
that he will never stand on a street cor
ner selling apples.
The Office of War Information is au
thority for the report that 83 per cent——
more than $4 out of ever ss—paid sol
diers in the European Theater. of Opera
tions is being sent home in the form of
family allotments, insurance premiums,
War Bonds and other savings. Obviously,
an enormous resvoir of savings has been
and is being thus accumulated.
What is GI Joe going to do with his
savings? The Army has been endeavor
ing to find out through 'a letter contest
conducted by “‘Stars and Stripes,” the
Army newspaper, and open to every sol
dier in ETO who has a War Bond allct
;ment in force or has bought a bond since
May 1.
Since prizes include 15 new automo
biles, 15 electric refrigerators and 20
cabinet radios, it is necessary to say that
letters have poured in by the thousands.
And, in the aggregate, they paint an in
spiring and encouraging picture of the
soldier’s plans for himself when he re
turns to civilian life. Let's examine ex
cerpts from a few of them,
“An education for my five children
and.a home for my wife,” réads one. “I
am going to buy a couple of acres on a
crystal, clear stream and put up an es
tablishment of my own,” says another.
And, from some of the other letters: “Es
tablish a small flying school.” ... *“A
chicken business.” . .. “Study agricul
ture.” ... “Take a refresher course under
the GI Bill of Rights and go back to teach
ing.”” ... Attend a business management
school.” . .. “Establigh g dude ranch,” .. . .
“Provide for the daughter born the day
I landed over here.” , . And, in a great
many letters—buy a home.
So, while it is too much to expect that
all soldiers will return to civilian life pre
pared to go “on their own,” a great many
aren’t going to have to ask anything of
anyone. They doubtless will strive for, and
accept, whatever they may consider- their
due. But, come what may, theyll .get
along.
"~ If the day of the street cormer apple
should return, it isn’t likely that the typi
cal ex-GI Joe will be doing the selling.
More likely he will do the buying.
Whatever the answer to the old ques
tion, “What’s cookin’'?” the next questicn
is “Where'd you get it?”

300 cartons of cigarets and 40 boxes of

This is, a true story of the
men who fly the “hump’”—
carrying passengers and cargo
over the high Himalayas be
tween India and China. Pilots
call it the toughest airline
route in the world.
ST. ELMO’S FIRE
111.
You miss crashing like that
once in a lifetime, and when you
do, you leah ‘back and say,
“Thanks, God.” After that, if you
have time, yow say .it again and
again, and then again, But I
didn’t have time for more thayx
the first one. - %
I kept the motors at full throt-i
tle and took the highest altitude
the ship would take, 21,000 {ee{}
then I motioned Fox to take o
his mask. I put ond%g own and
took a couple of é‘*draughts.
I looked back at Tsui and saw
the blueness filtering through ‘his
yellow skin. He was out cold.
Even while we were gaining
altitude I had begun to correct
out course, pulling the ship hard
off to the southwest, and the
fight became a battle not only
against the winds blowing north
but against the ice that kept
dragging us down. We could hold
only to 21,100 feeet even at full
throttle for a matter of 10 or 15
minutes; then the altimeter began
to show a steady decline. Our
only hope was to get out of the
high mountain range before we
were dragged too low.
At the time of that flight, in
February, 1943, Bill Fox had
only been with us a couple of
months. He still hadn’t checked
out as a full pilot, and there were
a lot of things he hadn’t seen
that most of us with C. N. A. C,
were more or less accustomed to
—and I say “more or less” ad
visedly.
St. Elmo’s Fire, for instance. I
don’t care how many times a man
sees that, it always does some
thing to‘him. Gingiss, Privensal,
Johnson, “Skippy” Lane, =2ll the
boys I flew with in China, they
all felt the same way.
We pulled through those Tibe
tan peaks by the grace of God—
there’s no other way of account
ing for it—and got ourselves well
south of the heavy ice. But when
the ice began to thin, it turned
into just plain ice water, thien
this phenomenon of St. Elmo’s
began.
1 had been riding with it for
some 10 minutes—Fox was only
semi-conscious in the eo-pilot’s
seat—and the blue flame was
licking 'at the windshield and
along the leading edges of the
wings wasn’t bothering me at all
That is, I had overcome that in
itial fright that it always brings
sibh it -
But I reached out to set the
Igyr_ocomp;:xss and that was when
ox first noticed it. My hand was
still two inches away from the
instrument when the blue flame

leaped across like an arc light,‘
throwing a dim blue flash]
through the cockpit. Fox scream
ed—l know he did, although he
always denied it——and I laughed.
I felt as though I had pulled a‘
trick that he couldn’t under—'
stand. I was delighted — in the
way, of course, that only a man
with too little oxygen in his lungs
can be delighted. And for all the
tungsten I had carried from China
to India I couldn’t have explain
ed to poro Fox then that St.‘
Elmo’s Fire was a phenomenon of
static electricity, generated- by‘
the rain beating against the plane, ‘
under peculiar climatic conditions
that exist in only a few parts of<
the world. The fire is truly dan
gerous because it’s real fire. If
you were carrying a cargo of gas~-
oline it could easily mean an eX
plosion in mid-air. Qur cargo was
not combustible, so 1 was not
worried on that score, but Bill
Fox passed completely out the
moment he had finished his hys
terical scream.
Our emergence from that Him
alayan storm was one of the
most abrupt things I've ever en
countered in the air, in either
fog-bound England or in China.
}lt was just as if a window shade
had snapped up to let in the
sunshine. We were out of the
‘storm. The grayness of the win~-
‘dows _turned to silver light. From
ithat brilliant glear they took on
‘the myriad hues of a rainbow.
}lndia’s sun, even at 18,000 feet,
'was turning our world of ice in
to water.
I took the-ship® down at 1,000
feet per minute and at 10,000
feet I reached cver and pushed
‘wit“h gigantic effort to open the
iside window and get a breath of
air.
At 6,000 feet we swept out of
the clouds. Below us I could see
the Brahmaputra River running
its smooth blue ribbon through
the deep green blanket of India’s
Assam Valley. Fox had come
around and was+shepeishly reor
ganizing himself at the auxiliary
controls: Tsui was stirring behind
us, and he and the passengers
would soon be all right.

at Dinjan and Tsui went back to
tell our passerigers to get ready
to land, I said to Fox, “I'm going
to make it this time, Bill. I'm
going to set her down neat as 4
pin, and Captain Bridgit, that old
dog, won’t have a chance to
wash me out this time.”
Fox, of course, didn’t know
what I was talking about. I
hadn’t seen Captain Bridgit for
years. He had nothing whatever
to say about me or about any
thing I did or did not do now. He
was in the Army Air Corps and I
was a civilian pilot for the China
National Aviation Corporation.
But what I was thinking about
was all the trouble I had gone
through to get into Randolph
Field in 1938—and then that last
flight of mine as a cadet when
Bridgit (a darned nice guy, I had
always thought before) washed
me out as an Army pilot with the
remark on my final papers: "A
dangerous [flyer.”
