Most Wrecked Town

THE MOST WRECKED town I have seen so far is Saint Sauveur le Vicomte, known simply as “San Sah-Vure.” Its buildings are gutted-and leaning, its streets choked with rubble, and vehicles drive over the top of it. hf Bombing and shellfire from both sides did it. The place looks exactly like world war I pictures of ‘such places as Verdun. At the edge of the town the bomb craters are so immense that you could put whole houses in them. “?

After we had finished our buying we all got back in the car, We tried to ask the policemen where they were going. They in turn asked us where we. we going. . Knowing it was hopeless in our ’ limited French to explain that we were going to our camp up the road, we merely sdid Cherbourg, meaning our camp was in flit" direction. But the Frenchmen thought we meant to drive right into Cherbourg, Which was still in German hands. Quick as a flash they jumped up, hit the driver on the shoulder to get the car stopped, shook hands rapidly all around, saluted, and scurried out with a terrified “au revoir.” None of that Cherbourg stuff for those boys. . Some of the German officers are pleased at being captured, but your died-in-the-wool Nazi is not. They brought in a young one the other day who was furious. He considered it thoroughly unethical that we fought so hard. The Americans had attacked all night, and the Germans don’t like night attacks. . When this special fellow was brought in he protested in rage.
