German Sub Surrenders To Crew Including Local Man

Coast Guardsman Arthur T. (Ted) Bolinger, Petty Officer, second class, of 304 N. Fourth street, was a member of the crew of a Coast Guard manned destroyer escort which accepted the capitulation of the first Nazi sub to surrender in this war. While protecting’a convoy off the Azores, the DE came upon the U-873 in the early morning hours of May 11. Surfacing the sub commander said he was surrendering in compliance with the orders of Grand Admiral Doenitz. Upon boarding the Nazi ship, the crew of the DE found a stupid, sullen crew, an enormous amount of filth, and an ill stocked galley. Precautions were taken to make it impossible for the Germans to scuttle the ship, and a prize crew was left aboard to bring the captive ship into the Portsmouth Navy Yard. The crew of the sub had destroyed all confidential papers, and secretive equipment. There were still three torpedoes aboard ready for firing. All members of the German crew were seasoned veterans of submarine warfare, and many of them wear the iron cross. There were 59 men and eight officers. Fred Kunkel Writes Os Being Liberated Uncensored Letters Written To Parents Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Kunkel have received three letters from their son, Fred, who was recently liberated from a German prison camp. These are the first uncensored letters he has been permitted to write. He is waiting to be processed and shipped home. His only address now is Decatur, rural route 1. The letters, condensed. include the following excerpts: “This is the first letter I could write that is not to be censored. Just from habit I stop and think what I can write so that it will not be cut out. We were liberated April 26 from a prison camp at Etringten,

Many a worker, who once stepped on his own starter, today counts himself lucky when nobody steps on his toes in a jam-packed ’bus or trolley. Accustomed to shorter hours, he is surprised at his strength and skill to perform the more difficult tasks of a wartime day. It is his ambition to produce and produce and produce and thus hasten the day when our valiant youth will work by his side again. Yes, everybody has been more weary in wartime than ever before,

I i .. ijE .< t wbr■ After the submarine had been ] brought safely into Portsmouth,* the German skipper, Kapitanleittenant Fritz Steinhoff, committed suicide by slashing his wrists, The remainder of the crew were interned in this country. This action was the first in this war in which a German submarine surrendered to an American ship without a shot being fired. Germany, located south of Augsburg. The 12th Armored division, the one we were in when captured, liberated us| and those Gl’s coming in sure looked good to us. 1 got to see some of the fellows that were in our company —the ones that were left in it. We were flown from there to Rheims, France, and from there by train to a camp about 45 miles from LeHavre, where we are now waiting to be processed before being shipped home. It may be some time though because there are so many waiting to go, and we will have to wait for a ship, I though I hope not too long. We are having it easy now, nothing to do but eat. For chow we are getting hospital rations and it sure tastes good. It is very warm and we are trying to get some sun tan.

not forgetting that patient Mother who is first on the job before breakfast. And, who of us isn’t determined to carry on to total victory? If America hadn’t had the spirit to pull together, if we hadn’t sharpened our wits, if we hadn’t surprised ourselves with our own sinew and self-reliance, we might feel uneasy over whatever trials may lie ahead.
