Reynolds, On Tank, Writes From Germany The following letter, written by 1'fc. John C. Keynobls, serving in Oermany, w/< called to the attention of the Herald by Clarence Myers, wLo received the letter last week. It contains an interesting story of the final wind-up in European fighting: Germany. April 20, 1945 Hi Pal: Have received several letters from you in the past few days. Always glad to hear from you..I want to thank you for giving me tff6 .news around K. M. I guess maybe it has not changed so much after all. I sure would like to see the place, but 1 know there is lots oP familiar faces to me back there that 1 will not be seeing anymore. I know of all thef boys and some of them personally* that you wrote of missing and killed in action. T am so sorry to hear of their death., and they are a great loss to their' people and town. Yes, 1 know Pete Lynn. Hope he shows up soon. I do not remember Casey yon wrote of. Maybe 1 know him by face, where and what kind of work did he dot 8o, Walt Carpenter is farming. I thought he would always be in- the trucking business, and Jessie is haul ing freight. Tell them both hello for me. I guess Henry is still driving a truck, and sitting around telling those tall tales. I used to enjoy sitting around, listening to him tell stories of old times, and some 'of his experiences. Does he have his own truck, or does he drive for some one else. Tell him hello for me. Yes, I know that lots of boys are coming home on a furlough from overseas, but I would never be that lucky. I suppose the war will have to be over eompletly before I get to come home. If you keep up with the news, you probably know, I am very busy and on the go these day. ' I am well and gettlpg along very I good. Hope you all are well and Jo. k. As we are advancing all alongside the road, toe German children are waving white flags Jio ns as we pass. Of course they are not hollering and cheering as ia Italy and Tranee. Most of them ate very solemn looking. Oaee in a while one will sfeile dui not orren. we are not allowed to talk or have anything to do with then. If we do and are caught we are heavily fined or courtmagtialed. MayBfe both. I do not want anything to do with them anyway. An) I jnst ignore them. Not many of them try to talk to as. Once In a while one will try to be friendly. Most the time he is just ignored. They jnst stand and stare at as, as we pass, as much as to say, "You are not really heje. This rannot happen to as. Hitler told as so." They seem to be seared of as, and think we will shoot them on sight, or mass murder them as they did the people of other countries. Not long ago, 1 overheard a Gorman boy about 14 years old, he could apeak English, ask an American soldier, "What are you Americans gtv >1 to do with us." He just ignored him. It sare Is something to see just how had soiae of the towns are destroyed frees bombs and shells, just a pile of ehhrrOd rubble and wreckage, death and destruction all -around. You just have to see it to be* Here. No one can explain how it is. Enough for anyone who has not seen H to understand how it is. Some of the towns are like ghost towns? I fcard^y see anyone around and what Kintl do see are hid, and yet .they BaKf*- Of eonrse there Jp sense IfttSBr tpWaa that* have not bona t*W| w^?r?vvr9?

TU -re is also n 'happy looking hunch ot people going back the sumo way anyway they can. They are the slave laborers from other countries, thnt ; Germany hay. They are smiling and eheering us on as :ve pass giving the j V for Victory sign with their fingers and some of them saluting each tank and vehicle as it passes. There are j thousands of them, trying to get back home anyway they can. They sure seem to be happy to be free again. Some have been prisoners for 5 years or more. I guess some of them will be a long time getting home. I used to wmtch and listen to the planes, big bombers, going over Germany by the thousands, wondering to myseir, "What kind of Job are fftey doing and how mnch are they doing towards ending the war, and now ) have seen lota of what they havo done and boy, what a job well done. Cities levelled to the ground, trains completely destroyed, vehicles and horses knocked o.ut by the thousands. All along the road yon just have to see it to believe. Its real mountainous here. Sure some pretty scenery along the way. From top of the high mountains. The valleys and hill sides are n dark green, with little white winding roads and traHsf dotteTT .TTb small villages here and there, with red tile houses, tops shining, and lots of fruit trees and flowers in full bloom. Its just like a picture. Wish 1 you could see it, but not like I am from top of a tank. I am sitting in a big apple orchard in full bloom writing this, seems like spring birds are singing and is a beantiful day, real warm.
